City Council Briefs
Mr. and Mrs. Cecil Vaughn
appeared before the City Council
concerning some land previously
leased them by the Bureau of
Land Management in U.S.S. Sur
vey 3098. Vaughn's application for
renewal of lease on lot 11 in the
survey was rejected by the Bu
reau, September 19, 1956. He had
30 days to protest, but failed to
do so.
The City sought the land as part
of an airport site. The letter,
which was read rejecting the re
newal, stated the land would be
available to the City for airport
purposes.
Despite the rejection of the
lease, the Vaughns had built a
house on the lot. After discussion,
the Council members decided that
the whole affair was between the
yaughns and the Land Office .
A letter signed by John Gibbons
and DeWitt Fields, requested con
struction of a sewer extension
from the junction of 7th and K
streets, a distance of approximate
ly 650 feet north along K street
to the apex of the drainage area.

t&at the Conner and Dyson proper
ties would be eliminated from
participation under the terms of
Ordinance No. 67, as both have
sewer services. The signatures
furnished on the petition did not
quite meet the requirements of

was sure additional signatures
could be obtained.
