Chairman Efland explained, <br /> due to the high costs of postage, the material had been mailed only to the <br /> chairperson of each township advisory council. <br /> Dr. David Lang, Eno Township Advisory Council, said he had not <br /> received the material. <br /> Mr. Waugh suggested the addition of a Section 1.3.0 with the following <br /> wording: Private Property Rights: This Ordinance, all material included <br /> herein by reference and all material used for the administration of this <br /> _ Ordinance do not take any property, property right nor property use nor <br /> convert any of these to public use except by due process of law." <br /> Proposed Section I.S.
