Downes Gets
Council Seat,
Lack Quorum
For the first time in over a month,
there are six members on the city
council but it still was impossible
to hold a meeting Monday.
Thomas K. Downes, credit mana
ger for the Northern Commercial
company, was appointed Friday eve
ning to fill the vacancy left by
the resignation of Byrori A. Gil
lam. When Downes was unanimous
ly elected after being nominated by
councilman Ben Potter, the council
harbored some hope that the quor
um problems that have been plagu
ing that body for over four weeks
had finally ended.
There was no quorum at Monday's
meeting. Downes had told the coun
cil that he would be out of town
Monday night and could not attend.
Another councilman, Ted Mainella.
has been in the States for several
weeks and is not expected to return
for some time. And. when George
Sullivan was unexpectedly called
out of the city, all hope of a council
session W'as called off.
An emergency meeting had been
held Friday, and no urgent business
was on the agenda. At Friday’s
meeting the council approved the
loan of $100,000 from the sales tax
fund to the general fund for the
operation of city activities.
The council refused the sale of
Weeks field land to two Fairbanks
realty dealers pending the phrasing
of a deed which will not allow the
ground to be used "for speculative
purposes."
After 20 minutes of hot debate,
the council decided not to raise the
speed limit on Airport road be
tween Giflam and Cowdes from 15
to 25 miles per hour at times when
school is not in session. The lengthy
city ordinance drawn up by Eugene
Miller, city attorney, was rejected.
The city solons tabled a petition
from the school board asking the
city to vacate Turner street be
tween Eighth and Ninth avenues,:
directly behind the Main school.
In other action the city fathers
approved the rezoning of the block i
between Hall and Dunkel streets
and Fourth and Fifth avenues, in
accordance with a recommendation
from the Planning and Zoning
Commission. The block was changed
from residential to multiple resi
dential.
The 16th of August is the deadline
for purchasing automobile stickers
in place of receiving a city tax
assessment, the body announced,
MRS. MORRIS, SON, HERE
