80 TUES nt,.y -- MARCH ~ 1958 In preparation for the forthcoming March 18th hearing before the state 'Nater Control Board in connection with the City's proposed sewerage system improve:rrents program, Council reviewed the sample sewer service charge rate schedule presented by City Manager Hirst at Council's Februar'J 25th meeting. Further, Council went on record as agreeing to present this schedule to the Water Control Board at the March 18th he2_ring as a proposal by which the City will attempt to carry out phases of the improvements program. By letter and through its representative, Mr. William B. Muse, the Imperial Building and Loan Association requested a total refund of $417.00 from the City, representing over-charge am over-payment of local business license taxes for the City license tax years 1955, 1956 and 1957. This request was based on a si.rnilar request which has been granted by the State Department of Taxation in which the Department of Taxation ruled that the Imperial Building and Loan Association has complied and is complying with Section 58-373 of the State Code. Council indicated favorable action upon the request upon the condition that this firm certify by letter to the City that it has complied and is complying with said Section 58-373 of the state Code. Hr. Yi. H. Price, Jr., appeared before Council and asked for permission to operate an automobile "drag strip" on a portion of the former Lester Airport property .vithin the corporate limits. Further discussion revealed that 1'J.r. Price was actually requesting the issuance of a local business license-previously denied by the Commissioner of Revenue-for the operation of such a business. Council unanimously denied the issuance of such a license, expressing as one of its reasons the opinion that the operation of such a busiress at t.1Le location mentioned would constitute a nuisance to surrounding property owners and residents.
