measure are both union groups, IWA-CIO and the Plywood and Veneer
workers local of the ATI Real
estate dealers went on record as
being neutral. Also against it are
representatives from the Lebanon
veterans organizations.
Groups opposing the decontrol
of rents maintain that at the pre
sent time there is definitely not
a surplus of rental units, and there
fore, rent controls should be main
tained in Lebanon, it was stated
by the AFL headquarters.: )
Real estate dealers acting as re
presentatives of landlords, peti
tioned the council several weeks
ago 'to remove rents and the coun
cil approved unanimously at that
time. Final action by the gover
nor, however, was withheld until

Memorial highway, first discussed
about 13 years ago, were revived
