High snow buried exit valves and broke protective screens, forcing replacement of 55 motors at 3700 dollars each and round-the-clock work to restore service.

NAR's stance, voiced by Robert Turpin, warned that joining the settlement would contradict the group’s equal opportunity and integrated housing policies. John Linton of NAR offered no reason for boards to join.
