ORAL COMMUNICATIONS
1. Mr. Olen Trevathan addressed the Council stating that he was
erecting a market on East Grand Avenue and was interested in obtaining a
25 foot strip of land from the City for parking purposes in connection with
his market. Director of Public Works Webb substantiated Mr. Trevathan's
statements, saying that the 25 foot strip of land referred to is the West 25
feet of Arena Street north of Grand Avenue between Grand Avenue and the
Pacific Electric Station grounds, which has previously been vacated; and
situated at the east edge of the Boy Scout Building. Mr. D. L. Stephens,
516 Kansas Street, corroborated Mr. Trevathan's comments and added that
since Grand Avenue at this point, is planned for a thoroughfare with no
parking on either side, the strip of land under discussion, desired to be
made into parking area, would also be available to the Boy Scouts.
After discussion, the Director of Public Works was requested to
obtain an appraisal of said property, Mr. Trevathan agreeing to pay for
said appraisal, and report at the next meeting of the Council to be held
March 24, 1958.

the City for use of the Library Park and that would have to be done before any
action could be taken.
5. Mr. Stephen B. Doss suggested that the Library Park be deeded
to the School District.
6. Mrs. Sadie Howell, 125 East Pine Avenue, addressed the Council
regarding policy of the use of City owned trucks in assisting stalled motor-
