Reduction of speed limit on East Cleveland Blv
Mayor Smith announced that he had had a discussion with the Chief of Police regarding City speed
limits and with the increaas in construction on East Cleveland Boulevard, he thought the Council ebould begi:
to think of reducing the speed limit from 50 to 35 miles per hour beginning at This Way Avenue; that this
would need to be taken up with the State Highway Department and he would request authorisation from the
Council for making application to them in this regard.
In answer to the question by Councilman Luby, Chief of Police Charles Astleford stated that this
portion of Highway used to be 35 miles per hour all the way from the City Limits and the City had requested
of the State that the 35 mile per hour speed limit begin at about Georgia or Maple Avenue, however, since
272
that time there were approximately ten new businesses beyond this point and in order for their customers to
get out onto the Highway safely, it would be hie recommendation, due to the congestion, that the speed 31mi
in this area be reduced to 3$ miles per hour.
Councilman Davenport commented upon the danger when automobiles reduced speed on the Highway
preparatory to approaching any particular business in this area.
It was moved by Councilman Vassar, seconded by Councilman Davenport that the Mayor be authorized
to apply to the State Highway Department for a reduction in the speed limit in the area designated. A vote
was taken and it appeared that the motion unanimously carried.

�e
Mayor Smith reported that the City now had only a thirty foot right- of-way here through annexation
and that this matter had been discussed with the City Engineer.
City Engineer Mel Lewis informed the Council that should this property be vacated as requested,
it would be a compromise with Mr. Dunlap and in the event the City should, at Soma future date, obtain the
other twenty five feet, there would atilt be a fifty foot right -of way for the street.
It was then moved by Councilman Vassar, seconded by Councilman Davenport that the City Attorney be
authorised to prepare the proper Ordinance for hearing. A vote was taken and the motion unanimously carried
Removal of Street Baricads on Morrison
Councilman Vassar informed the Council of a thirty foot right- of-way on Morrison Street which had
been used for several years but that it seemed that upon complaint to the City, the street department had
put a baricade on one and; that when this happened, there were a lot of people effected so he had been out
there several times looking it over with several of the other Councilmen. He said that he thought something
should be done about it due to the fact that the street had been there some thirty or forty years with one
property+a garage being built so that, if the street was opened to the standard width, it would be in the
street and that some of the property was just about the sane way on the other side. He said that only about
half of the street was available for use in that the Porters wouldn't give the other half of the right -of.
way.
Councilman Vassar continued by swing that the City only had a half a street running West on
Morrison from Parker Avenue and that he understood that the other half could be obtained; that he was in
favor of recommending to the Council that the thirty foot portion of Morrison Street be opened as it was now
from South Kimball Avenue to Parker Avenue contingent upon arrangements for sufficient right-of-way for a 60
foot street from Parker Avenue to Sunset Avenue on Morrison Street.
In answer to the question, Mr. Loop who was present, stated that this was agreeable with him pro-
vided the City maintained Morrison Street.
Mayor Smith explained to Mr, hoop that the City hadn't maintained Morrison Street in the past due
to the fact that the City had never accepted it as a Street because of the width.
275
It was than moved by Councilman Vassar that, subject to the City obtaining a full sixty foot ri
f-way for Morrison Street between Parker and Sunset Avenues, an exception to City Policy be made with
brrison Street between South Kimball Avenue and Parker Avenue in that it be accepted and maintained as a
street in its present width of thirty feet. The motion was seconded by Councilman Martin. A vote was taken
and the motion unanimously carried.
It was pointed out that the meaning of maintenance would be grading and gravelling by the City,
rot oiling. Some brief discussion followed when Mr. Roy Roark inquired about opening some other streets in
,he vaoinity and Mayor Smith explained the City's Policy in this regard and stated that the City world work
rith Mr. Roark and Mr. Munn the same as they would with anyone else and should there be need for deviation
Prows Policy, the Council would consider it.
3olf Course Rules changed
Councilman Davenport referred to rules for the City Golf Courses as presented earlier in the year
with respect to the restricted play on Sunday mornings for men only. He stated that they had found that the
new Coarse had relieved the pressure on the old Course Sunday mornings; that he had talked with the Golf Pro
and the Board of Control and they had agreed and recommended a change in the ralas.
Councilman Davenport moved, Councilman Carpenter seconded, that the rules be changed to permit
women to play Sunday mornings at the Rine Role Course and that a letter of recommendation be written to the
Golf Pro to the effect that should there be a group of men waiting to tee off or some other mixed foursomea,
that possibly the men should be given the preference. A vote was taken and the motion unanimously carried.
Easement Deed accepted - General Services Administration
The Easement Deed from the United States of America, acting by and through the Administrator of
Oeneral Services and herein referred to as Instrument No. 553242 was presented to the Council for their con-
sideration.

to in the Basement and said that, in substance, the Easement may be terminated in the failure to comply with
any term or condition of the grant, or for nonuse for a consecutive two year period, or for abandonment by

ed'and recorded. A vote was taken and the motion unanimously carried.
