A humber of Tavern owners appeared before the city council recommending, that an. ordina' be enacte~ permitting the operation of'pin-ball in places where no minors are allowed, the operation'of the machines ~to be solely for the amusement of the patrons of the various establ ments, wi~h no ghmbling of an~ sort allowed. A1 R~sso spoke for the passage of the proposed measure, ~aying some sort of entertainment of a harmless nature where there are no minors, wo' an attraction to the places.Tom Kay was of the same opinion, stating' that man~tles are usi: machines of the kind proposed,under amended ordinances, prohibiting gambling. Ti:at San Francisco has a monoply of the busi~.ess at present,many people going frow here to play. Mayor Holston was not so sure it would be fair to other stores, such as drug stores,candy stores and ~he like,wher~ children do congregate. Councilman Ratto questioned the legality of such an ordinance, which might be termed a monopoly. City attorney Coleberd advised that a copy of the proposed ordinance be procured,. and also a CoPy of the San Francisco ordinance, so that a study could be made of both. The Association was instructed to bring iu a rough draft of the ordinance tkey propose at the next meeting of the city council,Monday,OCtober 14,1940,~ at 8 o'clock P.M., together with the San Francisco :~ ordinance. Mr. U.Lucchesi appeared before the council and requested in the interestof business ' i that all trucks be made to unload and load their wares in the lanes behind their stores, that many machines park way over the hour, keeping~ customers from getting a parking place for their cars, injuring business extensively, and requested the city council to order all truck drivers and store keepers to unload and load in the lanes henceforth. Nayor Holston suggested that the police department leave notices in the trucks for the drivers to use the lanes in the r~ar of the Grand Avenue stores,and also notify the storekeepers to co-operate in clearing Grand Avenue of all trucks.No motion was made to carr~, out the suggestion, and nothing further was accomplished. Councilman Llov~ stated the diagonal parking ~s at present is illegal, the parallel parking ordinance not hav~ng~been amended to allow of the a~le system. It was explained by Mayor HoUston that ~he present arrangement was a trial to see if the residents and shoppers could get better ~ service by this t~pe of parking. Also that if it is satisfactory the ordinance can easily be amended to make it law. Virtually all persons present favored the present diagonal or angle style of parking which gives them backward access to the street instead of being blocked in by double parkers. Citizen Thomas Kay brought up the subject of widening Grand Avenue by cutting off several ~ feet from the sidewalks. The suggestion was well received by the councilmen and the business men present. Councilman Lloyd suggested to Mr. Kay to petition the board with the signatures of 50% of the property owners and the work could be done. Chief of Police Belloni was instructed to make a drive against parking overtime in the blocks affected, ihe matter will be given further consideration by the city council at an informal meeting to be held during the week.gn motion by Councilman Lloyd 4~69'.~1 was transferred from Library Bui~ o 'gen.fundClaims in the amount of $4,~3~.37 were next presented to the council for payment;- Dudley Perkins Round California Chain Co~e F~ed L autze 0, W, Smith Louis Belloni So, City ~m~r~ M, Castro Ge Kidwell C, Schurk G, 01mstad Begnal R, 8pinelli V, Ull e r~ A, D~mmin~r E.
