sell her lot. City Clerk Dodge presented letter received from Mrs. Offerman pro- testing the resubdivision. City Attorney McCarthy advised that Mr. DePatta, the applidant for the resubdivision, had planned to be present at the meeting, however, he did not appear. Councilman Anderson expressed the opinion that he would: not be willing to vote on resubdividing the lot unless plans were submitted of homes to be built so that the Council would know there would be no detriment of other homes, which opinion was concurred in by Councilmen Fletcher and McNulty. Counci_- man Britschgi moved that the application be denied, seconded by Councilman McNult7. Motion passed unanimously. Mr. A. B. Cheatham appeared requesting that the matter of the Wings and Anchor Olub be postponed until the next meeting. He•stated that the Wings and Anchor Club com- mittee had met with the committee appointed by the Council and that he understood that City Attorney McCarthy had drafted a resolution to be adopted by the Council, however, it was necessary certain figures be received before this could be done. He believed these figures would be obtained within the'next week or ten days. Mayor Hilton advised Mr. Cheatham that the matter would be placed on the agenda of the next meeting. City Manager Mead advised that he had not received a reply, to his letter to Colonel Skeggs in regard to traffic lanes being installed at the intersections of Willow and Hazels Streets with E1 Camino Real. He advised he had written again and askei to have the matter placed on the agenda., City Attorney McCarthy advised that the Law Enforcement Mutual Aid Plan had been briefly reviewed at the.last meeting of th•e Council and further explained'that th, plan is confined to police,matters. He stated there were three motives for ren- dering aid, one region being within the county for minor disturbances, another region being for major disturbances, the region being defined by the Governor and State War Council, and another region formed upon proclamation of the governor. He stated it was entirely voluntary and that policemen could not be drawn from the county or region except in the case of a proglamation by the Governor. Council- man Granger reported that he could find nothing out of order in the plan. He stated it was up to the Chief of Police as to whether or not he could spare men except in the case of a, Governor's Proclamation. He was of the opinion that the plan was drafted for the purpose of a disaster program to take the place of Civi- lian Defense after it was disbanded.• Councilman Armstrong asked what the plan added to what municipalities would naturally do in base of an emergency. City Attorney McCarthy replied that it protects a polidems.n called to duty in an6ther city in the event he does any damage to persons or property and also entitles him to compensation in the event of injury or death. Councilman Anderson moved, sec- onded by Councilman Fletcher, that the plan be approved. Motion passed unanimous' -Y.
