<br />:5 1 <br /> <br />TUESDAY <br /> <br />JUNE 25, 1968 <br /> <br />Having recently viewed the several streets for which curb-and-gutter and/or <br /> <br />sidewalk petitions (for construction) have been duly filed, Council approved <br /> <br />the petitions and construction schedule proposed and recommended by the <br /> <br />Department of Public Works for the year 1968-69. <br /> <br />Pursuant to recent request of Council, City Attorney Cubine presented a copy, <br /> <br />with verbal comments, of current statutes pertaining to the regulation and <br /> <br />control--if any--of automobile junkyards, dilapidated buildings, and the <br /> <br />outside storage of personal property.
