RECREATION COMMISSION INFORMED THE COUNCIL that Teen Age Center was, established two years ago and procedure for use of revenues from the concessions was adopted with the ap- proval of the Center Committee appointed by the Mayor. Revenues were used for the betterment of the Teen Age Center. The Recreation Center now serving the same pur- pose is'located on City owned property, and it was thought that if this procedure should continue it should again have the approval of the City Council. Councilman Granger directed question to City Attorney Currie whether monies could be collected by any department without turning in according to the Charter. City Attorney Currie stated all monies were to be turned into the City Treasury. Red Morton stated that money was taken in for coke, candy and cards. The teen age group sent three children and one adult down to Asilomar on money received and stated the City Treasurer would be issuing checks for coke and candy, etc. Councilman Granger thought that according to the Charter there was no choice in the matter. Councilman Morgan suggested that if money was turned in by this group to the City Treasurer, that a check be issued in same amount for general expenses. Councilman Britschgi moved that this be referred to City Attorney Currie, Auditor Brophy and Recreation Department, that there might be a little misunderstanding with the teen age group as they were an organization iwthin an organization, bought their own cards, etc., and with a little more study something might be worked out.

The base z rock could be put in and sealed before the rains and if 120 days were given this { would take until the middle of•the winter and it would be better to wait to complete the job in the spring. He, therefore, suggested that a 60 day extension be granted } from the date of the last extension, October 1,-1948 which would be November 30, 1948. Councilman Spillers so moved, seconded by Councilman Britschgi. Motion carried. REMOVAL OF POLES ON JEFFERSON AVENUE BETWEEN BROADWAY AND MIDDLEFIELD ROAD.
