He pointed out that one of these men is quite occupied as Chair- man of the Snell lane Drainage Committee, and that, in his opinion, it would be an imposition on both the Planning Com- mission and Mr. Perkins to expect that he (Mr. Perkins) could give the time required for both the Planning Commission and the Drainage Committee. Councilman Aiken then stated, "I would pleased to vote for this man, Mr. Perkins, at a future time if and when he can give the time required so that his appointment would not be a burden on the other commissioners." Councilman Aikun said, "The other man is on record as favoring clusters, has a large holding of land in the Town, specifically suitable for developing clusters, and is a member of the 'inner circle. " lie further indicated that the appointment of either of the men, at this particular time, would seem to be 'an obvious political gesture.'"
