Council was called to order by the Mayor with all Councilmen present. Mrs. Gawle.y further urged the reduction of Milk licenses, and was advised that there could be no reduction this year on account of budget arrangements, and that if the ma~ter was considered at all it would have to be at the time of making up the annual Qudget. Mr. I. J. ~stes, who holds.a mortgage against the Renshaw property on East 13th Avenue for $500.00 and accrued interest, and delin~uent taxes advanced, bringing the tQtal to $805.10, suggests that if the City would throw off 50 per cent of its lie.n for assessment and accrued interest against this property that he would throw ,off a like amount on this mortgage and that ~r. Renshaw could secure a Home }4oan which would enable him to payoff all enc,umbrance on this basis. The matter was referred to the Street Committee and Attorney. A complair+t of Mrs. Hal"'ry Hook, 1579 Charnelton Street., that the pavement is low and that there is improper drainage, and tha t 'she!'doesn't feel like continuing her payments of assessments unless the City will fix up the street, was presented. Engineer Clubb explained that the grades were proper when constructed and due to the character of the soil this street had settled at this point. City Attorney Calkins explained that in his opinion any correction of the matter would be assessable to the property benefitted, and the Recorder was instructed to so advise Mrs. Hook. I Donald Husband, Attorney, appeared in behalf of the Plumbers, and asked the Council to reduce the Plumber's lice4se from $50.00 to $25.00 per year, and suggested that the los s of this reducti on could be off-se t by placing a license fee of $10.00 per year upon retailers of plumbing supplies. The matter was referred to the Sewer Committee.
