He said he would appoint a new representative soon. G. Dispersal of Mobile Home Parks Mr. Green said that some of the residents in his ward are concerned that the Bethe l-Danebo a rea is a "dumpi ng ground" for mobil e homes.

He said he is working with the Transportation Division on this issue, but would like the full council to discuss it during its next work session with the division. H.
