ROSS BLUMENTRITT, President of the Austin Fire Safety Board, explained the organization of the Board and its purposes, and submitted a copy of the Board's Constitution. He stated their concern was to save lives and property from fire and to emphasize the ever present danger of fire, and to intensify the fire safety program. Their next project as the spring clean-up -- "Spring Clean-up, Fix-up, and Paint-up Week April 12th 18th". The Mayor expressed gratitude to the Committee and stated the Council would be glad to proclaim April 12-18 as the Clean-up Week, and that the proclamation would be brought up for next week. MAYOR MILLER asked that a Resolution honoring A. GARLAND ADAIR be drawn up for next week for the Council's adoption. MR. WAYNE BURNS, spokesman for a group of citizens owning property on South Congress Avenue, asked for the installation of a sanitary sewer lift station at the South Congress Avenue Bridge over Williamson Creek. The City Manager gave a resume of the problem as concerned those living within the city limits and those living without, and a proposition that had tried to be worked out through a Williamson Creek Sanitary Sewer District. MR. BURNS gave the status o of the district stating the expense was prohibitive. The Water Superintendent stated a lift station in this area would be $18,000 and a force main $22,000, but would not include the gravity line. He discussed future development that would need to be planned for, which would cost in the neighborhood of $100,000. The City Manager listed two possibilities at this time--(1) a small lift station that would take care of the people in the city limits ($40,000) or (2) to make the lift station large enough to include service for a great deal of territory now outside the city limits. The Council asked that further information and recommendation be brought in for study and that the matter will be brought up again in two weeks.

I reserve the small pump house and pump which I will remove from the tract to be conveyed at my own expense, as I desire to sink another well on my own premises for use in irrigating shrubs and lawns on my premises on Redwood Avenue. "Upon completion of the pending rezoning program affecting my property on Redwood Avenue, I plan to apply for a building permit from the City of Austin under which I will remove from the premises all existing commercial or industrial warehouse buildings and replace them with suitable permanent buildings of a low silhouette type. It is my purpose to erect walls, probably not exceeding 10 feet in height, with roofs of a low-pitch type. I have examined some permanent colored steel material recently employed by the City in construction of a building near the foot of Red River Street on the Colorado River and I propose to use the same or a similar type material to achieve a pleasing green color scheme. "As you know, the western part of my property on Redwood Avenue already complies with the zoning ordinance as adopted by the Council last Thursday, inasmuch as I have shrubs, lawns, hedges, and building setbacks which more than meet the standards fixed by the ordinance. "With reference to the new structures on the eastern one-half of my property (remaining after conveyance to the City of 150 feet off the east end), I plan in all respects to comply with the ordinance, including the placing of proper barriers such as hedges or fences. Since I have already started using an evergreen hedge, it is probable that I will continue this plan in order to achieve a compatible scheme. "Yours very truly, (Sgd) J. M. Boyer J. M.
