It would not, there- fore, be proper for Council to address those items. Mayor Wilkins objected to some of Mr. Halliday's comments and Mr. Halliday clarified that he was reading a letter authored by his brother, Ed Halliday. Councilman Nelson stated that he had requested written specifics from ' Mr. Halliday the last time he appeared before the Council two or, three months ago and, to date, he has received no information.
