376 Action on termite control and title to cemetery were laid over for four weeks . The City attorney also reported that he might be able at the next meeting to have something definite concerning the library property title . Mr . E . M. McGlade , representing the West Coast Advertising Company , explained that the question of granting him space had. been under consideration by the Planning Commission, but no decision had been reached , and because he had a project which had to be entered into by April 1 , he requested the Council to grant him a temporary permit at three locations . As no member of the Council seemed in- clined to grant the request , no action was taken . It mas moved by Councilman Fletcher , seconded by Councilman Christensen , that the alley in the Perry Subdivision be designated as Commercial Street , and it was so ordered with the understanding that formal ordinance would be introduced at the next meeting . Al Morton explained to the Council the proposal that had been made for the purchase of a public address system and projector , indicating the desirability of having such equipment , but also questioning whether or not the particular projector was one which the city ought to buy . It was finally decided to leave the whole matter in the hands of the City Manager and Mr. Morton to work it out for the best interests of the city . The City Manager proposed that the salary being paid to Mr . M. Counihan who works at the garbage dump be changed to $30 a month , effective April 1 . It was so ordered on motion of Councilman Fletcher , seconded by Councilman Eva. E . T . Tiernan of 1216 Roosevelt Avenue asked the Council to grant him a substantial adjustment in a water bill which , through an excessive leak , had accumulated to over $60 . It was explained that the City Manager had already suggested the customary adjustment in such cases by cutting the bill in two and offering to settle for $30 . On motion of Councilman Eva , seconded by Councilman Fletcher , it was suggested that a compromise figure of $25 be agreed upon , but the motion was lost . After further discussion , on motion of Councilman Hohn , seconded by Councilman Fletcher , it was decided to reconsider this water bill adjustment , which motion carried with Councilman Jones and McNulty voting "No" . Following this , Councilman Hohn , seconded by Councilman Eva, proposed a compromise figure of $20 in settlement of this water bill , which motion carried with Council- man Jones and McNulty voting "No " . The approved claims were ordered paid on motion of Councilman McNulty, seconded by Councilman Fletcher. Adjournment . ek■ �o c ' City Clerk BEM :HAS
