Motion passed unanimously.lot c Mr. Harry Harrison asked if it was permissible to operate a cab from a residence in the,first residential district. The operator of the cab, known as the Red Top, stated he operated from down town and that the cab was parked in his driveway -only part of the day. 3 City Clerk Dodge reread letter from the Redwood Cab requesting additional permit. City manager Blom advised.that at the time the original permit was granted they were assured that if they desired an additional permit it would be r� granted them. It was after that time that instructions were given not to issue any more permits, however, it was his recommendation that the permit be issued because of the assurance given them that it would be available. It was the general conseneus of the Council that inasmuch as this company had been promised the additional permit it should be granted.

A representative of Kirkbride and Wilson appeared before the Council advising that In regard to the paving of Liguori Street in Broadway No. 3, the property t- of Oleson and Ridgeway, it -was originally intended to pave this street on private contract, however, Mr. Wilson was of the opinion that it was prefer- able to do the work under public proceedings under the 1811 Act and asked that the Council adopt a resolution of primary intention for public works so that a resolution of intention could be adopted at the next meeting. He advised that the city would be obligated to tic eway,,cinsofhiwns publication ex- penses would be concerned. Acting City Engineer Randlett advised that he had not had an opportunity to examine the amount of work to be done but that he believed it was substantially the same as the original contract. City Attorney McCarthy advised that if the resolution were adopted the amount of work could be decreased but not increased, however, he advised if the Council were in doubt he believed they should defer action. Councilman Anderson was of the !� I opinion that inasmuch as they only expense involved was that of publication which Mr. Wilson was going to pay and if the amount of work were changed it would necessitate only the republishing of the resolution he could see no objection to passing the resolution at this meeting. Councilman Anderson N� offered adoption of resolution of primary intention to do work in Broadway No. 3 , and moved its adoption with the understanding that the Council reserves the right to, withdraw its action in adopting the resolution and that Mr. Wilson pay the cost of publication. Councilman Armstrong seconded the motion and on roll oall resolution was adopted with Councilman Briteohgi and Fletcher absent.
