Whereas it has come to the attention of this City Council that a large majority of
the per~sons.~res£ding in South woo~], a subdivision of this Cit~, have, by a vote at an election,
which was not sponsored b¥1this City Council and was entirelvunoffictal, expressed their oppos-
ition t~ the acquisition of a home by ~r. Sing ShenS and his family ~in that subdivision; and
Whereas said election was conducted at the request o~ ~r. Sheng, after he had learned
of some opposition to ~im as a prospective resident in that subdivision; and
Whereas ~r. Sheng is a man of high intelligence and of thee best character and is

pre judice,
