<br /> and the general area covered. Councilman Anderson said the Council is passing on applicants only as
<br /> citizens of the community, that the matter of approving or denying a license for a location in the
<br /> "dry zonell is a matter to be resolved between the University and the Oregon Liquor Control Commission.
<br /> Councilman Purdy commented that since both applications were for new licenses - one in the "dry zone,"
<br /> the other in a new area - he thought people in the neighborhoods should have an opportunity to be
<br /> heard. He moved seconded by Mr. Lassen to table the applications until the July 22 meeting.

<br /> license for The Ship at 746 West Park where their lease has expired is being held until they find a

<br /> seconded by Mr. McNutt to remove from the table the Hillside Tavern application. Motion defeated,
<br /> Messrs. Purdy, Lassen, and McDonald voting no. (Two-thirds required.)

<br /> the Council desires to expedite so that construction can be accomplished this summer, the bid award
<br /> and public hearing can be scheduled for the same meeting, although it will be late for this season's
<br />. work. Proposed is a meandering 20-foot paving and 3-foot sidewalk on a 40-foot right-of-way which ex-
<br /> cludes parking. Slope problems forego location of the paving on the right-of-way centerline.
<br />. Mr. Anderson moved seconded by Mr. Lassen to proceed with the proposed design, prepare plans and
<br /> specifications, and call for bids and public hearing. Motion carried.
