Louise Strander, audience, said she attended some of the meetings on the Metro pipeline and reference has been made to permits Metro would have to obtain from the City of Seattle.

They will lose thousands of dollars in business. The food and candy businesses will be affected by the dust. Council President Phelps said Metro has not made definite commitments.
