245 Councilman Bishop made a motion to refer the petition to the Board of Works and Safety and the City Attorney for investigation and action. At this time this matter was discussed at some length. Councilman Jordan stated that he would like the action to cover all the dumps in the city. City Attorney Levy advised that this is the intention of the Board. Mr. Joseph Levy of the River Park Civic Association suggested that dirt from Pleasant Street be put on the dump. Mr. Williams, City Engineer,said this could be done but it was questionable whether or not it would be permissible to dump dirt on private property without the owner's permission. After a study of figures showing delinquent taxes, Mr. McCarthy suggested the possibility of the city acquiring the property for park purposes. Mr. Levy said this suggestion would be kept in mind. Councilman McCarthy seconded the motion of Councilman Bishop. Motion carried.
