NOT FEEL, IN THE LONG RUN, THE TOTAL COST WAS INORDINATELY HIGH. <br />COMMISSIONER LOY DID NOT FEEL THIS SITUATION WILL OCCUR AS <br />FREQUENTLY AS IT HAS IN THE PAST BECAUSE THE HUMANE SOCIETY IS NOW ON <br />A MUCH MORE PROFESSIONAL BASIS DUE TO THE COMPETENCY OF THE NEW MANAGER. <br />39 PAGE 15 <br />MAR 71979 h <br />
