<br />deletion of a few clauses in the resolution. Councilman Kopczynski indicated that he had made an
<br />observation and he felt that the houses in the single - family neighborhood would be occupied, before
<br />long, by two or three families. He indicated that he had seen this happen in his district. Mrs.
<br />Helen Pope, 1408 West Linden Avenue, indicated that she has lived on the west side of the city for
<br />50 years and had lived in eight different houses. She felt it was not the responsibility of the
<br />Council to worry about how many people lived there. She felt the city owed the people decent
<br />homes. She indicated that she would hold the Council responsible for the consequences. She
<br />mentioned that the city has always had.the pleasure of planning and the people have had the taking
<br />and she felt the people should be given the privilege of the planning. She mentioned that three
<br />years have been spent on the planning, and she felt she could verify Councilman Newburn's comments
<br />She concluded by indicating that the Council did not live there and she did. Councilman Newburn
<br />indicated that he also lived in that area. Councilman Kopczynski indicated that this condition
<br />was also happening in his neighborhood. He indicated that more homes were being wrecked than
<br />built and that some families were doubling up. He felt this same condition would take place with-
