Y MIDICA1 SOCIETY Fowler Street Rezoning Proposal Turned Down (Continued from Page One) acceptance of the Kinney Addition sewer, recently completed. Wheth er lots previously assessed for a sewer which has been in for many years should be reassessed for the new sewer along the rear of their property was the problem. Two letters were read protest ing the payment and Ike Jones and Herman Flatau, property owners of affected lots, appeared, stating that because of the con tours of the land they could not be served by the- new sewer, since the sewers would have to be run up hill. The lots In ques tion are short, and run complete ly through the block. They pro tested that homes built on the rear of their property facing Ave nue A also could not use the new sewers. Carl Permin spoke protestine depth of the sewer line which serves his property, and Lyle Ed dy protested what would be an additional cost if all the property owners were not assessed propor tionately. The assessment If equally divided would be approxi mately $119,, while if the protest ing property owners were not as sessed, the other residents would have to pay around $170 each. Since the matter was becoming what Mayor Albert G. Flegel termed a "bees-nest," the council decided It had inadequate engi neering data on which to make a final decision on assessments at that meeting, so deferred the matter until the next session Jan. 2. City Manager Matt Slankard was instructed to have the data available. Driveway Costs Shifted Report of the street commit tee recommending against the city paying for driveways on Corey and Military streets was approved. The committee stated that if one driveway was paid for all would have to be taken care of and the cost would run In excess of $1000. Since the widening of these streets is be ing done without cost to the prop erty owners, the committee de cided it would be up to the prop erty owners to take care of their own driveways, which will have to be lowered. The city charter provides that the city is not li able for such additional work.- j The problem of whether or not to charge all vending machines I a tax was discussed, after E. T. i I'nrath and Harold Hoyt, owners of the local Coca Cola dispensing plant, appeared protesting pay ment of a tax on bottle dispens ing machines In the city.
