Mayor Sundland read the applicable portion of the July 13th minutes which would familiarize those who were present with the Council 's actions up to that point.

In the letter he had informed Mrs . Kuharski that he had been in negotiation with the applicant, Roger E. Springfield, and his partner and, when he reported the opposition to the license demonstrated in. the community, Mr. Springfield had indicated he was interested in becoming a part of the community and, as a way of avoiding such a conflict,. withdrew the application for the license.

Councilman Ranallo questioned the Mayoras to exactly when the appli- cant had withdrawn his beer license request since the Mayor had not • indicated that possibility when the Council had met -the previous evening.
