<br />The Board first considered the matter of application for taxicab driver's license
<br />scheduled for hearing at this time. Mr. Robert J. Green, applicant, being present,
<br />correction of statement made in application was acknowledged by him and explained to the
<br />satisfaction of the Board. Application was thereupon approved.
<br />Letter, dated January 21, 1955, over the signature of Superintendent Ralph Newman,
<br />concerning an inquiry in reference to purchasing a portion of Brownfield park, was read
<br />and referred to the City Controller for further action.
<br />Letter, dated February 6, 1955, signed by Jack Beckman, was read by the Board and
<br />ordered filed.
<br />The application for taxicab driver's license of Francis Vandivier, referred to the
<br />Board by the City Controller, was examined and a hearing set in the matter for 9:00 A. M.'
<br />CST., Monday February 14- The Clerk was directed to notify all concerned.
<br />;!STREET DEPARTMENT:
<br />H. M. Tomlinson, Street Commissioner, being present, brought to the Boardts atten-
<br />!tion an intolerable situation caused by dogs running in packs in various parts -of the
<br />",City. Chief of Police, R. J. Gillen, was present and advised against any wholesale
<br />shooting of dogs, and suggested the filing of charges against the dog owners,recovering
<br />"dogs from the pound for violation of the ordinance against allowing dogs to roam at
<br />(large. Considerable discussion was given the matter and the Police Chiefts suggestion
<br />!;deemed the best procedure. Commissioner Tomlinson stated that he and Poundmaster
<br />Harrison will proceed to obtain necessary information for the issuance of affidavits
<br />;;against violators.
<br />The Board next considered the report of the City Planning Commission of this date,
<br />irelative to petition dated December 1, 1954, to vacate LaFayette Street, from Farneman
<br />'!Street to alley south of Sherwood Street, which called attention to lack of clarity and
<br />'exactness in the description set forth in the petition. The Clerk was directed to
<br />return the petition to Attorney Wilford Walz, representing the petitioners, with the
<br />request that the description be revised to bring it in exact accord with the drawing
<br />:indicating the five separate sections of LaFayette Street desired to be vacated. Upon
<br />return of the corrected petition, the Board will proceed in the matter, inasmuch as
<br />the vacation has been favorably recommended by the City Planning Commission.
<br />The Board then examined drawing of survey of tract of land at the rear of Fire
<br />Station No. 5, and the letter of Robert L. Huff, Director -Secretary of the City Planning
<br />iiCommission, this date, concerning this tract. The Clerk was directed to bring the
<br />matter of an offer having been received through Attorney M. E. Doran for area indicated,
<br />to Superintendent Ralph Newman of the Department'of Public Parks, and Fire Chief, R. J.
<br />Duck, for their consideration and advice.
