I established in this location and that it would be a detriment to the neighborhood, 375 had a depressing effect on most people. Councilman Morgan moved that application be denied, that after a great deal of planning, time and money expended by the City for the Master Plan he thought this would be poor planning, as mortuaries were classed in a C-1 District. Motion was lost for the want of a second. The following appeared: Mrs. Gearey and Mr. Tracy were opposed. Mrs. Crippen was in favor 65 the mortuary. The letter was read by the City Clerk from Mrs. D.

Councilman Britschgi s moved that permit be granted, seconded by Councilman Holmquist. Mr. Meyerhoff wished to know if any Council member had a financial interest in the mortuary, if he would. j' have a right to vote.

MICHEL, APPEARED IN REGARD TO ABATEMENT OF 1416 Main Street. Mr. Michel thought all the work had been done as required by the Building Inspector, but it appeared there were two more ties needed which he was willing to have installed so that building would not j have to be torn down after he had spent $200 on repairs. He was willing to have building demolished after expiration of lease. If the required ties were installed the building could be used for certain occupancy according to the Building Inspector. Councilman Swift moved that Mr. Michel be allowed to complete the repairs required and offered resolution rescinding Resolution 814 which was to abate the building, resolu- tion to include approval of Building Inspector and subject to receipt of letter from i Mr. Michel agreeing to tear down the building at termination of lease, approximately one and one-half years from this date. Motion seconded by Councilman Holmquist and carried on roll call, Councilman Morgan voting No and Councilman Spillers rioted absent.
