Mr. John D. Cofer, Attorney for the proponent of the change in zoning at 1816 San Jacinto Street, plead for the change on the grounds that it would be discrimnatory to deny same, as the sale of beer has been permitted in this area for some time; and that the sale of same is essential to a successful restaurant business. He further pointed out that as this property is in a commercial area, and taxed accordingly, it would be an injustice to be denied the use of the property for this purpose, and further submitted a petition, signed by a number of business firms and residents on San Jacinto Street between Eighteenth and Nineteenth Streets, stating that there were no objections to the sale of beer at this location. Dr. F. W. Simonds, representing the Business Office of the University of Texas, opposed the change, stating that the Campus being within 200 feet of this location, it was thought to the best interests of the student body that the request be denied. Mra. M. B. Brown, representing five hundred women, opposed the change on the ground of its proximity to the University High School. Reverend W. H. McKenzie and others also objected to the change, stating that the saturation point with reference to beer and liquor stores had just about been reached; that the sale of bear at this location would greatly increase the traffic hazard on this street, which is at present badly congested; and asked that the City Council sustain the recommendation of the Board of Adjustment that the change be not granted. Rainey Dean V. I. Moore, representing the University of Texas, and Dr. Homer Price,/its President, personally, opposed the change on the grounds that it would be detrimental to the welfare of the student body and would encourage a further expansion of the liquor and beer business in the University area; and asked that the City Council refuse to grant the change, which has heretofore been denied twice 70 by the Board of Adjustment and once by the City Council. Mrs. Wende, by telephone, protested the change on the grounds that she is opposed to the sale of liquor and beer at this location, and that it will greatly increase the traffic hasard already existing there.

Councilman Wolf moved that the change in soning of the property in Isherwood Heights only, being Lots 75, 76, 77, 78, and 79, Outlot 48, Division "B", be allowed, and that the City Attorney be instructed to prepare the ordinance accordingly.
