LAMAR, directing that a site for the Seat of Government be selected by certain Commissioners; and, WHEREAS, said Commissioners, in their report to President Lamar on their choice of a site, delivered April 15, 1839, said in part: "They are satisfied that a truly National City could at no other point within the limits assigned to them be reared up, not that other sections of the country are not equally fertile, but that no other combined so many and such varied advantages and beauties as the one in question. The imagination of even the romanticwill not be disappointed on viewing the sweep of the Colorado, and the fertile and gracefully undulating woodlands and luxurious prairies at a distance from it. The most and, CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS 855 855 skeptical will not doubt its healthfulness, and the citizens bosom must swell with honest pride when standing in the Portico of the Capitoloof his Country he looks abroad upon a region worthy only of being the home of the brave and the free /s/ A. C. Horton, Chairman /s/ I. W. Bunton /s/ William Menafee /s/ Isaac Campbell /s/ Louis W. Cooke 特 WHEREAS, the Honorable Edwin Waller, subsequently elected first Mayor of the City of Austin, was appointed agent to raise up a Capitol City upon this site, and the survey was commenced on May 20, 1839, and the first sale of lots held on August 1, 1839; and, WHEREAS, of the City thus established it was said that: "No new Town in this or any other country ever began its existence with a larger ratio of educated, talented and honorable men, especially young men" and the names borne by many of these are still to be found in the City; and, WHEREAS, on October 17, 1839, President Mirabeau B. Lamar of the Republic of Texas, with his Cabinet, entered and established the Seat of Government of the Republic of Texas in the City of Austin, being met with a Guard of Honor and a twenty-one gun salute: Now, Therefore, I, Tom Miller, Mayor of the City of Austin, mindful of the high purpose to which this City was dedicated by the vision and courage of its Founders, proclaim that the week beginning October 14, 1956, shall be celebrated in this City as MIRABEAU B. LAMAR WEEK in grateful memory of himself and of his illustrious colleagues. The Mayor announced that MR. M. H. CROCKETT and his son were going to present the original gun that President Lamar used, and Mr. Crockett invited the Council and people to be present in the Senate Chamber for this presentation. MR. BILL WRIGHT, Junior Chamber of Commerce, came before the Council, regarding parking. Their interest was to permit one who receives an over-parking ticket, to be required to pay only 25¢ if the ticket were paid within an hour. He believed it would help to keep the traffic moving, and yet add to better relations. The Mayor thanked the Junior Chamber of Commerce Group, and outlined the many things the group had done for the City. He stated this matter would be referred to the Police and Traffic and Transportation Departments for study and CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS 856 856 report. He outlined the study made earlier of the fines paid in other cities, and that Austin was way under, and that a slight increase in fines was made. Councilman Pearson stated in line with the idea, he had given thought to having pay-stations all over the city for the paying of the fines. The Council had before it the following zoning application postponed from last week: CRUZ GALENDO 800-810 Lydia Street 1114-1118 East 8th Street From "C" Commercial Το "C-1" Commercial NOT Recommended by the Planning Commission MR. BOB LONG represented the opposition. MRS. GUAJARDO, MRS. MAXINE LOMBARD, and another lady expressed opposition to the change. MR. J. A. RAUHUT, Attorney, represented the Pastor of the Presbyterian Church at 8th and Navasota, in opposing the sale of beer in this area. The Mayor asked the group to get together with their attorneys and petition for the area to be zoned "A" or "B" Residential, if they would like. After lengthy discussion, MR. KENNETH LAMPKIN, Attorney for the applicant, withdrew the request. MRS.MAXINE LOMBARD stated she found she was living in a "C-2" area unbeknowns to herself, made a complaint against the Shamrock Lounge and Restaurant, and filed the following two petitions to change the zone of property known as 1205 East llth Street east to 1213 East lith Street, from "C-2" to "C", (she indicated the petition was signed by people owning 50% of the property): "October 11, 1956 "To: Hon. Tom Miller, Mayor; and Members of the City Council, Austin, Texas "We the undersigned persons being residents of Austin, Texas and owning real property situated within 200 feet of real property designated by street and number as 1207 East llth Street, do hereby respectfully petition the City Council for a change of the zoning regulations prescribed for real property known as: 1205 East llth Street proceeding East to 1213 East llth Street. "The present zoning regulation in force for the above mentioned properties is "C-2" Commercial permitting the sale of and storage of, dispensing or otherwise handling of malt, vinous, and spiritous liquors for on-site of off-site consumption; and all privileges permitted under zoning effective for a "C" Commercial District and "C-1" Commercial District. "The owners of property situated within 200 feet of 1207 East lith Street, such property now being used for the sale of beer, and residents of long term by undersigned signatures do hereby request the earliest action of the City Council effecting the change herein requested. We request that the Council act within as short a time as possible for the following reasons: a. Apparently, such business known as the Shamrock Lounge and Restaurant now occupying the premises of 1207 E. lith Street opened for business on Friday, September 28, 1956. Within two days after said business opened (Sunday, September 30, 1956) CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS 857 857 a firearm was discharged on the premises at approximately 9:15 p.m. placing residents of the block in fear and apprehension heretofore unexperienced in this neighborhood. b. The owner of the property, Theodore Davis, now presently employed by the City Schools of Austin, has indicated the intention of converting the alleyway in this block by usage as a through-street and thoroughfare to provide two-way accessibility to the Shamrock Lounge and Restaurant. This has caused great concern for parents living in the block (there are approximately 28 children in this block) as many children quite frequently and especially during weekends visit with each other by taking the "short-cut" through the backyards via the alleyway. The building composition of this block is: eleven homes (llhomes) and three business (3 businesses): (1) a beauty school and insurance firm occupying one building; (2) a drug store and (3) a food and tavern shop (Shamrock Lounge and Restaurant). c. The zoning regulation for this block was changed without proper understanding on the part of the Owners. (See City Records, May, 1951). (Petition for change by J.L. Reed, 1101 Navasota Street, April, 1951). Property owners were in the belief that the change to "C-2" Commercial affected only property owned by Mr. Reed. On recommendation of the zoning board to the City Council, the entire area was changed. Residents insist that no notification of the recommendation of the zoning board was sent to them, and that first notification referred to the change requested for Mr. Reed alone.

"Noise emitting from within the premises of several taverns, juke boxes which can be heard from blocks, and bands with amplifiers which can be heard over a considerable area continue into the night and early morning sometimes and frequently until 3:30 a.m. - "This noise is unnecessary and deprives residents of their rest and protection of property from vandalism. "We prayerfully request relief from the City Council; to wit: that all noises emitting from any establishment should be confined thereto and therein." MR.
