Council Chamber, City Hall The meeting was called to order with Mayor McAden presiding. Roll Call: Present: Councilmen Long, Pearson, Thompson, White, Mayor McAden Absent: None Present also: W. E. Seaholm, City Manager; W. T. Williams, Jr., City Attorney; C. G. Levander, Director of Public Works. Invocation was delivered by REV. M. H. ALLEN, First Cumberland Presbyterian Church. Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag. The Mayor announced the death of MR. ERNEST SMITH who had been with the City 32 years; also that of DR. R. L. STRUHALL. The Council stood in reverence and in honor of MR. SMITH and DR. STRUHALL. Councilman White moved that the Minutes of October 14th be approved. The motion, seconded by Councilman Long, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmen Long, Pearson, Thompson, White, Mayor McAden Noes: None MR. M. H. CROCKETT appeared before the Council in interest of the enlargement program of the University, and asked that everything possible be done to keep the University intact, and suggested certain property between the campus and Interregional Highway was most desirable and not hard to obtain. Other property to the north of the University from Waller Creek to Guadalupe would be desirable. He asked the Council to engage MR. JAC GUBBELS to make a survey of that land and present it to the University showing the acreage and cost. Councilman Long suggested that the Master Planner would be working with all agencies, and that Mr. Crockett submit this to the Chamber of Commerce. Councilman White also suggested the Chamber of Commerce as the proper channels. The Mayor announced the Council would take the matter under advisement. CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS 1081081 MR. CHARLES RAINES submitted a proposed ordinance which he believed would be very helpful in discouraging the sale of horror and obscene comic books to minors. The Mayor told him of the National movement on foot to handle this, and that Judge Murphy of New York had been appointed to set up a censorship of this type of publication. Councilman Long thought the provisions of this ordinance submitted by MR. RAINES were excellent and might be helpful while this other program was getting into shape. Councilman White wanted to wait to see what developed in the national program; and if it does not go through, then the Council can go ahead with passing controlling ordinances. REV. ALLEN, Austin Council of Churches, was against censorship, as it was not the answer. He suggested that if the news dealers got real encouragement from the community that they could inform their sources that this type of publication was not getting over, that there would be less put on the racks and offered for sale. Councilman Thompson suggested that since the City Manager is communicating with Judge Murphy's office, that the Council study this and after 10 days or two weeks, there should be a communication from this national office; and if the Council felt that results would be too slow in Austin, then it could look more into this suggestion presented here. In the meantime the City Attorney could look this ordinance over and revise it in proper form. Councilman Long suggested that this be brought up again in two weeks. MRS. CHARLES O. WEBER, SR., 908 West James Street presented a petition asking that the alleyway between Columbus and James Streets, the 900 Block, and ending on the West at the intersection of South 5th and the East at the intersection of Bouldin Avenue, be permanently opened for public use; as the alleyway now is not open to the public as there are buildings, chicken houses and debris in the alley, and it is serving as a dumping ground. She stated a petition had been filed with MR. LATSON previously. The Mayor appointed Councilmen Thompson and White to go with MR. LEVANDER to look the matter over.

She asked the City Manager to figure out how much it would cost to put this in. The City Manager stated this had been submitted to him, and he had given it some study and wanted to see further about the results. In speaking of the matter of improving collection of fines, the City Manager stated the Council, as had been suggested some time back, could increase these fines if they were not paid within three-to five days from $1.00 to $3.00.
