A C Mayor Lambert reported that the committee on re -assessment of acreage within the City had gone into this matter but was not ready to report definitely at this meeting. However, he stated that a complete report would very likely be ready by the second meeting in March, March 18, at which time the matter could be taken up. Wayne R. Millington addressed the Council concerning the desirability of a soft ball diamond for those who wish to play at night and advocated some arrangement to have such a diamond lighted. Paul Lowe followed presenting Resolution from the Fraternal Order of Eagles petitioning the City to install lights for a doft ball field. Roy Hohberger, Y.M.C.A. Secretary, outlined the acti- vity among the men of the community, also asking if something could be done toward lighting such a field. It was admitted that it would be inconsistent to place any such equipment on the High School grounds, but that perhaps it could be handled on the newly acquired Horace Hawes Park site. It was finally decided that a committee consider what could be done and work with the City Manager toward that end. The aforementioned speakers were asked to serve with Councilman Eva, Christensen and Fletcher on said committee. Walter Noble, representing the Peninsula Stores, Ltd., asked the Council if something could be done toward a Sunday closing ordinance for stores. He was assured that the Council looked with favor upon -such, a proposal. It was intimated that the Chamber of Commerce was working on the same project so the matter was deferred until the representatives of the Chamber of Commerce reported. W. L. Cavanaugh, Agent for the Pacific Greyhound Lines, explained that he had opened an office at_ 767 E1 Camino Real and requested permission to place a bench or seat on the sidewalk in'',.front of the office and that an extra place on the highway be reserved as a stopping place for the busses., Permission, in line with his request, was granted on motion of Councilman Fletcher, seconded by Councilman Eva.
