SEP 1 1951 Roc 47zD <br />THE RESPECT OF A LARGE SEGMENT OF THE COMMUNITY AND OFFENDED MANY <br />CITIZENS WHEN HE AND THE COUNTY ATTORNEY, WITHOUT THE PRIOR KNOW- <br />LEDGE OF HIS FELLOW COMMISSIONERS, MET PRIVATELY WITH ATTORNEY STEVE <br />HENDERSON WHO REPRESENTS FLORIDA LAND CO., ONE OF THE BIGGEST <br />DEVELOPERS OF THE NORTH BEACH TO DISCUSS DENSITIES IN THE ENVIRON- <br />MENTALLY SENSITIVE JUNGLE TRAIL AREA, HE ASKED IF THE CHAIRMAN IS <br />SO BULL-HEADED THAT HE IS TRYING TO COVER UP BY PAINTING THE VERO <br />BEACH CIVIC ASSOCIATION AS THE OPPONENT OF C.L.U.P, WHEN IN REALITY <br />IT IS A LARGE BROAD BASED SEGMENT OF INDIAN RIVER COUNTY WHICH IS <br />CONCERNED ABOUT THE FUTURE OF OUR AREA, NOT JUST THE CIVIC ASSOCIATION <br />MR.
