MR. GEORGE SANDLIN, with C. D. WILSON and D. L. WELCH, appeared before the Council asking that it consider the postponement of the Austin Housing Authority's building program; that since the time it first came up, there have been regulations by the Government curtailing the construction of private homes. He stated more curtailment in building was yet to come and he urged the Council. to consider the postponement of the building program. MR. W. H. BULLARD, First Austin Investment Corporation, stated that private building was being held up also because of lack of pipes, etc., and their program was practically out. He asked also that the Austin Housing Program be slowed down or completely stopped; as the Housing program was only to apply to supplying homes when private enterprise could not, and that the Housing program should be suspended until the time its functions were needed. MR. FRED MORSE stated he was in favor of clearing the slums, but did not feel that the government should step in. He stated that with world conditions as they are and defense spending as necessary as it is, he could not see spending this money in competition with private enterprise. Mr. Morse felt this housing programshould be postponed until condi- tions warrant such a program. MR. W. E. BIGGS, President of Austin Home Builders' Association, stated his group felt the same way about the program. MR. JOE HILL pointed out certain provisions of the resolution adopted by the Council on April 27, 1950, whereby when the 520 units were built, 520 slums would CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS 940 940 be cleared. He stated the Council by adoption of this resolution was duty bound: to suspend the action of the Housing Authority until the contract with the citizens was carried out. MR. HERMAN JONES spoke stat ing the Housing Act of 1949 took care of the situation with regard to war conditions or economic conditions, and if it were determined not to be in the interest of public welfare andcontrary to the war effort, the program would not go on. He invited citizens to attend the Board meetings of the Austin Housing Authority. MAYOR PRO-TEM DRAKE thanked the group for coming up and stated the Council would discuss this further. Later in the meeting, in a brief discussion, the Council indicated it would like to have a meeting with the Housing Authority, and also see just how far the contract with the Housing Authority extended. The City Attorney was instructed to check into this. In the discussion of the Housing Building Program, Mayor Glass entered the Council Room, and at this point took the chair. Councilman Johnson moved that the City Council go on record as favoring the three major projects which the Mayor had suggested as first to be considered: water, sewer, and the bridge. Other members of the Council stated they would like to study over the whole program. Councilman Johnson then withdrew his motion. Councilman Long made inquiry about the report on the box houses in the 3600 block of East 17th Street, which had been called to the Council's at tantion the previous week. The City Manager reported that he had inspected them personally and they were better houses than most box-houses; they were being wired, and were to have bathrooms installed; and they are to be painted and will meet the City requirements. Councilman Long asked if they were spaced correctly on the area or if they were crowded. The City Manager stated they were correctly spaced. Councilman Long asked if the building code could be rushed up. The City Manager stated the Building Code Committee was working on this; and it was a major job and took a lot of detailed work. Councilman MacCorkle offered the following resolution and moved its adoption: (RESOLUTION) WHEREAS, on or about the 13th day of March, 1930, Augusta L. Wende and husband, John C. Wende, and Emma L.

THRASHER, represented opposition to this change, and stated the property on Longview Street held deed restrictions as to where it could not be used as the applicants desired.

Councilman Long submitted the following proposition on a paving policy, which she wanted the Council to study and the City Manager to check and report back to the Council. She stated it would be well to have a policy set out before the City went into the spending of the bond money. The proposed policy is as follows: CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS 944 944 A PROPOSED PAVING POLICY FOR THE CITY OF AUSTIN TO GOVERN NEW PAVING EXPENDITURES UNDER THE 1950 BOND PROGRAM 1. Continuation of the assessment-type paving program, with the City paying 20% of the cost of paving, plus 100% of the cost of intersections, and with property-owners to continue to be responsible for curbs and gutters. 2. Reduction of interest rate to 4% (now 5%), with the City investing its pension reserves in paving notes and permitting paving payments to be made monthly on water and light bills. 3. Administrative costs of paving contracts to be reduced by having City personnel, assisted by neighborhood civic clubs, get all the papers signed. 4. Adoption of three grades of paving: a. Residential -- light permanent paving. b. Light business Approximating the present all-over grade. c. Thoroughfare or heavy commercial. 5. Standard width of streets for which property-owners will be responsible to be 30 feet in residential areas and 50 feet in commercial or industrial. When the City feels that a residential or commercial street should be made a thoroughfare of 50 or 60 feet, the added cost for that added width should be borne by all the taxpayers of the City, through 100% City payment from bond funds. 6. Requirement that sub-dividers, as a part of their application for approval of their subdivisions, agree to pave the streets to standards set in Proposal 4, with the City Manager designating which streets are to be (a), (b) or (c)-type paving, and with the City sharing on thoroughfares. 7. Levelling and smoothing of all railroad crossings in the City, with total costs to be assessed against the railroads as provided in the City charter. 8. The next assessment program to include the filling of all gaps or skips in existing permanent paving, at 100% assessment, if possible, since City has already paid its share of the costs of these streets, and so have adjoining property-owners. 9. Permit property-owners to chosse 3,5,7 or 10-year pay-out periods on paving notes. 10. Preparation of a folder outlining clearly the City paving policy as: adopted by the Council and the procedure for getting streets paved. Folder to be distributed to all residents with water and light bills, so all will have an equal chance to get their streets improved. 11. Working out, after a study by school and traffic officials, a sidewalk assessment program on the routes to all Austin schools which do not now have sidewalks in their areas, and permitting payment for the sidewalks under the same terms as provided for paving. 945 945 CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS A discussion was held on this question, particularly to the financing of the paving program. It was stated the banks were checking to see if they could work out something on a revolving fund plan. Other plans were suggested, such as paving on a refundable contract basis. The discussion was brief, and the matter was to be studied and discussed at a later date. The Council received a report from the City Manager that the following applications for change of zoning had been referred to the Zoning Board of Adjust- ment for consideration and recommendation: C.
