<br />The Street Committee submitted the fOllowing report; relative to use of
<br />Broadway Building basement for storage purposes:, ' ,
<br />"We find the premisesin question to be unoccupied and suitable for
<br />storage purposes. The entrance to the building would be on the south side of
<br />, Park street, east of Oak. This space is not utilized for private parking, and
<br />to make the building ac'cessible to large trucks and moving vans, it will be
<br />necessary to reserve not less than 40 feet starting at, a point approximately.
<br />30 feet East of Oak Street. This would involve the cutting out of approxima-
<br />tely 5 places now used for private parking. The commit'tee feels that 'the'
<br />approval or rejection of the building use as requested depends soiey on the
<br />matter of eliminating the private parking places, involved, and that with the
<br />reservatfon of the forty foot space, no additional traffic hazard wouid De
<br />caused."

<br />The following report of the City Manager was submftted and read;
<br />
<br />"Permission is requested of the Council to authorize transfer of certain
<br />36 funds within the Police Department for the remodeling, redecorating, and re-
<br />furnishing of the City Police Headquarters. Estimates on file disclose that
<br />this work can be done for approximately $1500.00. Inasmuch as an examination
<br />of the current Police budget shows a probable unused balance on Juiy 1st of
<br />$3,563.00, it is recommended that the transfer and expenditure be allowed.

<br />Appraisal of City Buidling for insuIance purposes has revelaedthat City
<br />properties have been badly underLinsured against loss based on present replace-
<br />ment values. This matter is being adjusted and proper prosisions for,insurance
