employed a trained specialist in Urban Development in the person of
Mr, Peter LaBree to make a study of the Nash-Bans Community in order to make
a comprehensive survey and recommendations for the oversall Urban Renewal
Developments in the orea,e In view of the fact that the proposed recommen=
dations of Mr, LaBrie should be expected to include the location of the
parks, playgrounds and other recreational facilities as related to schools,

been finalized.
