Al Canepa abstained, and a prior motion for a joint committee to explore Beckstoffer offers was defeated. Supt. DeVries outlined potential tax impacts from annexations and state funding of up to 7.9 million dollars for construction.

Burns urges Congress to delay lifting U.S. gold ban
Federal Reserve Chair Arthur Burns urged delaying Dec. 31 removal of the 40 year old private gold ownership ban. He warned relaxations could hurt deposits, homebuilding, stock prices, and the dollar while supporting Treasury’s plan to sell 2 million ounces of gold to dampen demand. Burns favored staying out of the gold market after the sale. Treasury Secretary Simon announced the auction, prompting a world price drop.
