W.: Sheehan said on Monday!: evening that in view of the) urgent need for expert as-: 1 sistance in the borough, the.; board had indicated it might p be prepared to act well before the official date. ; Cr Sheehan said that if a ; formal approach was made before the board’s meeting 1
lon December 4 the board! may move almost im- ; mediately. ; Board officers had in]dicated that the board would give such an approach “a most sympathetic hearing.” If it was left till next April lit would be winter again before the board could start 'doing anything positive, said Cr Sheehan.
