Re: Local 49: (See Minutes of June 11, 1957)
Mr. Larkin McLellan discussed the matter from the unionts point of view and requested
that the Council accept the Labor Adjustment Panelts report, even though the wages

many of the fringe benefits previously requested by the union.

grounds and bases of the Labor Adjustment Panel report. Mr. Arno Denzin advised

of "hard feeling" and "dissatisfaction" in the Street Department. Mr. Denzin
further stated that the lack of position classifications prevented him from
employing qualified personnel at this time.

Panel, and adopt the resolution attached thereto entitled:
