Council

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

'70, secretary, consulted the roll which showed Boucher had attended 7 of 12 meetings. Cries of "impossible" went up around the room.

Austin also criticized Boucher for not attending meetings of a Jubillee committee that he was supposed to head.

Boucher had been informed that the resolution would be discussed last night, but he was not present. He will keep his membership on the Council and forfeit only the office.

The Council also discussed a resolution to expel all its members who had not attended five meetings. Penn killed that resolution for at least a week when he said his attendance records were incomplete.
