the transmittal his personal opposition to the action

being signed "A1 Moore, Mayor."

Mayor Moore advised the Council that he would, on plain
white stationery, write a letter to Representative Tom
Lewis and ask him to remove the letterhead of the Village
of North Palm Beach from the top of the letter and strike
through the title "Mayor" at the bottom of the letter,
and would send copies of this letter to those persons
who received a copy of his original letter.
Councilman Brown stated that in view o£ Mayor Moore's
apology and his statement that he will send a letter
on plain paper and sign it "A1 Moore", or take the
letterhead off and the title "Mayor" off of the one that is
up there, he would withdraw the motion if his second is
so willing. Councilwoman Love agreed to withdraw her
