a spirited debate in which : most
of the members. ;expressed their
`;views, ' a : division was taken.
which resulted in a; . vote • of 29
to 6 in•favoiir of the Committee's
recommendation. A previous prop n
posal that the building. be erect-.
ed in., a locality : other/ than.. Wal

:. be re-routed directly eastward to

ly defeated, .
