HAROLD LLOYD, 515 Palm Avenue, was present, and asked the
Council to reconsider the charges made on sewer connections
to his property on Palm Avenue. Mr. Lloyd stated that originally
the amount was S170.00 and at that time he was not in the po-
sition to hook up; then the charge was increased to 3340,00;
and today he found that there had been a charge of S680.00 for
his connections. Mr. Lloyd said he felt that reconsideration
should be given. ENGINEER McCLURE said that Mr. Lloyd's prop-
erty is 93 feet wide, extends a full block, has a private road
from Palm Avenue to "Q" Avenue,
The property is divided into
two pieces consisting of eleven houses. ten rentals and Mr.
Lloyd's home. Mr. McClure stated that it was the opinion of
the Sewer Committee that it could be easily divided into four
pieces 46e feet wide and one-half block deep, and for that
reason Mr. Lloyd should be assessed for four sewer charges.
Mr. Lloyd stated that the property could never be satisfactor-
ily divided into four portions; the best is two, four or pos-
sibly six houses facing PQ" and possibly 5 facing Palm; and no
reason for four charges on that basis. COUNCILMAN.MATTHEWS
asked Mr. Lloyd if he was having any trouble now that he had
to hook up right away and Mr, Lloyd stated "yes". COUNCILMAN
CURRY asked if the City Engineer had gone over the property
thoroughly. Mayor Fritz stated that not only had the Engineer
been over it but the entire Sewer Committee; and the thing
considered was the eleven houses for four sewer charges. If
there were different owners for each house each one would be
charged S170.00. Mr. Lloyd may sell out and some other person
9/6
66
would subdivide it, and it would be possible to do so. The
Committee felt the charge was equitable.
MAYOR FRITZ announced that it was 8:00 P.M. o'clock and the

garbage to her chickens and puts the cans in the orchard for
drainage. She said that compulsory law is good for some and

could not be flexible. Mayor Fritz said that surely if people

states she lives off her garden, not out of cans. Communication
from Supt. of Sanitation Mikkelson in regard to Mrs. Kirroin's
letter, was read. The letter stated that Mr. Mikkelson found
that she did have chickens, also that she had an incinerator
and has been using it up to the present time. Her garden

and some bean plants, definitely not enough to live on. Mrs.

of the car and that Mr. Pratt has cooperated very willingly.
Mr. Jensen said a low wire fence would catch most of the rub-
bish. Mayor Fritz asked if Mr. Jensen would suggest we close
Keith's: we have had very few complaints about Keith's. Mr.
Jensen said that he did not say that Keith's should be closed,
but that nothing has been done about cleaning the streets.

desire of the Council should be known. Joseph M. Alotta,. 419
Palm Avenue, stated that he was going to serve -Italian foods
and that people like a little beer to drink with their meals.
He said he intends to live above the place and he would not
make a nuisance out of it. Chief Bates said that with an on
9/6

sale beer license this could become a beer °joint"; and he
thought we should not have one in a residential area. He said
he checked with some of the psople in the neighborhood and
they were opposed to having bee:.• sold in a residential area.
If a beer license is granted then the place can turn into a
beer saloon. Moved by Adams, seconded by Thatcher, that Chief
Bates' recommendation be accepted and that he be instructed to
appear at the hearing and protest. Carried, all Councilmen
present voting aye.

and is now ready for adoption. J. R. HARVEY was present and
stated that if the Charter is accepted, there 19 one point that
e, number of the people do not like; namely this, the appointment
9/6
77
of two Councilmen by the Council, He said that if the people
voted for the charter in November and it passes the Legisla-
ture, it would go into effect sometime in January making it
necessary to appoint two Councilmen for approximately two
months instead of the Councilmen being elected by the people.
Mr. Harvey said that at the last meeting of the Citizens Com-
mittee they voted against this; they wanted the charter, if
passed, to become effective on the second Tuesday in April.
COUNCILMAN ADAMS stated that officially we have not been noti-
fied by the committee. Mr. Adams said that the Charter was
turned over to this committee and when they came back with
their recommendations the Council accepted them in good faith.
ATTORNEY CAMPBELL stated that making the Charter effective in
April would not help matters since it is necessary to publish
the notice of election not less than 91 days before the elec-
tion for sixth class cities. COUNCILMAN MATTHEWS asked Mr.
Harvey if he thought the committee would work for the charter.
Mr. Harvey said he could only speak for himself; that he is for
the charter and wants to see it pass. COUNCILMAN MATTHEWS
asked the Council if they felt the charter has a good chance of
passing with the little time we have to spend on it; he said
he was doubtful if we can educate the people in so short a
time. ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICER DICKSON said that we have enough
copies of the charter along with a letter to be mailed to every
householder in National City. Mr. Dickson said even if we had
a year to present this to the people it would not make very
much difference, it is the confidence the people have in the
Council and in the Committee that counts. COUNCILMAN MATTHEWS
said that if we do not give the pople time enough to study the
Charter it may be voted down. COUNCILMAN ADAMS said it would
9/6
78
be the first time National City has home rule. The charter
requires political salesmanship.
