to the members of the Board,

talk to the Rotary Club in Larchmont he spoke as a Rotarian and not as
a member of the Board. It was his plan that it might be possible to
develop some type of a cooperative apartment house which would serve
a greater number of veterans at a cost that the average veteran could
pay. it was also his idea that a group representing types of business
and professional men could devote their services to develop this pro-
