(Recommendations Attached) "Austin, Texas January 28, 1943 Mr. Walter 1. Seaholm Acting City Manager Austin, Texхня Dear Sirt We, the undersigned, have considered the application of the Salvation Army, through Harrison-Wilson Company, Agent for the building, for permission to construct and maintain a wooden stairway on the northenst corner of West 5th Street alley adjacent to the building located on the east one-half of Lot 7, Block 54, of the Original City of Austin, Texas, and locally known as 516 Colorado Street, and we advise that the following conditions exists The second story of the above mentioned building is now occupied by the Service Men's Center, operated by the Salvation Army, and at the present time has only one means of egress. The Army officials insist that another means of egress be provided and the only feasible place to erect this exit stairway would be in the alley as mentioned above. This would not cause any more obstruction in the alley than exists at the present time, owing to the fact that the light poles in their present locations extend as much as 30 inches into the alley, and the erection of a stairway 30 inches wide would not further restrict passage in this alley. We recommend that the Salvation Army be given permission to construct and maintain such outside wooden stairway in the alley arca mentioned above to extend not more than 30 inches, and which has the approval of the Army officials in charge, and that this privilege be granted for the duration of the war, or until such time when it is no longer needed by the service men while on leave in Austin. Perpectfully submitted, J. E. Hotheral, City Engineer; J.C.Eckert, Building Inspector." 1 Upon motion of Councilman Alford, the foregoing resolution was adopted by the following vote: "nyes," Councilmen Alford, Bartholomew, 011118, und Mayor Miller; "nays," none; Councilman Wolf absent.
