Noting that Simmons was now the other side of the fence" S. in the litagation proceedings. Charleroi Council Persident Theodore H.

Breuer who presided over the meeting thought it would be appropriate to get his viewpoints on the matter. Yesterday's meeting stemmed from past Charleroi Area Citizens' Committee efforts 10 get Council to effect a takeover of the property in question from the Chamber through a clause in the indenture which the Committee believes may be interpreted as saying that such a takeover can be accomplished if the Chamber indicates it is no longer willing to live up to the terms of the trust. The Committee contends the Chamber's action in attempting to get the trust converted indicates it is no longer willing to live up to the terms of the trust indenture. On June 23, Washington County Court Judge Barron P. McCune ruled that the trust indenture conversion could not be allowed under law since members of the Trust's Board of Directors also serve on the Chamber Board, creating a direct conflict of interests.

The Charleroi Area Citizens' Committee has gone on record as opposing the conversion and as favoring acreage's continued use for recreational purposes. The Charleroi Chamber has the option of appealing Judge McCune's ruling, but no one at last night's meeting had any knowledge of such an appeal being made. It was noted that 10 petitions bearing the names of more than 1,000 persons protesting the trust conversion have been gathered, and, if need be, would be presented to the Washington County Court as evidence of opposition support.
