Mayor Selby explained to Mr. Oakes that he had taken Mayor Poulson to the airport and had explained to him the nature of the complaints heretofore registered with the City Council with respect to the matter, and Mayor Poulson had agreed to make an investigation thereof and following such investigation the City would be advised of what action, if any, might be taken. Mayor Selby stated that he was, therefore, unable to make a report on the matter at this time but agreed to advise residents in the area of East Acacia Avenue the out- come of the conference. REPORTS OF STANDING COMMITTEES Public Service Commissioner Baker reported that on Tuesday, September 15, 1953, Councilman Swanson had called him with reference to a building which is being erected'at the corner of Penn Street and Walnut Avenue by some teen- agers for a playhouse and that the Building Inspector had informed the persons building such structure that it would have to be taken down; that he had looked into the matter, in view of the fact that he believes youngsters should have a playhouse if they so desire. Councilman Baker stated, however, that after viewing the structure he can understand why neighbors are complaining; that the structure is 9 -feet high and approximately 8 -feet by 10 -feet, made of scrap lumber, three sides of which are cardboard; that it is built on the front yard line and is definitely an eyesore and a fire hazard; that consequently he agrees with the Building Inspector that the structure should be removed. Mr. Carl Eaton, who was present in the Council Chamber, stated that it was directly across the street from his premises, is a monstrosity, and the neighbors are very unhappy about the situation. Councilman Swanson stated that the mother of one of the boys building the structure had called him following the order of the Building Inspector that the building should be torn down, and he had agreed that they might await several days following a more thorough investigation of the matter; however, after an inspection of the building by him, he was also in agree- ment with the Building Inspector. Thereafter, the matter was referred to the Building Inspector to follow through and see that the building is removed. Public Safety Commissioner Swanson reported he had requested the Chief of Police to check with the Police Chiefs of eight surrounding communities to ascertain how said communities might have handled a matter similar to that which occurred recently in the City of E1 Segundo when a pistol being used by Officer Jack Partlow in target practice had exploded in his hand; that such investigation shows that none of said communities have ever had a similar occurrence. Public Safety Commission Swanson further stated that he finds the pistol might be repaired at a cost of approximately $20.00 and he recommended the -5- V 585 City pay the cost of repairing the gun or pay that amount toward the purchase price of a new gun by Mr. Partlow. Following further discussion, by general consent, the matter was referred back to Commissioner Swanson for further investigation and report.
