City Council approved Ordinance 733 to re zone land near Highway 327 East and Watts Road from residential to commercial at the request of W L Cou drain. Claude Thompson objected.

Cesar Dominguez reported a 17477 revenue sharing check raising total receipts to 76999, and the city sales tax for the last quarter of 1972 rose 11.4 percent from 1971.
