this area who have been willing to
carry their share of the responsi-
bilities of making this a better com-
munity has been one of the niajor
differences in making Clifton 'and

that there appears hope this session
of Congress of passing legislation
which will permit return of aome
of the land to the original owner
or last owner of land along

Congress four years ago on this
matter.
