The residents within the community objected to the development of any type cemetery within the community, especially colored, and a petition had been circulated and signed by the property owners stating their objections, however, it was feared that this petition would not suffice.

If it is decided that the proposed development can be classified as a subdivision, the Council will exercise its rights concerning the development of a subdivision with- in the five (5) mile radius of the city limit line and move to force the developers to comply with the city's subdivision ordinance. If this can not be done the Mayor suggested that the Attorney for the community file a formal protest in court.
