~14 TUESDAY MAY 13~ 1958 COUI'lCil continued to its next regular agenda consideration of forthcoming vacancies on and/or appointments to the City School Board and the Planning Conunission. By a recorded am unanimous vote Coureil established a property tax rate of $2.25 per one hundred dollars of assessed valuation for the 1958 property tax year. Upon being advised that the Plaming Commission has approved a Cha1m.ers street re-subdivision, under petition of Messrs. W. B. Brcwm and P. L. Parcell, Council approved for City Manager Hirst's signature a contract between the City and the Messrs. Bram and Parcell under terms of the City's Subdivision Ordinance. Mt'. R. S. Foley appeared before Cowx:il and requested permission to construct a six-inch water main from the City's water main at the Mulberry Road corporate limits to serve a subdivision he expects to develop outside the corporate limits in accordance with the City's subdivision requirements. Necessary to the develop- ment would be the replacing by the City of its present two-inch water main from Corn Tassel Trail to the corporate limits with a six-inch main. The request was referred by Council to a special comnittee composed of City Manager Hirst, Public Works Director George W. Brown, and Mr. Foley, for study and recommendation. City Attorney stone informed Council that the consideration being detennined for several small parcels of right-of-way required for the widening of Memorial Boulevard North is insuf'ficient to satisfy existing judgments against the several property owners and, as a result, will not permit the City to obtain clear title to the right-of-way parcels. City Attorney Stone suggested, however, that the consideration to be paid be applied against the judgments, in which event he will clear the titles as completely as possible, to which Council concurred.
