'Ibis motion was seconded by Commissioner Martin and carried unanimously. The City ~ngineer and City Secretary presented figures relative to the improvement of Westchester Drive frGn the alley north of Southwestern Boulevard to Lovers Lane.

Commissioner M~rtin seconded Mayor Williams' motion and it carried. Secretary Hsmm~n presented bids from A. M. Kahn & Company, Ponder Uniform Company and Sam Dysterbach in connection with the police and fire uniforms which are to be purchased for the fall season. After careful examination it was apparent that the three bidders were bidding on similar merchandise and that the bid of Sam Dysterbach was consistently lower on everything except breeches used by motorcycle officers which were only $.25 higher per garment and we were not in the market for such articles. In view of the fact that we only purchase small quantities of these breeches and not being in the market for same, it was definitely determined that the bid of Sam Dysterbach was the cheapest an8 best big submitted. ~ereupon Commissioner Lawther moved that Secretary H~mman be instructed to c c~tact the firm and place orders. This motion was seconded by Co.~missioner Martin and carried unanimously. There being no other business to come before the Board at this time, Commissioner Martin moved the meeting adjourn.

ATT~~ 212 MIAEFi~mS OF A SP~IAL 5~TING OF THE BOARD OF C0~,~flSSIONERS OF THE CITT OF U~JIVERSITY PARK P~LD IN THE AUDITORIUM OF THE CITY HALL AT 7:30 P.M., FRIDAY, NOVI~BER 24, 1939. The Board of Commissioners of the City of University Park met in special session in the auditorium of the City Hall at 7:30 P.M., Friday, November 24, 1939, with the following members present: Mayor Pro Tem E. Glenn Martih and Commissioner Lynn V. Lawther. Also present were City Secretary Ralph E. Hamman and City Attorney P. C. Fewell. The meeting was for the purpose of further discussing inadequate transportation facilities now offered the citizens of University Park by the High- land Park - S.M.U. Bus Lines (Ward-~ay, Inc.). ~. Jack.Tingle, a cour~reporter, was present and recorded the proceedings of the meeting. ?r. D. M. Faulkner, owner of the bus company appeared with his attorney, ~r. John B.Muse, and o~fered a proposed new route for the buses to travel. Under the proposed route, buses would begin a loop at the intersection of Douglas Avenue and McFarlin Boulevard with the buses alternating on the north and south loops. A bus on the South loop would turn east at the above intersection and travel ~cFarlin Boulevard to Hillcrest, thence north to Daniels, thence east to Airline Road, north on Airline to Lovers Lane, west on Lovers Lane to Hillcrest, thence north to Hanover, west on Hanover to Douglas Avenue thence south to the beginning of loop and on to Dallas over the present route. A bus on the North loop would take the same route in the opposite direction. Thence were many protests to the proposed route due to the ~ct that it eliminated several streets and sections which are presently served inadequately. The citizens residing in the eliminated sections claimed that the poor service was better than none at all. Mr. Faulkaer promised to add three new buses to the present eight and give nine minute service during the rush hours and twenty-two minute service dur- ing the dull hours. He further promised that this service would be absolutely dependable. D~r. ~. K. Wines suggested that two loops would be more satisfactory and would be available to more citizens than one large loop, as at present, and as proposed,w P~e.~uggested that the two loops overlap two or'three blocks. Mr. Ed 213 Wesson, President of the Idlewild Improvement League, objected to having two loops because it would isolate the western part of the city from the eastern section, in- cluding S.M.U., Snider Plaza, Hillcrest Avenue, etc. Mr. W. A. Rogers, 3305 Greenbrier Drive, was sworn in as a witness and testi- fied that the proposed route would be inconvenient to his neighborhood. He further testified that he formerly lived close to and patronized the Vickery Bus line in Dallas. He outlined the route of the Vickery Bus line and stated that it did make a short loop at the end of the line and then retraced the route to or frc~ town. His testimony disclosed t he fact that it was unusual to wait more than a few, possibly five, minutes for a bus to arrive at the corner where he boarded the bus. Mr. Faulkner testified under oath that the proposed route would reduce the time to to~n by eliminating sixteen right angle turns. He stated that it would take about twenty minutes to make the trip to town fr~n Mc~rlin and Douglas (junction of the loop), or forty minutes for a bus to make the loop and get downtown. There were approximately 100 people present at the meeting and many showed a desire to testify, but since themeeting was for the purpose of giving the bus company an opportunity to present their side of the case, no testimony was given without consent of the defendants. Mr. Faulkner further testified that the doors of the buses were no'in good operating condition and that a supervisor had been added to his personnel whose duty it is to check the schedule of buses and to see that each bus has the correct sign displayed at different points of the route. After the Board had heard all testimony, Mayor Pro Tem Martin advised those present that the Board of Commissioners would take the matter under advisement and reach a decision within two weeks. There being no further business to come before the Board at this time, ~ayor Pro Tem ~rtin entertained a motion to adjourn, which motion wes seconded and carried.

After considerable discussion, Dr. Lowers was advised that the expense of the paving of Thackery Street north from the end of the present paving would necessarily have to be borne by the owners of the property abutting on Thackery. Whereupon, Commissioner Lawther moved that the City order the paving of Thackery Street from the south line of the alley north of Greenbrier Drive to the intersection of Caruth Boulevard.

Tho motion was seconded by Commissioner Mmrtin and carried unanimously. $ Secretary Hamm~u presented the report of City Engineer Yack B. i~irven in~ conne~ction with building sidewalks and erecti~ street markers throughout the City. The City ~ngineer had prepared an application to the Works Projects Admin- istration requesting that the Ci~y be granted ~£0~57.17 Federal aid and set out 22O that if this request was granted, the Sponsor's funds would aggregate J$9,431.00. After some study of the proposed plan and after n~aking a hurried review of the present financial position of the City, it was decided that no action should be taken at this time on this matter but same should be held in abeyance probably some 30 to 60 days. Commissioner Lawther moved that the City endeavor to employ £~r. Sial i'iansen, formerly of the Fire Department of Dallas,,as Chief of the Fire Depart- ment of University Park, and that Chief Trammell remain as Chief of the Police Department but be relieved of !-~is duties in connection with the ~ire Department. It ~as brought out that the City could probably obtain Mr. Hansen's serVices for ~200.00 per month, but that it would be necessary to work out an arrangement with the officials of the City of Dallas wherein Mr. ttansen would continue to recoive his compensation from that city until such time as he had been on the City of Dallas payroll long enough to qualify him ~o receive a pension from the Fire De- partment of that City and it would be necessary that the City of University Park reimburse the City of Dallas each pay period the amount of salary Mr. Iiansen would receive from that city. After considerable discussion it was d~t®rmined that Co~aissioner Lawther's motion had died due to a lack of a second. Secretary Hamman advised the Board that the term of the Zoning sion of the City of University Park would exorie on Dec~mber 17, 19~9, and it is the duty cf the Board of Commissioners to appoint new members or reappoint the old Zoning Commission. Commissioner ~artin moved that the present mambers of the Zoning Commission composing ~r. H. C. Powell, 0hairman; L. ~. Sharp, Secretary; C. G. Weakley, R. C. Duncan and Tom P. ~'innegan be reappointed. This motion was seconded by Commissioner Lawther and carried. Whereupon the following resolution was presented.

After considerable discussion, CommisSioner Lawther moved that the City Clerk advise the City Engineer that the COmmission would interpose no objection to the granting of permits to the respective builders on the ap- plicationsiin question, a variance due tO the City's recent side yard re- quir~oments.

Mr. Pit,nan requested that the City purchase 653 square feet from Sim at a price of 9~ per square foot, or a total of $§8.77, which land will be dedicated to public use and on which the sidewalk will be constructed. After considerable discussion, Commissioner ~artin moved that Mr. P~ttman's request be granted. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Lawther and carried. City Secretary Hamman presented a letter from Southern Methodist University dated June 26, 1940, offering the City the H & T 0 spur track from Colt Road to Airline Hoad for a park with certain provisions to be~ met by the City.

C. Speer on April 4, 1927. Secretary Hamman pointed out that the records of the trusteeship were so vague that he could not conscientiously recommend that Mr. Daven- port's request be granted at this time. It was further brought out that if the Morton Estate has any claim in regard to this matter, that said claim would be against H. J. Estep, the person from whoa the Morton Estate purchased some water and sewer connection charge liens.

Secretary Hamman presented a petition signed by J. Hirers Hines requesting the annexation of 3.3971 acres of land at the northeast corner of Douglas and Colgate Avenues. After considerable discussion Commissioner M2rtin moved that the petition be accepted and that Mr. Hines be per- mitted to have sewer and water connections to serve the 10 lots in question if and when, but only if and when, the Mayor, the City Engineer and the City Secretary were of the opinion that all of the requirements agreed to in Mr. Hines' petition had been met. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Lawther and carried. 300 City Clerk Hamman explained that Henry S. Miller, as agent for the owner of the north 80 feet of Lots 10, ll and 12, Block l, ~ethodist University Addition, had offered a compromise settlement of $50.00 cash for the re,tease of any and all water and sewer connection charges on the ground Just described.

Willi,me, which lien had become null and void on fore- closure of a prior lien. After consideration, Commissioner Lawther moved that Mr. Miller's compromise cash offer of $50.00 be accepted.

After stone discussion the Commission agreed to her depositing with the City a cash bond in the sum of $~0.00 in lieu of a bond written by one of the major indemnity companies. '306 Mr. 1~. G. Storey, acting as attorney for Leachman's laundry appeared and urged that his client be permitted to cut the curb on the south side of St. Andrews Drive at a point 100 feet east of the east line of Preston Road for a distance not to exceed 26 feet. The purpose of cutting this curb is to make a driveway approach, the driveway extending south 'to the north aide of the laundry building, said driveway to be used by both the public and the employees of the laundry. Mir. Lantmm Croley, a citizen of the St. Andrews Addition, appeared and e~tered protest to the granting of the request. After considerable discussion, She Commission referred the matter to the City Attorney for his study and investigation. Mr. O. D. Wyehe had previously contacted Secretary Hamman relative to furnishing the City of University Park garbage disposal facilities. The M~yor and each of the Commissioners had inspected Mr. ~yche's property and it was the unanimous opinion that if a proper contract and agreement could be worked out with Mr. Wyche, that such action would be desirable. M~r. t~mm~n was instructed to refer Mr. Wyche to City Attorney ~ewell who was instructed to give the matter his most careful consideration and draw a contract which in his opinion woul~ protect the City's interest and submit the contract to the Mayor and Co~missioners for their consideration. There being no further business to come before the meeting, a motion was made and seconded to adjourn.

W. Caruth, Sr.,Mr. W. W. Caruth, Jr., and their attorney, Mr. Ralph Wood, appeared and again protested to the City,s action in annexing territory east of Coit Road, and urged that the recent ordinance adopted doing so be repealed. These gentlemen assured the governing body of this City that it was their intention at this time to annex to the City of University Park all ground north of Lovers Lane and east of Colt Road now outside the corporate limits of this City, to the City of University Park. The Caruths agreed to file with the City a letter setting out that the property Just mentioned would be annexed to University Park if and when it was desirable to develop the property. After considerable discussion, it was agreed that uPon filing with the City, and the aoproval of the gOVerning body a letter or agreement, under circumstances as set'out above, the City would then give consideration to adopting an ordinance repealing the annexation of the property recently annexed east of Coit Road. Mr. W. W. Caruth, Jr., again protested the present side yard require- ments of residential areas and requested that 10% of the average width of a lot was sufficient side yard requirement rather than the present requirement of 12~%. After due consideration Commissioner Lawther moved that the City Clerk be instruct- ed to call a meeting of the Zoning Commission at the earliest date possible to '336 again consider ~hiS problem, The motion was seconded by Commissioner Martin and carried. ~[r. W. W.

After considerable discussion, Commissioner Martin moved that the City ~ngineer be requested to obtain and secure all in- formation possible relative to specifications and requirements in connection with the paving of streets, and that as soon as such data and information had been obtained, that a special meeting of the Board of Commissioners be held to review the findings of the Engineer. And further that this meeting be an open meeting and that paving contractors, cement dealers, developers and others who might be interested be permitted to attend.

The motion was seconded by Com- missioner Lawther and carried unanimously. Mr. McCoy of Tyler, a representative of the St. ]~ouis, Southwestern Railway Company appeared and discussed with the Co~nissioners the locating of a railway passenger station on the right-of-way of his railroad at the corner of Lovers Lane and Lomo Alto. Mr. McCoy was told that if his company saw fit to bring the railroad track 'from Lovers Lane to our north city limits into the City and they would construct the building in accordance with our requirements for buildings in business areas, that the City would permit the company to tie onto the city's sewer and water lines; the company, of course, paying for the extension.

Hamman for further study and tabulation, with authority to purchase, in their Judgment, the best cars offered. The motion was seconded by Mayor Williams and carried. Mr. Lawther moved that the City Clerk be instructed to request Mr. Hill of the Dallas Foundation Company to withdraw his bid in connection with the paving of certain side streets in University Park and that the City Clerk and City Engineer advertise for other bids in connection with this paving, due to the fact that the Dallas Fo,madation Company had made such poor progress on this work. This motion was seconded by Commissioner Lawther and carried. City Clerk Hammmn discussed with the Commissioners the price to be charged for swim tags for this season and after considerable discussion, it was the unanimous opinion of the Commission that tags should be sold for this season at SS.00 each and single swims for .50¢ each and that the City shall pay out of these prices, the 10~ defense tax for which the City will be liable.

Commissioner Lawther moved that the application be referred to the Zoning Commission. The motion was seconded by Commissioner M~rtin and carried. City Attorney Percy C. Fewell pointed out that it would be necessary for him to spend several days in Austin protecting the City's interest in connection with a bill pending before the Legislature relative to Fresh Water District No. 10. He also stated that he had previously done considerable work 342 on this matter and it will be rather expensive to get legislation passed which will properly protect this Otty.

City Health Officer, Dr. EdW. Looper, was out of the city, but his health report for the month of July was presented by City Clerk Hamman. Mr. K. B. Weoley, a Dr. Kelly and Mr. Ellisor appeared and stated that they all lived on corner lots abutting Airline Hoed between Lovers L~ne and South- western Boulevard.

Lots 10 to 1~ inclusive face Daniels Street east of an alley ru-~ing north and south, which 'alley is east of Airline Road.

One reason he stated was that should a fire occur on Sunday, it would be impossible to get the fire trucks through ~this block due to double parking of cars on each side of the street by people attending the Park Cities Baptist Church. The Commission pointed out to him that such action would preclude anyone from parking on that side of the street at any time but if the majority of the people residing in that block would Join him in a petition m~king such request that the Commission would give further consideration to this matter.

Shannon property on Preston Road being Lots 1, 2, ~ and 4 in Block D, and Lot 1~. in Block B; and Mr. Dealey's Lot 11 in Block B, all in St. Andrew's Place Addition, so as to per- mit that property to be used for commercial uses, and stated that apparently it was in order to hear from the petitioner, Mr. Shannon. Whereupon, Mr. D. G. Smith appeared and stated that Mr. Shannon's wife was in the hospital at the point of death and that it was impossible for him to be present at this meeting and requested that no action be taken and that the matter be deferred indefinite- ly. Mr. Williams then asked if anyone else cared to represent Mr. Shannon. No one appeared. Whereupon, Mayor Williams moved that the action taken by the Zoning Commission relative to this matter under date of May 6, 1941, denying the petition in question be sustained, ratified and confix~ne~ and that the application in question be denied. This motion died due to a lack of a second. Commissioner Lawther stated that he was under the impression that Mr. Shannon had been advised that due to his wife's illness, which would pre- vent him from coming to the meeting, that the hearing would not be held and that no action whatsoever would be taken. Mr. Lanham Croley, Mr. Ed S. Wesson, Mr. Yack McClure and others addressed the Commission urging that the hearing be held and that action be taken. After several brief comments and remarks, Mr. Carl Mayes appeared and stated that he personally was opposed to the changing of the zoning of the property in question but felt that every man was entitled to his day in Court and in view of the circumstances, thought that it was proper that no action be taken until such time as Mr. Shannon could appear in person or through proper representation. It was moved by Commissioner Lawther, seconded by ~ayor Williams that this hearing be abandoned and closed without the entry of any order, without prejudice to the right of the petitioner to again ask for consideration of the Zoning Commission's recommendation with reference to classification of his property, after proper legal notice. This motion was carried unanimously. There being no further business, the meeting adjourned. PASSED AND APPROVED THIS THE TWEETIE'ffH DAY OF OCTOBER, A.

After considerable discussion, Mr. McPherson was told that he might continue his discussion of the m~B. tter ~ith the City Clerk and that the Commission would take under consideration the City Clerk's recommendation. Mr. ~k~ank Richardson, Vice President of the Hillcrest State Bank appeared with the bank's attorney, Tom Murnane, ~nd protested the assessment levied by the tax assessor and collector. After some discussion, it appeared that the ~iffer- ence between the assessment levied ~nd the amount of tax the bank wished to pay 3S'7 was a difference due to divergent interpretations of the statutes and the bank's attorney was requested to confer with the city attorney and the city attorney was instructed to make his report to the governing body at its next regular meeting. A Resolution was presented about placing street lights at the follow- lng intersections: ~REENt~IER LANE & PICI~ICK LANE GREE~ER LA~ & BALTI~ORE DRIVE Conm~issioner Nartin moved that the resolution be approved.

Mr. Karl Noblitzelle, Mr. Nathan Adams, and Mr. Gene McElvaney, all made urgent appeals on behalf of Civilian Defense and requested that this City make the $2500 donation asked by Major McLain. Mayor Slaughter and Commissioners Porter and Merchant asked m~_~y questions relative to the workings of the Civilian Defense Council and Guards; also, it was asked on what basis this City was requested to donate $2500. In'this respect, it was brought out that the City of Dallas Council appropriated $7500 for donations, based upon the City of University Park and the Town of Highland Park each donating $2500, and the County of Dallas $75~0, making a total of $20,000.

Hr. D. G. Smith, former Mayor of the City of University Park, stated that after listening to the urgent appeal made by the above mentioned gentlemen, it was his opinion that the citizenry of University Park would want the City Commission to participate in this program. Commissioner Merchant moved that the City's budget be amended and that $2500 be made available for the use of the Dallas City-County Civilian Defense Council, with the understanding that the council, when seeking additional funds from this City, would take into consideration the $2500 advanced at this time, and that the total donations requested from the City of University Park would be on a pro rata and equitable basis with other tax ~.ying units of this County, specifically the County of Dallas, City of Dallas and the Town of Highland Park.
