<br />seconded by Councilman Spillers and carried.
<br />Councilman Granger asked if there was some solution that the Council could make and still accomplish the
<br />thinking of the people involved. He was of the opinion that Cypress Street might be considered. This was

<br />these plan lines. Councilman Granger stated that the master plan was the guide to future planning and the
<br />Council agreed with the plan at that time. Councilman Britschgi stated that the Planning Commission has
<br />asked that the Council sit down with them to go over the matters which were set by the 1944 master plan.
<br />This was followed by discussion in which Councilman Stout stated that the Council should agree with the
<br />Planning Commission and the department heads on this matter and he was going to vote against this motion.
