<br />Also I call attention to Mr. Curtaz's recent letter again calling for a resonse on the
<br />question of the water department funds and indebtedness. Mr. Curtaz has also called me over
<br />the week end and stated that he has just been given a copy of the City Manager's letter of
<br />March 22, addressed to the Council. He does not consider that an adequate reply and further
<br />indicated his feeling that any reply made should be a public statement for the benefit of all
<br />the people.
<br />I also have a letter from the city manager to the council on the same subject, dated
<br />April 4, I have made arrangements to discuss the subject with the City Manager to clarify certain
<br />points before discussing the matter in open meeting. Last but not least is the question of
<br />Rail Crossings.
<br />I believe that we should clear our decks of all these matters at the earliest practicable,
<br />so we can devote the necessary time to the very important topic of the budget for the coming
<br />year, which I believe will require considerable application if the needs of the community are
<br />to be properly financed within the presently authorized means of revenue.
<br />Louis Weiss, Councilman.
<br />Councilman Granger stated that the Sign Committee did meet and Mr. Davies asked for an extension
<br />of time until he had finished with the matter of sales tax.
<br />Councilman Granger stated that they had contacted the Southern Pacific Company about the grade
<br />crossings and to this date they have not heard from the.
<br />Councilman Spillers moved that the meeting be adjourned, to April 29, 1957, at the hour of 8:00 P. M.,
<br />seconded by Councilman Weymouth and carried.
