CITY'S NEEDS' AIRED

fected by high-water on Mill
creek. The mayor in his message
also mentioned the inadequate
drainage downtown, and declared
that the heating plant in the base
ment of .the new First National
Bank building had been flooded
by ordinary rainstorms.
The council authorized the may
or to appoint a committee to inves
tigate the sewerage situation and
recommend a corrective solution.
Curb pumps for dispensing gas
oline brought out the livliest argu
ment of the meeting. Since the
planning and zoninz commission
had- recently announced their: in-
Ilcntion, ikt i abolishing . all curb
pumps, in the near future, it was
held that it would be unfair to
grant permission for more pumps
and thus, allow -the owner to as
that he could keep the pump along
the eurb. f -. j
- Capitol -Motor company had ap
pJiedto the council for permission
to install two pumps at 370 north
HigJi street, and the matter had
been referred to the zoning com-H
mission. They, reported back that!
since- another application submit
ted on the same day had been
granted they would recommend
that the Capitol Motors be not dis
criminated against. Their inten-J
tion to ao ;away- with all curb
pumps by some means in the next
year or two . was announced, and
the permittee was so advised. j
An effort made to lay the . zon-f
ing commissions ' report on the!
table was voted down. j
' Two more applications for Curb
pumps were read at this meeting
and t referred, to the commission.'
They were needed because of; the

plications said. - .
