Meeting Not Open

Tonight's meeting, said Mrs.
Gunter, will not be open to public
opinion. "We hope to have a
spokesman for our group opposing
the plan, but don't know if
they'll let us or if we can get
someone to present our views.

"We may not get another
chance to speak on the plan unless
the City Council has another
open hearing on the special area
concerning the proposed east-west
highway."

The present plan which the
commission is seeking to adopt
calls for a four-lane expressway
to be constructed by 1970 that
would parallel the present Grady
and Gordon avenues and join
Emmet Street at a cloverleaf in
Lambeth Field.
