Roll call Present: Councilmen Bartholomew, Glass, Mayor Miller, Councilmen Thornberry and Wolf Absent : None 5 Present also: Guiton Morgan, City Manager; J. E. Motheral, Director of Public Works; W. T. Williams, Assistant City Attorney; and R. D. Thorp, Chief of Police. The reading of the Minutes was dispensed with. George W. Sandlin, Chairman of the City Planning Committee of the Austin Real Estate Board, presented to the City Council a resolution adopted by said Board at its meeting on November 12, 1946, asking that the Council consider consolidating the City Planning Board and the Zoning Board into one body, to be known as the City Planning and Zoning Board. The matter was taken under advisement, and the Mayor stated that a public hearing would probably be held before any action was taken on the matter. The application of RAY ALLEN WOLF, 1812 West 37th Street, for a taxicab driver's permit was submitted. Councilman Wolf moved that the permit be granted, conditioned upon applicant's being able to furnish bond with Insurance Company. The motion carried by the following vote: Wolf Ayes: Councilmen Bartholomew, Gillis, Mayor Miller, Thornberry, and Noes: None A large delegation of citizens, with Colonel Van M. Kennedy, as spokesman, came before the Council and presented petitions, bearing approximately one hundred and eighty-five signatures, asking that the low water bridge across the Colorado River immediately below the Tom Miller Dam, for which bonds were voted by the electorate, be included in the 1947 budget, and that the project be completed at an early date. The petitions were received, 791 CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS 791 and the matter was taken under advisement with the City Manager. Sam R. Wood, President of the Independent Grocers Association, appeared before the Council on the matter of the sale of recombined milk and stated that if the City Health Officer decides against the sale of recombined milk at this time, they are willing to abide by that decision, but declared that, if rumors were true, a lot of recombined milk is now being sold in the City of Austin and if a check were made and that were cut out, there would be a much greater milk shortage than now exists. Dr. B. M. Primer, City Health Officer, submitted the following report: "Due to circumstances beyond my control, it was impossible for me to be present at the public hearing held in the Council Chamber on November 15, 1946, at 3:00 P. M. A transcript of this meeting was obtained from the City Secretary and has been read. Since the conclusions reached at this meeting places the responsibility for deciding whether recombined milk will be used in Austin as an emergency measure upon the judgment of the City Health Officer, I would like to take this opportunity to discuss my position and recommendations. The fact that a shortage of fluid milk exists in Austin at this time was definitely shown by a chart presented to the City Council at the public hearing. In this chart it was shown that a shortage of approximately 1800 gallons existed between the actual production of fluid milk and the nutritional requirements based upon 6 pt. per capita. This estimate of nutritional requirements is not an official basis but was suggested as a compromise figure from nutritional standards, which state that it is desirable for all people to consume at least one pint of milk per day. In May of this year an estimated need of a minimum amount of fluid milk of approximately 7,000 gallons a day was made and was based on the minimum requirements in the hospitals, nursing homes, university students and individual needs of babies and small children. This estimate was made with the knowledge that evaporated canned milk of known quality and safety was available for sale in the stores of Austin and that judiciously used could supplement the short milk supply. 'Although the milk produced in this area has now dropped below the figure shown on the chart from 9810 gallons a day to approximately 8,000 gallons a day, it has not yet reached the figure where I would feel justified in invoking the emergency clause of Section 8-a of the Austin Milk Ordinance. 'With the possibility that it may become advisable to permit the use of "Ungraded Recombined Pasteurized Milk" as an emergency measure in the City of Austin, a careful check of its use in other cities in Texas was made. A review of the literature on the chemical, bacteriological and biological aspects of recombined milk shows that it is possible with proper inspection and supervision to produce a recombined milk that will meet the bacteriological and chemical standards as set forth in Section &a of the Austin Ordinance. I have been unable to find any reports of outbreaks of disease proven to be due to the use of this product. " 792 CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS 792 In answer to Mr. Wood's remarks concerning rumors of recombined milk being sold in Austin, Dr. Primer stated that he had heard these rumors but that all attempts to determine if recombined milk was being produced and sold had shown that no recombined milk was being produced. Councilman Glass asked Dr. Primer if it would not be possible for all of the inspectors to be in the plants for a period of two weeks and stop this practice, if it existed. Dr. Primer replied that this had been done before and it had been found that no recombined milk was produced during that period. Councilman Glass then asked Dr. Primer if the shortage of milk in Austin was not intensified during that time Dr. Primer replied that it seemed to him that the shortage was increased during the period of intensified inspection. Dr. Primer stated that if we are to be sure that no recombined milk is being produced or sold in Austin, it will be necessary to institute one of two courses; (1) to change the ordinance so that Grade A milk or milk products will not be processed or bottled in the same plant with ungraded milk, and (2) to put additional inspectors on so that continuous inspection can be had in all plants for at least sixteen hours a day. Councilman Glass suggested that ungraded products received in the pasteurizing plants be sealed by the city inspectors and not used in the making of recombined milk, except in the presence of inspectors from the Health Department. Dr. Primer accepted this recommendation and stated that he would get in touch with the plants immediately to put this plan of enforcement into effect. It was then declared to be the sense of the Council that the City Health Officer be instructed to make every effort to insure production and distribution of Grade A products, and, if necessary, to employ the bonding procedure to insure that no recombined milk will be sold in the City, the owners of the various plants in Austin being required to file bond and make statement that they will not manufacture or sell recombined milk in the city limits. M. H. Crockett came before the Council and complained of the following matters: (1) failure on the part of the City to build a sewer line along Riverside Drive, for which his check in the amount of $700.00 has been on deposit with the City for six months; and (2) failure of the City to open a street just south of 30th Street on the west side of San Jacinto Boulevard, for which he had given the City a deed. Both matters were referred to the Director of Public Works for attention. M. H. Crockett also voiced disapproval of the proposal to combine the Zoning Board and the City Planning Board, declaring that he wanted to see all of the powers of the City Council retained in that Body and not delegated to bureaus. C. Ben Hibbetts came before the Council and presented an appeal in writing by himself and Richard G. Avent from the action of the Building Inspector in denying them a permit to build two student veteran bachelor apartments at 2505-07 San Gabriel Street on the grounds that it was in violation of the Zoning Ordinance. The matter was taken under advisement to determine what can be done about it. 792 CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS 793 A letter from the Austin School Board, requesting that $1,250,000.00 of School Bonds be sold to finance the first part of their building program, was received. The City Manager advised the Council that this matter was included in the Budget for 1947.
