MCCARTHY: Pro & Con Hear Floyd Wynne's Comprehensive Analysis of BOTH SIDES of the Great McCarthy controversy TONITE ON "WHAT DO YOU THINK?" 9:15 P.M. - KFLW-CBS Courtesy of Balsiger Motor Company-Your Ford Dealer Concession Issue Heard By Council The proposed concession stand for the new Municipal Swimming Pool Is posing a problem for City Council "a fine legal problem and left council wary to act. L. P. Brockman previously pro. posed operating a concession stand on his property adjacent to the pool. with windows facing tne pool to serve customers. In return for as surances that he would have exclu sive rights for three years, until he regained bis Investment, Brock- man offered the city five per cent of his net Income and promised to re-side his present building to con form to. tne pool ouuoing exterior. A letter to council from Attorney J. C. O'Neill for his client, Jack Brosnan, reminded council that tne city may hot grant exclusive rights to operate- a business on one's own property. If the concession were to ne on city property, nowever, Bros nan would be interested In bidding on it. Brosnan last August petitioned council to rezone his property at 210 Martin to a business sons to enable him to erect a drive-in type ice cream store. Tbe petition start ed a three months' battle which ended in rezoning the area on both sides of Main from the canal to the intersection of East Main and Martin. . . . . In Brockman's. offer, he would only have exclusive rights of egress and ingress tnrougn city property. Mayor Paul Landry expressed the opinion that egress and ingress Is equivalent to city property and therefore council could grant exclu sive rights. The matter was referred to City Attorney Henry Perkins for legal study and to the swimming pool committee for further study. . Council accepted a final recom mendation on tne Stale Highway Commission's plan for traffic con trol at South sixth and Shasta Way. The Trallic Safety Committee recommended. In a memo to coun cil, opposition to the commission's plan for traffic signals at We South Sixth - Shasta Way intersection. which, according to the commtsH sion, to operate effectively would necessitate a no parking area on aoutn sixui irom Martin to a point 300 feet beyond Shasta Way, . The . Traffic Safety Committee gave as Its reasons for opposing the plan the following: A no park tag area would cause undue hard-' ship on businesses already estab lished: If buildings 'were set back to allow additional width, it would decrease the area of buildings to such an extent that any of them could not carry on' regular busi ness; committee members' obser vations showed that traffic signals were not Important enough to elim inate parking. The committee suggested Instead. Installation of traffic signals at soutn Sixth and Washburn Wav wnere tne intersection is alreadv lain oui tor sucn controls wltnout necessitating redesigning traffic lanes or working a hardship on es tabllshed businesses.
