said the company did not expect the strike. In response to questions he
said the strike appears to be peaceful at this ti�e, and there is no
evidence that it �vill spread if a settlement is nQt negotiated. Mr.

of tYie service is being handled by management. Councilwoman Murdoek

horse facilities in the area. Further, Mr. Perissi was advised of the
community requirements in Rolling Hills regarding service yard pick-up,
