CROCKETT reported his paying a fine for burning off vacant property in an effort to clear the land as he had been requested by the Health Department. He stated he knew of many others who had burned off their lots, but he had been the only one fined, apparently. MR. WILLIAM KIRK made inquiry about the policy relating to the use of the public library for the colored people. He stated he could not use the Public LiCITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS 578 578 brary. The Encyclopedia of Social Science is not available in the Carver Branch; and it has to be sent over by truck on demand. This method takes too much time. He mentioned the younger group did not have the teen-age book section, nor the motion pictures that are available. The Mayor advised Mr. Kirk this would be dis- cussed later and a policy set up. MR. JESSE BARTLETT appeared before the Council to secure the authority to transfer the franchise rights of the MODERN CAB COMPANY owned by Badolph Ryans to ROY'S TAXI, owned by Roy Velasquez. The City Manager stated this was a negro cab company and this transfer would take that number of cabs from the colored quota to the white. After discussion, Councilman Johnson moved that the transfer of the franchise right of the MODERN CAB COMPANY to ROY VELASQUEZ be approved. The motion, seconded by Councilman Long carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmen Johnson, Long, MacCorkle, White, Mayor Drake Noes: None MR. J. E. MCCLAIN called attention to the fact the colored cab companies were distributed in line with the population, and this transfer will take 12 cabs from the colored to the white, and the distribution would be a little off balance.

Councilman MacCorkle offered the following resolution and moved its adoption: (RESOLUTION) BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF AUSTIN: That the Council extend to Trueman E.

He joined the staff of the City as Assistant City Attorney in 1936 and was elevated to the position as City Attorney in 1939. From then until his resignation became effective on July 20, 1951, he has served the City continuously as its chief legal counsel, except for his service with the Army of the United States during World War II. His years of service reflect capable and devoted attention to duty, and a fearless effort to protect the welfare and interests of the City and its people. His advice and guidance in legal matters confronting the City have been of immeasurable value. He is held in high regard by all who know him and his work. He merits the esteem and commendation of this Council. The City Clerk is directed to record this Resolution in the Minutes of the Council, andto send a copy to Mr. O'Quinn as a lasting token of the Council's sappreciation of the service he has rendered. The motion, seconded by Councilman Johnson, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmen Johnson, Long, MacCorkle, White, Mayor Drake Noes: None CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS 519579 Pursuant to published notice thereof, public hearings were held on the following applications for change of zoning: F. J. McBRIDE 911-913 West 30th Street From "A" Residence To "B" Residence NOT Recommended by the Zoning Board of Adjust- ment. (5-21-51 & 6-11- '51) MR. HERMAN JONES represented the applicant. He stated this is a family enterprise being carried on in the home, and the application is made necessary because of the addition of the location at 911 West 30th. This would not be a commercial enterprise, the houses would still have their same appearance, and the neighborhood would not be disturbed in any way. Mr. Jones did not think the area was well suited for a strict Residential "A" zone. MR. FRANK A. REIGER speaking in favor of the change, stated the area was not a residential area any more, as there was too much traffic. He had to move away. MR. JOE TOCKER favored the change, as the neighborhood had been changed since Lamar Boulevard was built. MR. C.J.ARMSTRONG expressed his approval to the change if off-street parking were provided. MR. LAWRENCE LOONEY expressed opposition and referred to letter written by Dr. Fred M. Bullard which was read. MRS. GARLAND BARCUS, 906 W. 30th, strongly opposed the change, stating this was a residential neighborhood, and the McBrides were operating without a permit at this time in violation of the ordinance. Further opposition was spoken by MR. JOHN WEBER, 808 W. 30th, MR. JOHN C. MACKEY, 810 W. 30: MR. GARLAND BARCUS, MR. D. B. CASTEEL, 808 W. 30th, MRS. KARL SCHMIDT, 904 West30th; MRS. J. W. WHITAKER. DR. W. J. BATTLE stated he had no objections from his tenants, but was afraid this change of zoning would lead to another. MRS. H.A. BUTCHER stated she had had no complaints from her tenants. The Council took no action on this application, as some members wanted to make apersonal inspection of the property and the area. The Mayor announced that a decision would be made the following week, at 11:00 Α.Μ. MOSES J. KOURI, Adminis- trator, Jim El Kouri Estate 2516 Guadalupe St. From "C-1" Commercial To "C-2" Commercial NOT Recommended by the Zoning Board of Adjust ment (6-25-51) No one appeared in behalf of the application. MR. and MRS. W. H. MILES, MR. and MRS. MONEYHON, MRS. LAWRENCE E. STEVENSON, and DR. W.J. BATTLE opposed. The Mayor asked that those in favor of upholding the recommendation of the Zoning Board and NOT granting the change to vote "AYE"; those opposed vote "NO". Roll call showed the following vote: Ayes: Councilmen Johnson, Long, MacCorkle, White, Mayor Drake Noes: None The Mayor announced that the change was NOT granted. CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS 580 580 MR. J. CHRYS DAUGHERTY, representing Yellow Cab Company, Inc. appeared before the Council in the interest of the Airport Limousine Service. He asked that the Ordinance be amended to include picking up passengers and discharging them at other designated places--Tribune Building, State Health Department, Capitol, and other named places. COUNCILMAN LONG stated the limousine should be on a certain route. The ordinance did not say no one could be let out on this route. It is a direct route and the limousine is to oprate exclusively to down-town hotels, andit says nothing about deviating to the Health Department, Tribune Building and other places. COUNCILMAN MacCORKLE thought certain places could be designated; that he would hate to prohibit a man from getting off at some place on the route. After further discussion, the Mayor introduced the following ordinance: AN ORDINANCE AMENDING THAT CERTAIN ORDINANCE ENTITLED "AN ORDINANCE REGULATING TAXICAB SERVICES IN THE CITY OF AUSTIN AND PRESCRIBING RULES AND STANDARDS FOR THE OPERATION AND CONTROL OF SUCH SERVICES IN THE PUBLIC INTEREST: PROVIDING FOR THE GRANTING OF FRANCHISES FOR TAXICAB SERVICES AND CREATING THE TAXICAB FRANCHISE COMMISSION; REQUIRING REGISTRATION OF ALL DRIVERS OF TAXICABS; REQUIRING THE INSTALLATION OF TAXIMETERS ON ALL TAXICABS AND FIXING MINIMUM FARES; PROVIDING FOR ADMINISTRATION AND ENFORCEMENT OF THIS ORDINANCE; REPEALING ALL ORDINANCES OR PARTS OF ORDINANCES IN CONFLICT HEREWITH; PROVIDING A SAVING CLAUSE; PRESCRIBING PENALTIES FOR VIOLATION OF THIS ORDINANCE; AND DECLARING AN EMERGENCY", WHICH ORDINANCE WAS PASSED BY THE CITY COUNCIL ON JUNE 8, 1950, AND IS RECORDED IN VOLUME "P", PAGES 321 to 345, INCLUSIVE, OF THE ORDINANCE RECORDS OF THE CITY OF AUSTIN, BY AMENDING SECTION 36, SUBPARAGRAPH (b) PROVIDING FOR TRANSPORTATION OF PASSENGERS TO AND FROM THE AUSTIN MUNICIPAL AIR PORT; AND SUSPENDING THE RULE REQUIRING THE READING OF ORDINANCES ON THREE SEPARATE DAYS. Councilman MacCorkle moved that the "Tribune Building" be added to the list of the three other buildings set out in the ordinance, with the understanding that the limousines could stop anywhere on the way on the direct route. The motion died for want of a second. Councilman Long then moved to table this ordinance. The motion, seconded by Councilman White, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmen Johnson, Long, MacCorkle, White, Mayor Drake Noes: None The City Attorney was requested to write an opinion on the present ordinance regarding stopping to discharge passengers at locations other than the down-town hotels. CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS 581 581 The Mayor stated that the zoning application of MARVIN B. BRASWELL for change of zoning of his property in the 5500 block of Roosevelt Avenue, 5500 block of Grover Avenue, and 1200 block of Houston Street, from "A" Residential to "CH Commercial, advertised for public hearing on July 12th, had been postponed. Mr. Braswell would like to have his application studied by the Planning Department. It joins the School property, and MAYOR DRAKE felt it would be justified to send this request to the Planning Department. Councilman Long moved that the application of MR. MARVIN B. BRASWELL be referred to the Planning Division for study and recommendation. The motion, seconded by Councilman White, carried by the following votes Ayes: Councilmen Johnson, Long, MacCorkle, White, May or Drake Noes: None The application of THE AMERICAN-SYRIAN LEBANON ASS'N., 1621-1627 Toomy Road for change of zone from "C" Commercial to "D" Industrial was discussed. The reason for the request of change of zone was to permit a potato processing plant. The Chairman of the Zoning Board felt the ordinance should be amended to include the processing of potato chips in a commercial zone rather then requiring an industrial zone. Councilman White moved that the City Attorney be instructed to draw up an ordinance amending the Zoning Text Ordinance adding Item No. 47 toprohibited uses in "C" Commercial Zones, to include the processing of potato chips. The motion, seconded by Councilman MacCorkle, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmen Johnson, Long, MacCorkle, White, Mayor Drake Noes: None At this point, Mayor Drake asked Mayor Pro-tem MacCorkle to take the Chair, and Mayor Pro-tem MacCorkle presided. Mayor Pro-tem MacCorkle introduced the following ordinance: AN ORDINANCE AUTHORIZING GUY A.

This memorandum set out the recommendation for traffic control signals at certain locations, stop signs, no-parking-at-any-time locations no-parking 6 Α.Μ. – 7 P.M. locations; two-hour parking locations; parallel parking location; loading zone and passenger zone locations; bus stop zones; parking meter locations; speed limits; and a no-left-turn location.

The motion, seconded by Councilman White, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmen Johnson, Long, MacCorkle, White, Mayor Drake Noes: None The Finance Director discussed the recommended tax rate; calculated on $172,000,000 valuations, using a 2% increase which would require an 844 tax rate, and this would leave the close figure of $302. The City Manager mentioned the recommendation of the Board of Equalization regarding the iwentory, taking 25% off and applying a depreciation factor, stating that would amount to 14.84% reduction in the inventory assessment. COUNCILMAN MacCORKLE asked about assigning a City Attorney to the Tax Office to file some suits. The City Manager stated he was going to recommend that, but there were some problems he would like to discuss with the Council in a briefing session. The City Manager stated the recommendation of the Board of Equalization was reasonable, but its application would mean a reduction of Three and 3/4 Million dollars valuation. The Tax Assessor recommended the 25% reduction and the rate of depreciation to be as it is now. COUNCILMAN MacCORKLE made three suggestions: (1) To file more tax suits; (2) To make adjustment with personal property to put it in line with real estate; (3) To make a definite effort to get personal property on the tax rolls. COUNCILMAN LONG suggested checking the inventories. After further discussion, Councilman MacCorkle moved that the recommendation of the Tax Assessor, regarding the method of inventories and depreciation--that is a 25% discount and the depreciation schedule to remain as it is--be accepted. The motion, seconded by Councilman Johnson, carried by the following vote: CITY OF AUSTIN.

The Mayor reported a meeting with the Fire Chief and Fire Marshall, the City Manager and the City Attorney, to discuss this matter along with others, and the City Attorney was to submit an ordinance for Council discussion possibly by next Thursday. Inquiry was made about the ordinance redefining the duties of the Zoning Board and Planning Commission. The City Manager reported how this had been planned to fit into the revamping of the whole zoning ordinance, but he felt this particular part could be set up now, with the Zoning Board assigned to hear applications of variance, but not changes of zoning. He stated he would proceed with this and have an ordinance drawn up.

Brush, Purchasing Agent The motion, seconded by Councilman Johnson, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmen Johnson, Long, MacCorkle, White, Mayor Drake Noes: None Councilman MacCorkle offered the following resolution and moved its adoption: (RESOLUTION) WHEREAS, in response to invitation for bids for concrete steel cylinder pipe, bids were received from two companies as shown in the tabulation of bids attached hereto and made a part hereof; and WHEREAS, it appears that the bid of Gifford-Hill-American, Inc. on 21" pipe as a substitute for the 20" concrete steel cylinder pipe, is the lowest and best bidder and in accordance with law is entitled to an award of a contract for such materials; Now, Therefore, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF AUSTIN: That the bid of Gifford-Hill-American, Inc. be and the same is hereby CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS 60603 accepted and W. E. Seaholm, City Manager, is authorized and directed to purchase said meterials on the basis of such bid for delivery to the City at such time as he may deem necessary. (Tabulation attached) "Request for bids were made by long distance telephone, on 11,000 ft. of 20 Prestressed Concrete Cylinder Pipe, Class 150 and an alternate request was made for 20" Concrete Steel Cylinder Pipe not prestressed, Class 150. Following is a tabulation of the bids received. Material Gifford-Hill-American, Inc. Lock Joint Pipe Co. Prestressed Concrete Steel Cylinder Pipe 20 - 11,000 ft. Alternate Concrete Steel Cylinder Pipe 20 - 11,000 ft Delivery $6.92 $76,120.00 $7.20 $79,200.00 *$6.54 71,940.00 Delivery to be complete by Aug. 30, 1951. Pipe to be delivered to job site. No Bid January 1952 F.O.B. cars, Austin, Texas * The price quoted is for 21 pipe instead of 20". The change made offers a manufacturing convenience, and quicker delivery. The material for which bids have been received is to be used in the construction of a water main to Bergstrom Air Force Base to supplement the 8" line now inadequately serving the base. Our request was for bids on 20" pipe, but due to manufacturing conveniences the Gifford-Hill-American, Inc., were able to quote on 21" pipe instead at an increase of 544 in cost over the 20". This increase in size represents an increased carrying capacity of 10.5%. This increase in capacity is the approximate equivalent of adding an 8" and 20" together. The cost of 8" pipe alone is $2.14 per ft. The bid of Gifford-Hill-American is low. This company furnished us with 30" prestressed concrete cylinder pipe in 1949 and with 36" concrete cylinder pipe in 1951. We have found through our experience that this company is reliable. It is my recommendation that the alternate bid for 21" concrete steel cylinder pipe submitted by Gifford-Hill-American, Inc., be accepted. (Sgd) Albert R. Davis Supt.
