There was presented to the Council the interpretation by the Attorney General of the law concerning city payment of group insurance. The City Attorney explained that certain situations would likely clarify this matter and recommended that consideration be postponed until the next meeting, at which time he would be prepared to make a definite report. On motion of Councilman Werder, seconded by Councilman McNulty, the Council concurred in the recommendation of the Planning Commission that Mrs. M. Chapman be permitted to subdivide Lot 5, Block 13, Oak Knoll Manor, into three lots, according to sketch submitted. On motion of Councilman Christensen, seconded by Councilman Werder, the Council concurred in the recommendation of the city Planning Commission that H. J. Dunlop be granted permission to subdivide a portion of Lot 14, Block 10, Oak Knoll Manor, at the northeast corner of Brewster Avenue and Foothill Boulevard, according to sketch submitted. In a letter to the Council the city Planning Commission recommended that John E. McCarthy be permitted to subdivide Lots 1, 21 3, and 4, Block 6, Central Park, at the corner of Grand and Jefferson, according to sketch submitted. It was thought possible that the adjacent property owners might consider the new alignment of lots objectionable, but Mr. McCarthy was told that I� if there be no objection on the part of the neighbors, that his request would be allowed. But if there should be any objection, a hearing in be- half of both parties would be arranged; this on motion of Councilman Edmonds, seconded by Councilman Christensen. Mr. Bernard. McCann, director of the Municipal Band, was authorized to arrange for the purchase of material and the making of a skirt for the drum majorette. Ludwig Werder was granted permission to arrange for Fontana & Company, selling "garden supplies", to construct a plant approximately 300 feet north of Rogers Street on Bayshore Highway with the understanding that no supplies would be stocked or sold until the fence should be built and painted. J. L. Flynn made complaint about sanitary conditions near Redwood Avenue and Poplar, behind the Taxaco station at Five Points. The matter was referred to the City Manager. The Attorney took up the question of Abatement Proceedings for the building at 228 Samson Street. He proceeded to question the city Building Inspector Duncan, who told the condition of the building. Robert Nweeya, the owner of the property, was present and explained that he was in accord with the desire to raze the building and that he intended to try to build there. 161
