The council tabled a second reading of a proposed ordinance requiring prospective gasoline station owners to secure consent from 51 percent of nearby property owners within 600 feet before construction. Mayor Woodworth will pursue closing midnight movies citing the taxicab disaster. Foster Cornwell was asked to draft an amendment raising cab liability insurance from five to six passengers, with the amount to be set at the next meeting. George R. Evans and the city contracted for a tract at the fairgrounds for twofamily dwellings with $15 annual rent per unit. The council accepted a petition to grade Ohio Avenue to Watt Street and Shannon Avenue and solicited funds from residents for cinders and limestone. A six-property owner petition asked paving on Forrest Street, to be investigated by Evans.
