NEW BUSINESS
Councilman Frederick brought to the Council's attention
that the Smog Control observation car has watched Standard Oil
Company smoke stacks but has overlooked the Scattergood Plant;
that he has observed smoke from the Scattergood Plant spread
over an area of about eight miles, and suggested that a letter
be directed to the Smog Control Board.stating this fact. City
Manager Sailors was requested to write such a letter.
Councilman Meschuk brought to the Council's attention the
fact that-the signal light at Main Street and Holly Avenue was
not working properly. Director of Public Works Webb stated he
was aware of the situation and had ordered a part to replace
part of the control, which should eliminate the trouble.
Councilman Meschuk stated inquiries had been made regard-
ing two -hour parking in the industrial section on Franklin
Avenue; that some of the businesses in that area were protest-
ing against employees getting tickets for parking. City Manager
Sailors stated the two -hour parking signs were reinstated after
the street improvement was completed and a survey made by the
Police Department on a door -to -door basis disclosed the fact
that nearly 80% of businesses requested the two -hour parking to
allow space for salesmen and visitors.
Councilman Meschuk stated excessive noise emanating from
the Airport was noted on the night of February 23rd. City
Manager Sailors remarked that no report on it as yet had been given
him but that he was aware of the excessive noice even at a very
late hour.
Councilman Meschuk again urged that a campaign be made to
clean up the city; that property owners for the most part, keep
their own property cleaned up, but that vacant lots, streets and
sidewalks become littered with trash, and suggested definite action
be taken to accomplish this. It was also suggested action be taken
on open trash cans to eliminate papers from being blown away.
Councilman Frederick suggested an employee from the street
department be assigned to cover the business district with hand
cart and broom, as previously done; that this service not only
helped keep the city clean but was good public relations.
Mr. Floyd Wallace stated that in his estimation, a clean -up
campaign employing anit- litter signs carrying a penalty for not
observing this precaution, would be of inestimable value to the
City, and a credit to the City Council.
No further business appearing to come before the Council
at this meeting, it was moved by Councilman Frederick, seconded
by Councilman Meschuk, the meeting adjourn, the hour of adjourn-
ment being 9:20 o'clock P.M. Carried.
