<br />the problems of cities under the defense program, there-will be many other topics of discus -

<br />year, regardless of when or where the meeting is held.
<br /> Finally, this conference provides you and your ~city manager an opportunity
<br />to bring up f~r discussion any serious problems now confronting your own city.
