Burgan, 35, for the past years adult program secretary of the Albuquerque Y. The new secretary replaces Edward A. Lamb, who resigned last October. Burgan takes over his new duties Jan. 11.

A native of Benton Harbor, Burgan worked in the YMCA in that city prior to attending the University of Michigan where he graduated in 1945. 'HIGHLY RECOMMENDED' Magnuson said the new appointee "comes highly recommended by officials in New Mexico." O. G. Redman, chairman of the personnel committee, expressed "delight" in obtaining the services "of such a well-qualified secretary. His training and past experiences will be of real value to the San Bernardino association as it expands its services to men," Redman Burgan will be responsible for the physical education program for men and high school boys as well as for the non-physical program for men.

The latter is to be expanded under Burgan's leadership, according to Magnuson.

Board Discusses Rezoning Plan The San Bernardino City Planning Commission Thursday night again discussed the possibility of rezoning the north side of Foothill boulevard between the west city limits and the flood control channel from R-l residential to C-3A commercial. This time the commission was under no pressure on the thorny issue. It was listed on the agenda as "to be initiated by the com mission." "It is unrealistic." said Com missioner B. V. McKinney, "to hold this strip in R-l." He added.

however, that he did not believe it should be thrown open for any (Continued on Page 21, Column 6) F. McGlothlen, was present at the meeting with his attorney, James E. Cunningham'.

Councilmen indicated that they might allow the 600 feet of pipe to remain if used only for connecting portions of the company's system, and not for serving homes. It was also understood that councilmen objected to letting the private water company serve areas in the city for two, reasons: 1. The company would be unable to provide sufficient water for fire protection, an objection later denied by McGlothlen. 2. Since the sale of city water pays in part for city sewage disposal, the residents served by a private water company, would not be contributing to sewage disposal expense.

The matter may be given fur-thur consideration at the 4 p.m. Monday council session. INFORMAL MEETING CONDUCTED BEEF Councilmen Stand on Previous Decision on Street Cut Permit ONE CANDIDATE FILES FOR WATER BOARD POST For cur Freezer Finest Eastern 6 Mo. to Pay Forequarter, U.S. lb.

Blair and representatives of a private water company and a subdivider, maintained a firm stand on their Monday night action in revoking a street cut permit to the water company. It was understood that the councilmen, who had unanimously voted to revoke the street cut permit, declared that the mayor had ordered the permit issued and thus had broken a "gentleman's agreement" decided upon by individual council-men and Blair.

At least some of the council-men at the Thursday session, it was reported, had denounced in strong language the informal meeting to reconsider their Monday night action. They indicated, however, they might give further consideration to part of Monday night's action which would require the company to take up 600 feet of its main, said laid before the street permit was issued along Golden avenue.
