Mayor Horton then stated that a call had been received from Mr.
Richard Wagner who said he would not be able to attend today's
meeting and did not have anything more to add to his last pre-
sentation, nor would he have until after Thursday, when Delray
Beach's Revenue Bond Issue was scheduled for sale.
Mayor Horton suggested that the members of the Commission think
this matter over and be ready to come up with some kind of con-
sensus by next Tuesday, November 6th.
Commissioner Storm thought that this matter should be given
careful study until the money supply can be determined - brought
about by a mistake made within the Federal Reserve System.
