LLOYD P. HUDSON was present and stated that he would like the
Counoil to make a study of the traneite pipe which is being
used in the City of National City for sewer laterals. He
stated that the City of San Diego and the County of San Diego
will not allow it to be used. He brought a sample of traneite
pipe which he claimed showed the effects of sewer gas in the
lateral. He said that he would like to see the City use cast
iron pipe as that would make a life time job. Mr, Hudson
introduced MR. SHATZ of the San Diego Merchant Plumbers Assn.
who also stated that his recommendation was the same as Mr.
Hudson's; the use of cast iron pipe in place of transits pipe.
BILL NESBITT of Johns -Manville was present and stated that
they do not recommend transite pipe from the septic tank to
the main sewer, but they do recommend it to be used from the
house to the sewer. Transits pipe is approved all over the
U. 8. as a house connection pipe, one reason is that it goes
together faster and another is that there are no joints where
water can Beep through. He recommended the use of transite
pipe.
MAYOR FRITZ announced that it was now 8:00 P.M. o'clock and the
time for opening of Bids.
BIDS on an air compressor were read as follows: Shaw Sales &
Service Co., for one Schramm Portable Air, Compressor, $2,432.28
including State Sales Tax; Crook Company, one Sullivan -Joy
Air Compressor, $2,430.00 including 3% California Sales Tax
and Federal Excise Tax; Hudson -Tucker, Inc., for one Worthing-
ton Air -Cooled Portable Compressor, $3,031.29, including 3%
State Sales Tax. SUPERINTENDENT OF STREETS FINNERTY was present
8/16
41
and stated that the Sullivan Air Compressor which the City
has had has given very good satisfaction. Moved by Adams,
seconded by Matthews, that Administrative Officer Dickson be
authorized to purchase one Sullivan -Joy Air Compressor from
Crook Company in the amount of $2,430.00 leas Federal Excise
Tax. ,Carried, by the following vote to -wit: Ayes: Adams,
Curry, Matthews, Thatcher, Fritz. Nays: None.
BIDS ON LATERAL SEWER CONNECTIONS ON HIGHLAND AVENUE were read
as follows: Carroll & Foster, 186.08 per house connection;
Charles J. Dorfman, 1180.00 per house connection; W. F. Nelson
Co„ ;3.30 per Lineal Foot. COUNCILMAN CURRY stated that he
thought the use of transits pipe should be given further study
and lay this over until the next regular meeting night.
COUNCILMAN ADAMS stated that he thought we should accept one
of the bide; that we must rely to a very great extent on the
City Engineer and we could leave it up to City Engineer McClure,
Supt. of Streets Finnerty and Administrative Officer Dickson
as to the kind of pipe to be used. MAYOR FRITZ stated that
if some other pipe was used it would possibly change these
bids. A representative of Carroll & Foster was present and
he said it would not make a great deal of difference in the
price, possibly around 50 cents more a lateral, and not over
75 cents. COUNCILMAN CURRY said that if tnansite pipe is not
practical for house connections,, why don't we change our
Ordinance authorizing the use of cast iron pipe from the lateral
to the house. ADi1INISTRATIVE OFFICER DICKSON stated that this
was changed some years past; that, cast iron pipe must be
carried 5 feet outside the house and from there on use vitrified
or cast iron pipe. ENGINEER McCLURE said that the only
thorough test we could run was to put it in the ground and
8/16
42
wait twenty years; and that there are many contractors Who
maintain that transite pipe has been in for twenty some odd
years and that it has caused no trouble. MR. McCLURE said
that he believed that in the City limits of National City
transite pipe le entirely satisfactory for house connections.
COUNCILMAN MATTHEWS asked if the bid could be let to the
lowest bidder but hold up the decision for another week as to
the kind of pipe to be used. ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICER DICKSON
said that there were several factors which were favorably in
using transite pipe, the speed with which the pipe goes to-
gether, there is flexibility and does not crack the joints
and stops a lot of the leakage.
RESOLUTION NO. 5028 was re ad, accepting the bid of W. F.
Nelson Co. CO $$3.30 per lineal foot for the lateral sewer con-
nections on Highland Avenue, the type of pipe to be installed
to be designated by City Engineer McClure, Street Supt. Finnerty
and Administrative Officer Dickson; making a supplemental
statement and authorizing Mayor Fritz to sign the contract.
Moved by Adams, seconded by Thatcher, that the Resolution be
adopted. Carried, all Councilmen present voting aye.

Mr. Campbell seid Yie could see no necessity for the closing;
it wculd not benefit the public, it was just a private gain.

Avenue had been closed from 23rd to 24th Streets. Attorney

23rd and 24th Streets. Mr. Bowers, owner of the new Subdivision
stated that by closing "M" Avenue they propose to run a Street
the other way, putting in curbs and improving the streets.
Mr. Campbell said that the proposed street goes right up the
middle of the Subdivision and they would still lose two lots
under their proposed plan. Mayor Fritz aakad how the people
eflld get out if "M° Avenue was left open. Mayor Fritz said
that Roselawn Street would be the only through street between
18th & 24th Street. Councilman Thatcher said that the only
people who would be penalized would be the people between 23rd
& 24th St. Councilman Adams stated that he felt the recommen-
dation of the Planning Commission to be the basis to go on;
they make a thorough study of the planning of the City and the
Commission was set up to take care of such matters. Council-
man Curry asked what year the first house was built between
23rd & 24th Streets and he was informed that it was built 12

residential section and not business. GEORGE GUNNETTE, JR.
1314 Palm Avenue stated that he did some repair work for
himself on,his own property and the work had no bearing on
the garage, but he said he made no unnecessary noise and he
did not believe it affected any of the neighbors. MR. GUNNETTE
said that he wished to obtain a permit to operate just a
small repair shop, to do a little work for friends; he was
not able to work for anyone else because of his age and health,
but still needed some income, and that he would not make a
nuisance of the shop, keep it quiet as possible and do no
advertising. H. F. KATES, 1420 Palm Avenue stated that Mr.
Gunnette might be a good neighbor but he could Bell his place
to someone else who would use it for a business. COUNCIDLAN
MATTHET•rS stated there are about five miles of business zoned
areas in National City. COUNCILMAN CURRY said that Mr.
Gunnette's garage is in a R-1 Zone and he felt we should be
