The next order of business was the hearing of protests on Local Improvement District No. 51, the sewer district that is being created west of 10th street and north of Linden St. There being none, Attorney Dean Miller was asked to prepare the ordinance creating and establishing the district. Due to ill health, Mr. W. W. McDowell has sold his garbage hauling business to Seal Brothers. The Mayor, after reading the contract agreement between W. W. McDowell and the City of Caldwell, stated it would be his recommendation that the Council authorize the Mayor and Clerk to draw up a similar agreemen with Seal Brothers and sign it in the interest of the City. After some discussion by the Council, ascerta.1 the eligibility of the Seal Brothers, it was moved by Councilman Shorb, seconded by Councilman Vassar that the contract for hauling wet garbage be drawn up on the same terms as the one with Mr. McDowell. The contract to run from year to year with option to renew, the expiration date being December 31st of each yea Motion carried. Mayor Simmerman reported that at the request of the Council some time had been spent by himself, the Engineer and Building Inspector studying the request of Mr. Hoff to change part of his property from residential to commercial zone. He stated they were not ready to make a recommendation on it yet but would discuss it with the zoning board at their meeting September 18th. Mayor Simmerman reported he had received one bid on the old grandstand down at the rodeo grounds from a Mr. Ray Salisbury of Route 2, Caldwell. Mr. Salisbury agreed that he will have it all torn down I and moved out of town by the 10th of November, The concrete foundation blocks will be retained by the City to be used as fill on Belmont Street. There is to be no monetary consideration. A motion was made by Councilman Vassar, seconded by Councilman Luby that we take the offer made by Ray Salisbury of Route 2, Caldwell, to take the old grandstand off the present site. Motion carried. Mayor Simmerman stated he would contact Mr. Salisbury with regards to an agreement regarding this matter. Mr. Bill Swenson, Mr. Bill Roberts, Mr. Dick Hurst, Mr, Charles Bratton and Mr. Bob Rookstool were present to discuss further the traffic and nuisance problems at the Quick Curb. Mayor Simmerman re- ported that he, the Chief of Police and the City Engineer had talked with Mr. McCluskey, owner of the Quick Curb, and with the owner of the Dry Cleaning Establishment adjoining and they are both very much interested in putting up a fence to close the alley entering Oak St. They also agreed to clean up the weed situation out there. The Mayor stated as a result of their investigations signs have been ordered from the Peniten- tiary, one to be placed entering Oak Sto from the Quick Curb stating "No Right Hand Turn" and one placed on So. Indiana Ave. entering Oak St. stating "No Left Hand Turn". Mr. Bill Roberts asked if putting dips in the street had been completely ruled out and the Mayor stated they would prefer to s olve the problem some other way if possible, even putting up a Stop Sign out of the Quick Curb onto Oak St. if necessary. Mr. Bratton asked if we have a curfew law in Caldwell. The Mayor replied in the affirmative. It was then asked if it is enforced, to which the Mayor replied "No", further explaining that the history of. curfews is that they are terrifically hard to enforce. Mr. Swenson mentioned the traffic problem concerning the "U" turning at the East Cleveland Market to which the Mayor replied, they were aware of the problem and were watching it. Mr. Bill Roberts thanked the Council and Mayor for their patience and consideration in listening to their problems, and then left the Council Chambers. Mr. William West and Mr. Herbert Spencer, representing Residential Improvement Co. appeared before the Council with applications asking that the $10.00 per day solicitor's license fee be reduced to $3.00 per quarter. On motion by Councilman Smith, seconded by Councilman Luby these applications were approved. At this time Mr. C. A. Davenport entered the Council Chambers and was given the oath of office as Councilman from the Third Ward by Attorney Dean Miller. After being congratulated by Mayor Simmerman, Mr. Davenport made the following statement: "Even though I realize the responsibilities that are mine in accepting this appointment I feel that it will be difficult to fill the seat which was occupied by Charles Krause. I was sorry to see him leave the Council. I believe in Caldwell. I would like to see Caldwell grow in a good normal solid manner and I will do everything that I can and extend every effort possible to fulfill this ,job as Councilman for the people of my ward and work for all the citizens of Caldwell. I will support all ventures that I think are beneficial to the City of Caldwell and are aonsistaut with good management in the community."
