It has often been stated by
this author over the previous
years that the potential for de­
velopment and political stability
in Southern Africa would lead to
a reversal of the economic plight
cin Afri in th p nt
riod.
Based upon the growth of
western colonialism in the sub­
continent, the structural links
from South Africa run deep into
the heart of Africa to the north
as far as Zaire.
Much of the political turmoil
that has engulfed the region over
the last generation found its ori­
gin in the persistence of white
minority rule and intervention
among the African peoples and
states.

infrastructural linkages ema­

He stated that since this had
not been mentioned in the notice
for th peci I m ing, it would
be against the law to act on this
at the m ting.

ary for the city to act quickly or
other organizations, including

and the city might have to wait
for two months before getting its

At the m ting McClary aid
the a ministration had used the
same pretext for tryi-ng to rush
through the municipal complex,
noting in the fall of last year that
if there was a delay, the 'struc­
ture could not be built.
The city council approved the
new municipal complex this
spring and it is going through, he
noted.
SOME MEMBERS OF the
city council have charged that
special meetings have been
scheduled in order to make pub­
lic scrutiny of city actions more
difficult.
However Wainwright stated
th t b cau o( t.he delay i�
t)uilding the municipal comptex,
"There w re dollar valu and
market values lost," largely be- .
cause of the rise in interest rates.
