I Councilman Anderson entered the meeting. Councilman Britschgi moved that the City Attorney be asked to assist Mr. Martin at the hearing. Councilman Granger was of the opinion that the city was becoming involved in outside territory and believed it would be proper to address a communication to the Railroad Commission and then if Pair.
