time versus the appraisal done on that property at the time his
company purchased it. Additionally, he was concerned about the
qualifications of the appraiser, the compet ivene s s of his fee,
and the directions given the appraiser in terms of what he would
be appraising.

involved public and private efforts on such items as clean -up,
landscaping, historical preservation, and street and park

efforts. Further, concern was expressed that this would put

Improvement Program for Fiscal 1982 -83 died for lack of a
second.
