1 1 w Councilman Granger moved, seconded by Councilman McNulty, that the City Mana- ger be instructed to inform the new owner of the property of the proceedings against the property and to inform them that the property can not be used as a rooming house. Motion passed unanimously. Several residents. from Lincoln Street between Fulton and Hudson Streets appeared before the Council protesting the manner in which sidewalks were being laid in that district. The main objection was that no red rook cushion was being laid. -City Manager Blom advised that the specifications for this project had been.prepared.by Mr. Edwin Smith who had not provided for a cushion to be laid. This fact was over looked by the Engineering Department until after the contract was let for the job. When it was discovered, City Engineer Wilson contacted the California Paving Company who offered to add the cushion for,a� price of three cents per square foot of sidewalk, however, it was felt there was no way in which the cost could be assessed against the property due to the fact that the assessments had already been determined. It was the gen- eral consensus of the Council that cushions should be added to the job and that it was the city's responsibility to pay for the additional cost. It was brought out that the city had always demanded such a cushion under side - walks in other sidewalks throughout the city and that such a provision should have been provided in the specifications. Councilman Britschgi moved, seconded by Councilman Swift, that the City Manager be instructed to contact the California Paving Company and 'stop the present work and to draw up a new contract, if necessary, to provide for a cushion of red rook under Ahe sidewalks for the remainder of the job, the money for this additional work to come from the general fund. Motion passed unanimously. Councilman Granger asked to have specifications for sidewalks and street work submitted to the Council. City Manager Blom advised there had been no standard specifications on file but that they were slowly being developed. City Attorney McCarthy presented resolution accepting deed from Howard.Hucke and wife for property necessary for the opening of Vera Avenue. No consideration was being paid for the deed. Councilman Granger moved, seconded by Council- man McNulty, adoption of resolution accepting deed from Howard Hucke and wife to property necessary for the opening of Vera Avenue.
