Under the State Men£Q''Hye^ne
Law (section 41J4),''a munid-
.palit} is entitled to sddi a Dotice,
if a f acifity is to bouse-12 or more
mentidly disabled persons.
Because ^the 12 faidiWduals
would be supervised by only one
person,' Edwards cMitended that
the fadlrty fell within ihat defini­tion,
and the village prepared to
go^ hito court to clahn a vi^tion
ofthe state law. ' ^^7
