The matter was taken under further advisement by the Council. Harold Johnson appeared before the Council and requested additional parking space at his golf course on the Butler tract abutting the Barton Springe Road. The matter was referred to the City Engineer for investigation and report to the Council. The Mayor announced the public discussion on the proposal to grant a permit to M. H. Crockett for an amusement park on his property abutting the Barton Springs Road, open. M. H. Orockett and P. L. Bible, lessee, spoke in behalf of their application, and submitted three petitions, signed by the business firms in that vicinity, favoring the project. Ed Clark, verbally, and the Austin Defense Recreation Council, by letter, protested the matter if the project is to be in the nature of a carnival, but withdrew such objections if same is to be devoid of gambling devices. Following the discussion, the City Attorney was instructed to prepare an amendment to the Carnival Ordinance which would exclude amusement parke from the category of carnivale, and submit such ordinance to the Council for consideration at the next regular meeting.
