Such opposition op-position as there was faded as the discussion continued the final vote being about 10 to one in favor of the new organization. The voting permits the establishment establish-ment of a voluntary civic organization organi-zation with a nine man council to head up the community under which will work nine standing committees: community improvement, improve-ment, schools and education, health and welfare, recreation, public safety, planning and zoning, legislative, commerce and business, and publicity and public relations.

Five officers will be elected for two years and four for one year and thereafter elections will be for two year terms thus making it possible for hold-over positions at each election.

The Cottonwood Heights Community Com-munity Council again expresses its desire to cooperate with the Olympus Community on projects of mutual interest. |
