03 REGULAR MEETING MAY 12, 1975 REGULAR MEETING - RECONVENED (CONTINUED) it was unreasonable to make these allegations and question the integrity of those persons appearin before the Council. Councilman Kopczynski indicated that he wished to file with the City Clerk a copy of the inspection report listing the deficiencies of the structure. Mr. Forrest Hanna, 1427 East Bowman Street, talked about the procedure of the Council meetings and Councilman Kopczynski had been right in that some people were getting off the subject. He stated that soon after that he, himself, had gotten off the subject. He referred to the Robert's Rules of Order and wondered if the Council used them. He stated that it was a little disgusting to see the Council operate in such a manner. He hoped everyone could be treated equally and the Council meetings could be run smoothly without interruptions and outbursts. An unidentified woman in the audience stated that she felt Councilman Kopczynski had been right in his questioning and comments concerning the Delos House operation. She felt that he represented his people very well, and she expressed doubt about the good of the Delos House program in view of the controversy it has caused. Councilman Newburn indicated that he lived across from the rehab - ilitation home on Olive Street, and he felt what was being done to help the addicts was good.
