<br />curtailment of service thus indicated, for the Boards use in a conference to be held
<br />with Traffic Engineer, E. H. Miller, at an early date with a view to discovering some
<br />solution for the problem, and stated that the matter is being taken under advisement at
<br />this time.
<br />Next appeared before the Board, Mrs. Noble Skinner, and presented her plea to con-
<br />tinue the operation of a popcorn stand on private property, to which they hold ownership
<br />at 530 South Fellows Street. The City Engineer, being present, finding this location
<br />to be zoned as light industrial, informed Mrs. Skinner no permit is renu_red, but
<br />cautioned Mrs. Skinner to secure the required State of Indiana license.
<br />Street Commissioner, H. M. Tomlinson, together with Chief of Police, R. J. Gillen,
<br />next brought to the Board's attention a situation presented after every storm where any
<br />considerable amount of tree limbs break off and fall into the street, obstructing
<br />traffic and creating traffic hazard. It was pointed out that the Department of Public
<br />Parks does not maintain emergency service to handle this type of condition, and the
<br />Street Department does not have the equipment, nor authority, to trim or cut down, or
<br />'saw fallen trees and tree limbs with the emergency equipment the Street Department
<br />maintains and operates under storm conditions. It was the consensus of opinion of
<br />the Board, to hold conference with Superintendent Ralph Newman of the Park Department
<br />to determine the responsibilities of the Street and Park departments under storm
<br />emergency conditions, with a view to rendering more efficient and co-operative service
<br />when such emergencies occur. Commissioner Tomlinson was directed to hold such a
<br />conference with Superintendent Newman and endeavor to arrive at an agreement in the
<br />matter of rendering such special emergency service.

<br />Discussion was next given to the topic of weed -cutting, and the suggestion was
<br />'offered that the ordinance be changed in certain respects. The City Attorney, being
<br />present, agreed to review the -ordinance to determine such revision as the ordinance may
<br />require.
