hearing on the matter from the company he wished to register a protest against the erection
of the filling station in this neighborhood.
Mr. Messer, representing Mr. Farrell, a property owner diagonally across the street from
the lot in question registered a protest against the erection of the station.

service station.

The owner of the vacant property on the northeast corner signed the petition.
There was a general informal discussion by the parties interested and the members
of the Commission.
The Chair then asked the Secretary to read two communications. The first from Mrs.
W.E.Watson, member of the Board, in which Mrs. Watson asked E.J.Moughton, to aot
as her proxy and instructing him to vote "no" in granting the permit. The second
letter was from George D.Bishop, member of the Board, in which Mr. Bishop stated that
he was in favor of granting the Wilcox and Branaen permits but was opposed to granting
a permit for the filling station at the corner of Park Avenue and Thirteenth.
The following motion was then made by Mr. Fred T. Williams, "The Planning Commission:
recommends that the request for permit to build a filling station on the corner of
Thirteenth Street and Park Avenue be rejected so long as this property remains in
a zoned Residential District." The motion was seconded by Mrs Morgan. After further
discussion the motion was put to vote and unanimously carried.

request of L.M.Wilcox for permit to operate a small grocery store at the corner of
Holly Avenue and West Third Street. Supporting this request was a waivure of objections
by nineteen residents of that district.
Mr. Williams made the following motion " This property is located in a B Residential
District, in which a business building cannot be erected. However, inasmuch as a portion
of the building on the property has been remodeled into a store room the Commission,
feels that this matter is now outside their jurisdiction." The motion was seconded by
E.J.Moughton and unanimously carried.

it will be impractical to secure more than 20 feet instead of 26 feet as originally
contemplated.
Mr. Williams also presented diagram of a road which it is proposed to open along
the east side of the Catholic and Lake View cemeteries to serve the properties south of these

Mr. Williams was requested to handle with the Board of County Commissioners.

tofore submitted for laying the be- lance of sewer pipe now on hand , had been returned

ation date, and that if they desire to negotiate with the City for a new contract, they do
