Coimcilman Basil Clark, of
fered to pay his taxes if the
city would build a road ad-;
joining his property.
Paul Dupler, city attorney,
suggested that the council
give Mayor Lee Bettinger aj
vote of confidence for the,
manner in which he has con
ducted housing negotiations
for the city.
Only one of the propositions
received the approval of the
council. It gave the vote of
confidence.
George Sonntag, command
er of the local VFW post,
presented the resolution call
ing for the club to be relieved
of paying taxes on its pro
perty. He pointed out that
the “VFW is a non profit or
ganization, that it contributes
materially to needy veterans
and their dependents.’’ He al
so stated that “most cities in
the states give service organi
zations tax exemptions.”
Councilmen Clark and Wil
liam Worth opposed the pro
position. Councilman Buck
Hoylrmn said he was sympa
thetic to the idea. Action on
the matter was held over till
the next meeting to allow the
city clerk to obtain a legal
opinion on the matter.
The Ace Cab request for an
additional parking space will
be reconsidered when the city
adopts a new ordinance
governing parking and park
ing meters. The new ordi
nance may be read for the
first time at the next regular
meeting.
The cemetery offered by]
Crutcher, and turned down
by the city, is shown on U. S.
Survey 562. It is the Russian
cemetery located at the top of
the hill on Mill Bay Road on
the same side as the ACS
property. The city council
felt that to accept the pro
perty would later create an
additional expense for the
city in the event the graves
would ever be moved.
The council, which at the
I last meeting postponed its de
I cision on hiring Dupler as
I city attorney, made up its
mind to do so Monday night.
Dupler will receive a fee of
$250 per month. His appoint
ment is effective February 1.
Other business of the coun
cil included the paying of cur
rent bills and a discussion of
repair work now being done
at the city dock. Councilman
Bud Metzgar presided' over
the meeting in the absence of
Mayor Bettinger. Councilman
L. K. Wodlinger was also ab
sent.
