358 The City Attorney brought up the need for urgent action in connection with the tree planting project under Resolution M-15 and that the Superintendent of Parks would like to start planting trees as soon as possible. He suggested that the Superintendent of Parks be given instructions to proceed at once with the work with the idea that the necesary funds mould be advanced from the General Fund until such time as the assessments from this district could be collected. Upon motion of Councilman McCarthy, seconded by Councilman Hildebrant, it was so ordered. Ittivas informally decided in connection with the sale of property to Asa Hull that the price be made $1,250.00 according to Mr. Hull*•s understanding and the City Manager was instructed to settle the matter on that basis. Councilman McCarthy asked about the feasibility of signals at Broadway and the Railroad track suggesting a wigwag and electric bell and possibly a second train warning. After some discussion the City Manager was instructed to investigate and report back. Councilman McCarthy inquired as to the status of the papers clearing up the title to the Library property and the Attorney reported that he was attending to'it. Likewise the question of quieting title to property along the track and Mezes Plaza. Concerning the Leonard & Holt deeds, Councilman Beeger reported that it seemed rather impracticable to expect any concessions from Leonard & Bolt at the present time but recommended that the deeds for the other small parcels be accepted by the City at this time.
