to discuss this matter with the Commission. Because of the enormous
cost involved in the process which was discussed with the Planning
Commission, they said they could not recommend the purchase only for their

use. The Commission also stated if the maps could be used by other
departments as well it would be a nice set of maps for the City to have.
