MOTION by Moffett, seconded by Marriott and carried= That the following report from the City Engineer relative to the contracts held by Brown and Root, Inc. for paving of Morgan, Ayres, and Lipan Streets be referred to the City Attorney for a legal opinion. "CITY OF CORPUS CHRISTI Corpus Christi, Texas September 4, 1945 Honorable Roy L. Self, Yayor and Members of the City Council City of Corpus Christi, Texas Gentlemen: In response to recent instructions that the City Engineer study the contracts and plans which provide for the construction of pavement on Morgan, ,Ayres, and Lipan Streets and Shoreline Boulevard, which contracts are held by Brown and Root, Inc., the following conditions and requirements of these contracts are hereby directed to your attention. • These contracts provide that the contracting agency be responsible for the maintenenc a of said street for a period of five years subsequent to their completion, said responsibility applying to defects which might develop from poor or careless workmanship or the use of faulty or unsatisfactory materials. In this connection it is obviously necessary that the contractor include in his bid prices sufficient funds to cover any contingencie that might arise in the maintenance of the streets over the five year period. The amount of such expense as might be required of the contractor is more or less indeterminate, and it is logical that he would include in his bid prices a considerable sum to take care of the maintenance. This five year maintenance requirement, therefore, is considered an unnecessary expense to the City of Corpus Uhristi, and to the property owners who participate in the costs It is considered more desirable that the contractor be relieved of any maintenance responsibilities after the projects have been completed and accepted by the City and that the City then assume full responsibility for further necessary maintenance. It is the responsibility of the City Engineer and his assistants to see that faulty materials and poor workmanship are not involved in construction and the City should not be obliged to pay more than once for identical protection against such improper performance. Long term maintenance clauses in contracts such as this appear to be a trequirement applicable primarily to small towns and political subdivisions which do not have an engineering staff to enforce the provisia of the contract on construction, and which do not have available the necessary equipment to maintain improved streets. The City of Corpus Christi, however, does have the technical organization and the facilities and it is therefore considered far more economical to the city if the contractor is relieved of maintenance after the pro- ject is completed. Long term maintenance requirements forbid contracting companies frommore distant sections to bid on city work for the reason that they cannot maintain equipment and labor in this locality for a long period of time to maintain the streets, nor can they economically afford to ship the equipment back at indeterminate intervals for the purpose of performing minor maintenance details* Another condition in these contracts which is considered uneconomical to the city and property owners is the fact that only one type of pavement is proposed, namely hot -mix asphaltic concrete. This type of pavement requires a very elaborate plant set-up and, while there are several contractors in the state who own such equip- ment, it would cost a great deal of money to move that equipment ta Corpus Christi and the cost would be pro- hibitive for a small amount of work. Also, if other local contractors were to equip themselves with the necessary equipment, the cost to them would be prohibitive on any reasonable size contract. It is therefore considered advisable and more economical to provide in the plans and specifications comparable alternate types of pavement which would permit more material companies and more contractors to bid on the work. The type of pavement provided for in these contracts is considered very good, and has proved successful in lots of streets, and highway construction, however, there are other types that have proved equally satisfactory, such as concrete pavement and caliche bases with limestone rock asphalt surface courses. It is believed that either of these two alternate types of pavement could be constructed for considerably less money than is called for in these contracts. At least it would provide for far greater competion in material prices and contract bids, and would allow a greater number of contractors to bid on the work,, which would obviously result in economy. This method of providing alternate types of construction has proven very sucessful, and has secured appreciable eeonoiry on construction dandled by the State Highway Department and other similar agencies. In studying these contracts, it is apparent that some items of construction considered very important are not adquately covered in the specifications in a way that the work and materials could be definitely controller by the engineer on construction. In such cases the engineer would be obliged to rely primarily on the cooperation of the contractor and his willingness to perform the work in a satisfactory manner, and in the case of possibly controversy, the engineer would be lacking in authority to require certain phases of the work to be performed in a proper manner. This condition is considered very undesireable, and should be remedied prior to starting any actual construction works To be specific, the Item of "Select Material" used for subgrade treatment, amounting to $12,296.00 in these contracts, is not described as to the character of material considered as "Select Material"; leaving the matter entirely up to the engineer on construction todecide what he considers select materials The same condition applies to the Item of "Shell Base Course for Streets", wherein it is left to the engineer to de- cide what he considers satisfactory material for that item. Such conditions can lead to considerable controversy on construction and do not assure the City of obtaining a contemplated sound construction. Iakewise, one of the most important items in all of these contracts, the one on which the success of all items relative to payment largely depend, is apparently not touched on nor described in the plans or specifications and that item is the "Method of Compaction and Equipment to be used in obtaining compaction" on subgrades, earth fills and subg.ade treatment courses. No description is provided for the type of equipment to be employed, nor is there any 56 specifications relative to the extent of compaction that will be considered satisfactory. These omissions leave the field open to controversy and endanger the success of any type of pavement that might be placed. It is assumed however, in preparing the specifications for these contracts, that a great deal of reliance was placed in the five (5) year maintenance clause and such relienace is well-founded so long as the said maintenance clause remains a part of the contract. In the event, however, that the Contractor is relieved of subsequent maintenance, the above-mentioned items should be clarified. Summarizing the above gemeral discussion, attention is specifically directed to the following considerations with reference to the provisions of the above-mentioned contracts: 1. Elimination of the five (5) year maintenance provision, relieving the Contractor of that indeter- minate contingency of expense, is estimated to reduce the cost of these contracts by 20/ or approximately 450,000. 00. 2. Providing for bids on alternate types of pavement construction which would permit greater comp- etition among concerns prepared to supply materials for use in street improvement and provide for greater comp- etition among contracting firms possessing diversified types of equipment and particular skill in various types of construction. Such provisions would probably reduce the cost of this work by another $30,000.00. 3. Revise the specifications for this work so as to more adequately provide for definite control of materials and workmanship and thereby greatly enhance the surety of success and satisfaction in all items of construction and assure greater success in the improvements in their entirety. In connection with this report, the undersigned wishes it distinctly understood that no reflections are intended to be cast on the ability or integrity of any engineer or other authority who supervised or had a part in the compilation of data or the setting up of the provisions now existant in thes contracts but the purpose of this report is to point out and direct attention to certain practical revisions in the contracts and specifica- tions which would clarify their intentions and provide for greater economy that was obviously anticipated inthe original preparation.

N f'S60 Mayor Self stated that the City Attorney was ready to give his report, which the Council instructed him last - week to make, relative to the validity of the. Brown & Root contracts. 0 L2r. WekM. Lewright, Attorney, appeared in behalf of Brown & Root and made the following statement: "Gentlemen, from my information,as to the naturetof that report in a general conversation with Mr. Pichinson,without knowing the contents of his Opinion, on behalf of Brown & Root, before Mr. Pichinson makes his report, I wish to make a statement, a portion of it in writing, to apply to Mr. Mason's report. Knowing that,Mr. Pichinson is the able lawyer that he is, must arrive at some of his conclusions from some of the statement s in Mr. Mason's report, and that they therefore must contain erroneous conclusions of legality as well as engineering principle, I would like now the permission of the Commission to read this statement to you, and I hope that our friend Bob will give it the same publicity accorded to the report of the City Engineer." (The fourteen page typewritten report read by Mr. Lewright criticising the City Engineer's report and -taking exceptions to his opinion is filed in the City Secretary's office.) "Gentlemen, at my request, Mr. Dellinger is here. In the event you gentlemen have any desire to ask him any questions concerning Mr. Mason's report or any matters concerning these contracts or if there is any matter from a legal standpoint that I might answer. Mr. Pichinson has advised me that he has advised you in his Opinion that the contracts are invalid. Of course I desire to see that report and we desire to reply to that. It is my desire, representing Brown & Root, we want above all things to prevent trouble; it is our desire to prevent law suits.. We will take any reasonable course to attempt to show you that these contracts were made in good faith, just as we would attempt to do if we were individuals. We would like to settle this outof court, but if we cannot we will have no other recourse than to go to court. We ask your mature, deliberate consideration of the matter before you accept Mr. Maswifs report and Mr. Pichinson's report. The following corment was made by Attorney James Young, Attorney Ed Williams, City Attorney John Pickinson, Attorney W. Tu:. Lewright, Commissioner Moffett and Mayor Self: PICHINSON: It is true that my opinion is based upon the matters of fact contained in Mr. Marion's report. First, Before de ivering this Opinion, I would'like to ask Mr. Mason if he has any additions or changes that he wishes to make to his report of last week, in view of the statement that Mr. Lewright has just read. MASON: I would just like to say that my opinions as outlined in the report that I submitted to the last Council meeting are unaltered and unchanged. I stand on the statements as contained in that report. PICHINSON: It does seem strange to me that the only portion of paving that Yxi.Mason has supervised-- the portion out on Port Avenue-- is the only portion they conceded to be in good condition. IZVRIGHT: The report contained the names of the streets and we stated specifically they were in good condition. PICHINSON: I reiterate the only portion supervised by Mr. Mason is the portion out there on Port Avenue. h"r. Pi.chinson read his Opinion as follows: To the Honorable City Council of the City of Corpus Christi Corpus Christi, Texas Gentlemen: "September 11, 19+5 Pursuant to the instructions given to me by the City Council on September 4, 1945, to submit an opinion as to the validity of the three contracts held by Brown & Root covering, respectively, the paving of the following streets, (1) Ayers Street from the east property line of Twelfth Street to the west property line of Santa Fe Street. (2) Lipan Street from the West property line of Tancahua Street to the east property line of Brownlee Boulevard. (3) Morgan Avenue from the west property line of Nineteenth Street to the east property line of Port Avenue; and Kokernot Avenue and Baylor Avenue from the north property line of Morgan Avenue to the South property line of Memorial Hospital Boulevard., I have examined the contracts in question, together with Mr. Fagan Mason's Engineering report covering the same, and the decisions of the Texas Courts and courts of other jurisdictions relative to similar matters. As a result of such examination and study of authorities, it is my opinion that the contracts in question are void for the reasons hereinafter set out: (1) The specifications in question do not provide an accurate description of the method of compaction and equipment to be used in obtaining compaction on subgrades, earth fills and subgrade treatment courses. This, we are informed by the City Engineer's report, is one of the items on which the success of our pavement is largely dependent and is a material specification necessary in order that contractors may be per— witted to submit independent competitive bids. The silence of the specifications with reference to this item fails to advise bidders as to what is required and thus the specifications, in effect, permitted each bidding contractor to provide his own specifications on this very important and material matter of compaction. This practice has been condemned by the courts as will be explained herein below: 361a (2) The specifications were further silent as to the type of "Select Materials" to be used in the subgrade for the streets. Since the type of materials to be used varies with the character of the ground being paved, this general specification also permitted any bidding contractor to exercise his own discretion and to make his own specifications as to what constituted "Select Materials". (3) The specifications upon which the contracts were based likewise had the effect of stifling free competitive bidding in that they failed to provide for alternate types of paving that compare favorably with the hot -mix asphaltic concrete specified and in that they included a 5 -year maintenance provision. Regard- less of the motives that prompted the prior City Administration to approve such restrictive specifications, the specifications set forth conditions which did not afford a fair and a reasonable opportunity for competition and did not put all the contractors, or any substantial number of contractors on terms of perfect quality. The City Charter of Corpus Christi in Article Ii, Section 19, provides that all contracts for more than one thousand dollars, except for professional services, shall be made upon specifications and that IL "After approval of specifications by the Mayor and City Council, advertisement shall be published in the official newspaper, to be named by the City Council, at least once in each week for two consecutive weeks, inviting competitive bids for labor and materials embraced in the proposed contract. All bids submitted shall be sealed and delivered to the City Purchasing Agent, or to the City Secretary. At the time announced in such notice the bids shall be opened in the presence of a majority of the City Council. Thereafter all bids shall remain on file for at least forty-eight hours before any award is made and no award shall be made except to one of such bidders. The Council shall determine the most advantageous bid for the City and shall award the contract to such bidder, but the Council shall always have the right to refect any and all bads and in the event all bids are rejectpd, shall call for new bids which shall be advertised in like manner as the original bids. Pending advertisement of such proposed contracts, the specifications shall be on file in the office of the Mayor, k'ity Engineer or Purchasing Agent, subject to the inspection of all persons desiring to bid. No contract shall ever be authorized except by Ordinance duly passed by the City Council, approved by the City Attorney in writing as to form and signed by the Mayor and Controller." This Charter provision is practically identical with a similar provision in the Charter of the City of Dallas which as under consideration in the case of Superior Incinerator Co. of Texas v. Tompkins 37 S. W. (2) 391. In considering and passing upon a situation arising under the similar provision of the Dallas Charter, the ourt of Caval Appeals of the Dallas District in said case stated as follows: (4) The validity of said contract largely rests upon the legal effect of this charter provision. From this language it is clear that plans and specifications are required to be made and adopted prior to advertising for bids for the erection of permanent improvements by the city of Dallas, and that such plans and specifications must be complete within themselves, giving full details as to the character of improvement to be erected. From this at follows, as a natural sequence, that, if the plans and specifications are so general asto leave the matter of working details to a mere conjecture and speculation on the part of the bidders, they are not in compliance with said charter provision* ror the purpose of safeguarding the interest of taxpayers, upon whom must fall the burdens of government, said charter provision requires that allcontracts for public improvements, costing as much as 4500, must be awarded and executed upon competitive bids based upon specifications prepared therefor and adopted by the board of cormn.issioners prior to the advertisement for bads, therefore same must be viewed in the light of what was to be accomplished thereby. What is meant by the term "specifications" -- that as, what is logically and reasonably embraced within that term? In the case of Gilbert V. United States, 1Ct. C1. 28, 34, the term Ispecificationst is defined as follows: 'As understood by the profession, not only the dimensions and mode of construction, but a description of every piece of material -- its kind, length, breadth, and thickness-- and the manner of joinging the separate parts together. Bouvier defines them as a "particular and detailed acocunt of a thing". Gwilt says they are "an accurate description of the materials and work to be used and perf Armed in the execution of a building." Worcesterts Dict onarp IVA written instrument containing an exact and minute description, account, or enumeration of particulars.ttI The Court in such opinion, treating of specifications which Y�ere silent on important items to be included, said, quoting from 14 Corpus Juris, par. 2191: "Phare competitive bidding is required by law, specifications inviting bids must be sufficiently definite and precise to afford a basis therefor, and free from restrictions, the effect of which would be to stifle competion. If it is so loosely awarded as to furnish no standard or basis for comparison, it will invalidate any and all bids made thereunder." McQuillan, Municipal Corporations (2d Ed.) vol. 3, par. 1309 has this to say on the subject: "In order to attain competitive bidding ap its true sense, proposals for bids must be invited under circumstances which afford a fair and reasonable opportunity for competion. Consequently, it is essential that bidders, so far as possible, be put on terms of perfect quality, so Haat they may bid on substantially the same proposition and on the same terms.tt Par. 13, Id., in part reads: "In order that unrestricted competition may be had, it is necessary that some standard be adopted for the guidance of all bidders. Where, therefore, the plans and specifications are left to the discretion of theindividual badder and submitted with his bid, the effect is to stifle competition, and is therefore a violation of the reqmirement to let the contract to the lowest bidder." In view of.t he numerous authorities that I have considered, I am of the opinion that the specifications upon which the contracts in question have been let are of such a nature as to render the contracts void by Ilreason of being v3aative of the provisions of our City Charter and it is my recommendation that this Council enter 111 362 an appropriate Ordinance rescinding and setting aside the agreement s in question. In this connection I should like to call the attention of the Council to the provision contained in each of said contracts which authorizes the annulment of the contract for any good cause or causes. This action can work no undue hardship on the firm of Brown & Root which holds the contracts, since they have not been called upon to expend any moneys or to begin any operations thereunder, due to the fact that the contracts were let by the previous City Administration approximately sixty days before their term of office expired and at a time when no materials were available for the performing of the work called for in said contracts by reason of the state of war existing, and the public hearings have never been held which are re- quired by law to be called by the Council in connection with such projects for the purpose of affording opportunity to determine the fairness of assessments against the property owners along the route of said improvements, before work upon same has been commenced. t I should like to call the Council's attention to the fact that after receiving their request for this opinion and after checking the law which controls this situation, I conferred with Mr. James Dellinger, the Vice President of Brown & Root, for the purpose of determining whether or not the contracts in question might be amended so as to comply with the Charter Provisions by changing the contracts in the following respects: (1) The elimination of the 5 -year maintenance clause and the accompanying cost. P (2) The inclusion therein of specifications of "Select Materials" for subgrades and compaction. (3) The inclusion of specifications for method of compaction. (4) The inclusion of a provision for the use of alternate materials other than hot -mix asphaltic concrete, with an accompanying schedule of reduced prices should such alternative material be used. I was informed by Mr. Dellinger that he would like to arrange a conference on this subject between my Department mid Mr. Lewis Shapiro, the General Attorney for his firm. Dellinger that this conference could not be arranged. t. Subsequent to this conversation, I was advised by Mr. I recommend that the Council immediately instruct the City Engineer to prepare plans and speeifi- cations in accordance with the law and in accordance with his report heretofore delivered to the Council, and that he advertise same for bids as provided by the City Charter, in order that the construction may go forward 1. without delay. t Respectfully submitted, (Signed) John J . Pichinson John J . Pichinson, City Attorney" LEfM IGHT: Mr. Mayor and Councilmen, by way of reply to Mr. Pichinson's statement and report here which I have not seen, the case whish he has reference to, doesn't touch this question any more than the moon is made of green cheese. That Dallas contract didn't contain any specifications whatever. The specifications attached herto con -vain detailed plans. I will say this without regard to the maintenance clause, I will state now and in order that there be no question as to the attitude of Brown & Root under these contracts, that without conceding that these contracts are in any way invalid, you can put in any of the contracts and specifications, any of the specifications agreed upon by Mr. Mason in his conversation with Mr. Dellinger at the time he rode around over the streets that had been constructed. Isn't that right, Mr. Dellinger? DELLINGER. Yes sir. LEVRIGHT: Select material means the very best material in the area. Compaction means compressing. We submitted it to competitive bidding and we insist that the contracts be carried out. PICHINSON: May I ask you a question? Isn't it true that the State Highway contracts specify the compaction? I04RIGETt I am not at all familiar with the State Highway contracts. JAP'T,S YOUNG, JR.: I don't represent anybody except myself. I've got a house out here and I pay taxes on it. I don't know anything about these contracts and specifications, but my idea is that if you should rescind the contracts, the amount of damages you would sustain would be the amount of profit that Brown & Root would obtain on the contracts. I think it would be quite enlightening to the citizens of Corpus Christi to see how much Brown & Root would obtain as a profit on these paving contracts for some nineteen blocks. It occurs to me that if the profit were an unconscionable one or would indicate that something might be wrong in the letting of the contracts as explained here, that perhaps the City would gain something from a suit to recover the excess profits. If what Mr. Mason says is correct as to the amount of profit made by Brown & Root and as to the what the paving could be done forkby the City, it would perhaps be a good idea for the City to rescind the contracts even if it entailed a lawsuit." W. M. LEWRIGHT: When Mr. mason syas 20/clo' of that total price, he is saying that a contractor would come down here with the idea that he would have to build over from the ground up one-fifth of the streets. YOUNG: I don't think that's what he meant. I think Mr. Mason meant that if the streets wen put down correctly there would be no maintenance for the first 5 years and that this could be saved the taxpayers. a LEWRIGBT: He said it would be 20/ higher for maintenance of the streets. Mr. Young, do you have property on streets paved by Brown & Root? YOUNG: My house is on a street that Brown & Root ruined out there-- on Del Mar when they dug it up to construct that street leading to Arcadia. They had a good street there till Brown & Root dug it up anddid it over. LEPdRIGHT: You contend, Mr. Young, that, regardless of the amount of damage the City might have to pay, it would pay it to be involved in a suit over these contracts? YOUNG. I'll say this, Mr. Lewright: it has been my coupon observation that where there is a whole lot of smoke, there -is some fire and there has been a whole lot of smoke around here regarding the contracts let by the previous`Administration with Brown & Root. LEWRIGBT: In reply to your observation about smoke, I'd like to ask you:' Have you ever heard of anybody in the Cit! y o Corpus Christi making any statement that they could prove that there was anything wrong about these contracts? YOUNG: If you are talking about actual proof, I know of none. When you talk about hearsay, you let the bars down. LEPIRIGHT: There are all kinds of rumors about various things-- dust as I have heard rumors about affairs of this City Council today, but I assume that they are irresponsible rumors,`but you are advocating that this Council, regardless of irregularity or legality or illegality of these contracts, rescind them and involve the City in a lawsuit. YOUNG: I am saying that if Mr. Mason is right as to the amount of money the City can save on thi§ job, it would be good business for the city. LE71RIGIE: I think Mr. Mason should inform himself concerning what is being done in other cities. YOUNG: I think he should go outside the city cf Houston, if he does, becasue, as I understand it, Brown & Root do most of the paving over there. LEWRIGHT: There are a number of different\ contractors doing paving there. YOUNG: Well, then, I've been misinformed. z ED. WILLIAYIS: Gentlemen, I came here as a tax payer and a former member of this Council. I was on this Council when hese contracts were let and I'm ashamed to say I voted for them and`I am here to try to etase that vote. I voted for those contracts in good faith. They were misrepresented to me. One of these contracts, the one on Morgan Street, was obtained by Brown & Root on a false representation that the sidewalks would be included. Mr. Shapiro, Attorney for Brown & Root-- that gentlemen sitting right there-- assured me they would be included, but it later appeared that the engineer had failed to draw two lines on the plans that would indicate sidewalks. Every time you fall to put down a sidewalk, you create a traffic hazard and make sure that three or four people are going to get killed. In Mr. Lewright,'Brown & Root have a very able representative. He is one of the most able lawyers in Corpus Christi and he is usually the master of any situation, but he has been fighting windmills here all evening in arguing the comparison between hot -mix and plain concrete. Nobody has been considering plain concrete. There are other alternatives. II I Z7RIGHf : I wasn't talking about plain concrete. WILLIANSt I learned more about the contracting business in Corpus Christi the last three months I sat on this ouncil than I had in eight years previously and Mr. Lewright, I heard from one of your good clients, that Brown and Root had a stranglehold on this city and I found out from him that if we got rid of the City Engineer we had then, that other contractors would come in here and bid.' That man who told me that is a man in whom you have the greatest confidence. I'll be glad to give you his name. IL1RIGBT: I'd like to have it. WILLIAIS: The claim has been made that these contracts were properly let. Mr. Pichinson has read from those specifications, and has told you they must be submitted to the Council* jhose specifications were not submitted to the Council. They were never submitted to me. LEWRIGI-T . I think that you are mistaken. The Minutes show they were submitted to the Council. WILLIXIS: The City,Secretary didn't write those Minutes. Mr. Shapiro wrote those Minutes. 11R. LOUIS SHAPIRO: I beg your pardon, I never wrote the Minutes for this or any other city. 1. WILLIA2bS: Maybe you didn't write them but you brought them in here. And, of all the silly things, it is to bring a comparison of Corpus Christi with the City of Houston. That City is as much under the domination of Brawn & Root as the City of Corpus has been under the past Administrations. IZ, RIGHT: Do you charge that any member of the Council took money from Brown & Rootl WILLIAPIS: I don't charge that but I do say that Brown & Root has had a monopoly on city contracting here that has prevented competition. LEWRIGHT: They have been able to get the contracts due to the fact they had an organization and the materials 0 operate. WILLIA:iS: They had an organization all rightt He said that Kokernot Trust recommended that kind of paving. I don't know about t hat . LEWRIGHf: I have had personal experience. I have ridden over concrete streets and I have ridden over caliche streets and I w ndered why in the world the city ever had that kind of paving done. Bud Peck is no fool. I imagine Bud Peck investigated it/ PICHINSON: The contracts for the Baptist Foundation provide for paving of the kind on Tancahua street or of like quality—of paving therewith. WILLIMTS: I make the charge that Brawn & Root's proposal to maintain the streets isn't worth a tinker's dam. In proof of that I point out to Shoreline Boulevard at its juncture with Ocean Drive. Thousands of Corpus Christi people have to ride over that. LEVPRIGHT: There is a one-year maintenance clause in that contract and it didntt go to pieces till after that time WILLIAMS- I personally observed it before the elapse of a year's time. I'll further call your attention to the condition of Tancahua Street at the Y now and I'll ask you if you can say that is in good condition. Gentlemen, of the Council, I ask you to follow the recommendation of the City Engineer and your city Attorney and rescind these contracts. All five of you will rake a name in the history of this town that will never be forgotten if you will open up these bids and give other contractors a chance. B. G. MOFFETT: I have a statement that I want to make. Has anybody else got anything to say? Then I have some aing to say. Mr. Mayor and Members of the Council, I happen to be the only member of the City Council that s6rved in the McCaughan Administration, and these contracts, as far as I know, and my investigation has gone, are absolutely legal. I don't think that ll:r. McCaughan and Mr. Mireur and Dr. Sechrist and Mr. Williams, any of them tood a nickle from Brown & Root or any other contractor during my two years. I know for myself that, regard- less of the rumors that have been spread, I have not received one penny or anything else of value at any time for my vote on this City Council or any other public office I have held, and I have been in public life in this city for twenty years, and I invite anybody to prove otherwise, either in this county or in the State of Texas or in the United States. These contracts, as far as I know, are legal and I do not want to change my vote one iota from the vote I cast in the McCaughan Administration. The only thing I know about sidewalks is that the sidewalk issue came up after thb contracts were signed. I with now here in publio to go on record in favor of continuing these contracts. I am particularly in favor of this contract on Ayers and Comanche Streets. I am called on every day about accidents there. For myself, I vote for these contracts to be fulfilled as made. I thank you. t. MAYOR SELF: As far as these contracts are concerned, I have asked for investigation because there are other contracts that to my own knowledge as an ordinary citizen were out of line as to cost, and when these contracts for less than 8,000 lineal feet, approximately 19 blocks including street intersections, call for approximately two hundred twenty-eight thousand bucks, it seems to be excessive. The State Highway Department informs me that there isn't any highway, even a very expensive one, that costs more than $50,000 a chile. It doesn't seem reasonable that if the State Highway can build a mile for $50,000, the City should have to pay 4p228,000 for approximately a mile and a half. I have every confidence in Mr. Masonts opinion as City Engineer and in Mr. Fichinson's opinion as City Attorney, and I recommend that these contracts be set aside and that we advertise for new bids. LICTION by Beck, no second: That authority be given to adertise for new bids. I. MAYOR SELF: Do I hear a second? (No second) The motion dies for lack of a second. If there is no further business, the meeting will be adjourned.

We say this in view of the fact that the City Engineer's examination and report on such contracts showed thatthe same were in his judgment excessive to the extent of approximately x,80,000.00. After such report had been filed by the City Engineer, the Council, upon its own Motion, referred such contracts to the City Attorney for his opinion as to their legality, thus indicating at least that the Council would be bound by the Opinion of the City Attorney whose duty it is, under the City Charter, to pass upon the validity of all contracts and approve the same. The City Attorney, a competent lawyer, after study and consideration of such contracts, rendered his opinion, declaring that such contracts were invalid. Notwithstanding such opinion, the Council, by a three to two vote, promptly overrode the City Attorney and authorized that the construction of such streets go forward, under the contracts. We think such procedure is not only unusual in the annals of municipal government, but is not consonant with sound business judgment, and is inconsistent with the publio interest. Regardless of the personal feelings of the members of the City Council, we believe that the public interest demands that the Council follow the advice of its technical advisers whose positions are provided for in our present City Charter. In taking this stand, we are not opposed to the paving of our streets but, on the contrary, are whole-heartedly in favor of proper, efficient and speedy pavement. The few dayst delay that would have been entailed for new specificatio; to be drawn and the paving contracts relet is not, in our judgment, a material item at all, particularly when there is involved a saving to the citizens of Eighty Thousand ($80,000.00) Dollars on a contract for Two Hundred Twenty -Eight Thousand 0228,000.00) Dollars for the paving of only nineteen (19) blocks. In this connection we desire to make the observation that at present there is a dire shortage of labor in Corpus Christi and even though a delay of 30 to 60 days might be entailed by the above suggested proce- dure, by that time we should have many veterans returning and opportunity to work would thus be afforded to them. We believe that the interest of the public has not been served by the action that has heretofore been taken by the Council in this matter and we are making this protest in the hope that the Council will recon- sider its action and re -advertise such projects for further letting. In the event the Council does not see fit to do this, we expect to avail ourselves of the privilege conferred by our present City Charter upon any citizen who is a property taxpayer of Corpus Christi to 'maintain an action in the proper court to restrain the execution of any illegal, unauthorized or fraudulent contract or agreement on behalf of the City.' We respectfully request that you gentlement reconsider your action and that you follow the advice of your City Attorney and immediately instruct the City Engineer to redraw the specifications for such paving and that the same be re -advertised for another bid. Respectfully submitted, (Signed) Sam E. Wilson, Jr. R. He HaVM J. K. Cain" No action was taken by Council. Mayor Self read his following veto of Council's action on September 11th, 194.5 concerning contracts let to Brown & Root for the paving of certain sections of Ayers, Morgan & Lipan Streets: "September 18, 194.5 TO THE CITY COUNCIL OF CORPUS CHRISTI, TEXAS e In view of the fact that my signature approving the Minutes of the last meeting of the City Council may be interpreted as constituting my signature to the Motion contained in said Minutes as made by Commissioner Moffett and passed by a three to two vote of the Council, which Motion is as follows: "That the contracts with Brown & Root be let as made," I wish to herewith record my veto of said Motion, acting under the authority granted to the Mayor under bur present City Charter to veto any ordinance, resolution or motion passed by the City Council, providing that he state his objections thereto in writing. My objections to said Motion are as follows: I am convinced that to pass such Motion in the face of the opinion of our duly appointed and" and qualified city engineer and the opinion of our duly appointed and qualified city attorney, holding that the contracts in question are invalid, constitutes an abuse of the authority of the Council and reveals a flagrant disregard for the rights of the taxpayers of Corpus Christi whose rights and interest our oath of office binds us to respect. I cannot in good conscience concede on agree to the over -payment of the sum of from $80,000.00 to $100,000.00 as was pointed out by our city engineer and I feel that since this engineer has been employed as the technical adviser in his field, his advice should be heeded by the Council. I further feel, as additional reason for my veto, that in view of the city attorney's opinion to the effect that such contract is void,the Council hasti no reasonable alternative than to follow his opinion and re -advertise for bids under new plans and specifications to be prepared by the city engineer. I have made an independent investigation of the matter and I am convinced that the city engineer and city attorney are both correct in their findings and opinions given to the Council, and further, that such re - advertising will not materially delay the paving of our streets but, on the contrary, will speed up such paving, especially is view of the fact that I have been informed by private citizens that legal action is contemplated to enjoin the paving under the present contract and, as is well known, such legal action will consume a great deal of time. I appreciate the interest shown in this matter by certain public spirited citizens and I welcome their advice and cooperation in this cause to the end that we may get our streets paved at fair prices.

Brown & Root, Inc., Austin, Texas Gentlemen: Recently there was a lack of unanimity in the approval by the City Commission of four paving contracts which had been let by a former administration of the City to the firm of Brown & Root, Inc. IL The validity of these contracts was challenged by the city engineer and the then city attorney. In view of this, our board of direetdrs unanimously decided to ask for an opinion from competent out of the city counsel as to the matter. We have receivedthis written opinion which states without qualification that the contracts in question would be held to be void by the courts if made the subject of litigation. We are confident that neither the city nor the contractor would wish to proceed with the work under contracts which could be held illegal. We, therefore, feel that it is to the best interests of our City that these contracts be cancelled, and earnestly request that you and Brown and Root, Inc. review this matter and cancel these con- tracts by mutual consent. " Yours very truly, CORPUS CHRISTI CITIZENS COUNCIL (Signed) Robert T. Wilson, President cc to Brown & Root, Inc., Corpus Christi, Texas." The following statement was read by Mr. Moffett; "Much speculation and discussion has taken place recently as to why I did not recognized the authority of Jack Speer, who has been held eut as acting City Manager of this City. Without going into detail regarding the action of this Council in meeting on Tuesday, October 9, 1945, at which time this Council undertook to appoint the said Speer acting City Manager and at the same time divest him of some of the powers the real City Manager would have under the New Char'ber. I wish to relate the following activities relating to the City Street Department since last Tuesday. 4)uring the morning of October 11, 194.5, Mr. Fagan Mason cane to my office to take over the operation of the Stree Department; he did not do so. Later in the day Mr. Mason handed me a carbon copy of the following two letters, the first one before noon and the second one in the afternoon. 'October 118 1915 Mr. Fagan Mason City Hall Corpus Christi, -Texas. Dear Sir= you are requested to assume the position of Acting City Engineer and carry on the functions of the department as specified in the ,Amendments as adopted by the vote of the people on Saturday, October 6th, 1945. I think you are entirely familiar and capau.Lo of handling any matter that might come up. J,%. -Ie cc; Mr. Be G. Moffett Commissioner of Streets Corpus Christi, Texas Octi ober 11, 1945 Mr. Fagan Mason City Hall Corpus Christi, Texas* Dear Sir; Yours very truly, (Signed) Jack Speer Jack Speer, City Manager, Acting You are directed to assume the duties of Acting Director of Public Works and as such to assume the head of the Engineering and Construction Division of Public Works, as outlined in the Charter .Amendments voted October 6th, 191+5• < 1 I think that you are entirely familiar and capable of handling any matter that might come up. Yours very truly, (Signed) Xack Speer Jack Speer, Acting City Manager JSsle CCs Mr. Be G. Moffett Commissioner of Streets Corpus Christi, Texas' In the forenoon of October 12th, 194.5, I sent Mr. Mason the following letter= 'October 12, 1945 Mr, Fagan Mason City Hall Corpus Christi, Texas. Dear Sir; You have presented to me, as Com- missioner of this City, several letters pur- ported to be signed by Jack Speer, Acting City Manager. 1 This is to advise you that I refuse to recognize as valid and legal any orders so issued. When the City Council of Corpus Christi legally appoints a City Manager and he qualifies for such office, I will faithfully obey and ob- serve each and every provision contained in the Charter Amendments adopted October 6, 19459 Respectfully yours, (Signed) Be G. Moffett BGMsc City Commissioner. 379 Now I have no desire to obstruct or interfere with tie orderly operation of the departments of this City under the City Manager as I have expressed in the above letter. However, as City Commissioner and as a Citizen of Corpus Christi, I want the City Manager of this City, regardless of wham he will be, to be appointed legally, with no strings tied to him. And, also, I want him to fdfill the requirements of the City Manager provisions in the recently adopted City Charter contained therein under Article V, Section 7, which reads, in part, as follows: t ` "The City Council shall require the City Manager, before entering upon the duties of his office, to execute a gopd and sufficient bond with a surety company doing business in Texas, and approved by the City Council, as Surety thereon. Said Bond shall be in such amount as the City Council may demand, payable to the City of Corpus Christi and conditioned for the faithful performance of the duties of his office, pre- miums for such Bond shall be paid by the City." I have a copy of the Minutes of the City Council from and including the meeting of October 9, 1945, and such Minutes fail to show that Jack Speer has the done the things required to be done by him before entering upon the duties of the office of City Manager. Y � I take the postion that any man that is appointed to the postcon of City Manager of this City must make bond required by the City Council- in such amount asthe City Council may demand- and said bond be apEFroved by the City Council before such appointee is qualified to perform the duties ct City Manager of this City in a valid and legal manner." Jack Speer, Acting City Manager, submitted to the Council his bond, dated October 10th in the amount of $10,000.00 as Acting City Manager, approved as to form by Louisa Pearson, Acting City Attorney, and he also submitted bond of Fagan Mason, executed on the same date, in the amount of $5000.00. Mr. Speer submitted his Oath of Office, executed on October llth, 1915. Mr. Marriott moved that the bond be set at X100000.00, and that the bond be approved as made, if in legal form. Mr. Beck seconded the Motion. The vote on the Motion was as follows= Y Y � N. Be Marriott Aye N. Co Beck Aye Be G. Moffett Nay R. R. Rambo Nay Roy L. Self Aye 11r. Speerstated that he had employed Mr. John J. Pichinson as independent legal counsel to report his findings as to whether Mr* Speer's appointment by the Council was valid under the authority of the new Charter Amendments and whether his acts as Acting City Manager had been legally authorized. Mr. Pxchinson stated that he had thoroughly checked the Texas law and cases on such matters and had found that according to the unanimous holdings of the cases, Mr. Speer had been the legal lyYqualified City Manager since the meeting of the previous week at which he was appointed and that the appointments made by him since said date t. 4 were therefore valid. V Mr. Marriott moved that no action be taken toward appointing a City Manager until the next meeting. Mr. Moffett seconded the Motion. Mr. Beck stated that it was essential that there be someone acting as City Manager. Mr. Moffett read from the Minutes of the Council Meeting of October 9th, 1945, the following statement= "Motion by Beck, seconded by Marriott, Moffett voting nay..

This group, most of whom voted for you, bear you no animosity in presenting this proposal to you, I do it as a citizen interested in the growth of our city.

Mayor 395 RO;?IBERS M SETTT: Mayor Self, Commissioners Rambo, Beck, Moffett and Marriott and City Manager Geo. A. Hight. Mr. Speer addressed the Council and stated that he had been dismissed by Mr. Geo. A. Hight, City Manager, at which time JTr. Cox, City Attorney, stated that his opinion had been written but that it was still being typed and further stated that the City Manager under the Charter Amendments has the authority and power to employ and dismiss the person holding the office of City Secretary and the office of Assessor & Collector but recommended that Council action be taken to forestall any litigation on the qUestion. MOTION by Marriott, seconded by Rambo, Moffett voting aye, Beck and Self voting nay, and carried= That the action of the City Manager be confirmed and ratified• Mayor Self asked that 11re night name another City Secretary in order that the minutes of the meeting could be recorded* Mr. Hight, City Manager, appointed Mrs. Lucile Eddins acting City Secretary for the purpose of recording the minutes of the this meeting only. The following statement was read by Commissioner Beck; "For the past two months, I have been a careful observer of the action and conduct,of our City Manager* This Council has heretofore definitely promised the people that* if the charter amendment carried* thus providing for city manager from of government, we would see to it that a capable and experienced city manager would be employed. It is openly apparent that the City Manager, who was employed over my protest and after the briefest of interviews, is not the capable and trained city manager to whom the people are entitled. The affiars which he was employed to administer are in a greater muddle than they were at the time of his employment. I feel that he has been given a fair trial, and that he no longer should be employed at the expense of our citizens. As I have previously stated, I feel that this Council should employ a capable and trained city manager and, only in such way, I feel that a great number of the unsettled problems facing our City can be solved. I. therefore, move that he be dismissed from the City's employ. The Motion died for lack of a second, and no Council action was taken. The Yayor stated that he disapproved of the hiring in the beginning and that he concurred with the statement made by Commissioner Beck. The Mayor read the following statement= "With regard to the proposed $8,000,000 water bond issue, I wish to state that I do not think this Council should assume the authority of calling an election for such a bond issue at this time. Such an action should certainly be postponed until after the recall election* r1hether or not the bond issue as suggested by the Special Nater Investigating Committee is to the interest of the City, I feel that we should await the decision of the people in either approving or disapproving of us as their official representatives before we undertake a responsibility of such magnitude as the recommending to the people that they vote an $80000,000 bond issue. I, for one, would certainly not wish to assume the attitude toward the public which the McCaughan administration assumed when, dust 60 days before it went out office, it involved the City in some $10700,000 worth of construction contracts, which if I am retained as Mayor will do all in my pover to set aside. It should be left to such memebers as shall either remain on the Council or be chosen to the Council with full confidence and approval of the people to initiate action upon an issue which stall involve the expenditure of so large an amount of the taxpayers' money. Also, in connection with this subject, I would like to bring to the attention of the Council the fact that when the former city attorney, Mr. John J. Pi.chinson, resigned after giving his opinion that the city's contracts with Brown & Root for the Lipan & Morgan Street paving project were illegal, he stated that we should feel free to call upon him if he could serve the people of Corpus Christi in any further way. I asked then that he examine the contract with Brown & Root which had been executed by the previous administration for a bayfront improvement project involving expenditure of some $1#200s000,00* Mr. Pichinson examined that contract and gave me his opinion that it also was illegal* I would like to suggest that the Council request the City Manager to also cancel that contract without further delay." There was some discussion of the Bayfront Contract, in which Commissioner Moffett suggested that the present City Attorney review that oontracte No.Couneil action was taken.

Henry were duly elected City Commissioners for the City of Corpus Christi, Texas, and at that time the County Fudge officially administered the oath of office to said persons and they were sworn in to the respective offices to which they were elected. County Judge Browning then congratulated Mayor Wilson and the f our Commissioners, presented the gavel to Mayor Wilson and wished them all good luck and success* Mayor Wilson announced that unless there was objection, the reading of the minutes of the preceding meeting would be waived until a recessed meeting to be held on Thursdays March 7, 1916, at 4s OO o'alook P. Me There being no objection, the reading of said minutes was waived* Mayor Wilson as his first official act, read a proclamation, in accordance with a Presidential Proclamation, in which he designated the month of March as American Red Cross month, in the City of Corpus Christi, Texas. Mayor Wilson then addressed the assembly present as followst "Ladies and Gentlemen: • Recently, On all sides, we have been asked this question, 'How do you feel?' At this moment, it is easy for me to answer on behalf of the men who are with me before you this afternoon. We are all so filled with pride when we thank of the confidence and trust you have placed in us, we simply have no room for any other feeling. We rejoice, also, for we feel that Corpus Christi came to the fork of the road, knew what it wanted to do; that our city is on a new road and that the new road leads forward and upward Many of the circumstances leading to our being in office today were unique in the history of our state. We find ourselves here without having ever solicited one vote; without having made a single campaign promise; with no political commitment of any nature; with only one obligation ! to the citizens of Corpus Christi as a whole. tt Some of those who supported us would like us to give our city a "lick and a promise's. Others would like a thorough house cleaning. Some fear that we will be -too bold* O�hers,.that we will lose our good names. Some, who are the most ardent for us, fear that we will cause our city to be operated better than public opinion desires* A few would have us enter office on a high moral note and would have us stultify ourselves the next day. They want the city clean- ed up and well governed, only so far as it does not apply to them* We wonder a little at all of this. We thought we knew what you wanted* For this we do want to say - on behalf of all of us, and we say it advisedly (we make no reference to our ability and capacity, though we do not plead incapacity) if you wanted a council that was non-politi- cal; if you wanted a council that would represent the city as a whole with no favoritism to any group or cldss; if you wanted a council who would clean up your city and relentlessly oppose anything that could make it otherwise; if you wanted a council which would never let a contract, under the terms of which, directly or indirectly, any member would benefit self- ishly against the city's interests; if you wanted a council that would never employ one person, or appoint a member to any board except with the good of the city in mind; and who would, finally, not tolerate the retention of employees in the city's affairs who were not working for the city's welfare, and who would do this in spite of the opposition or threats of any self-seeking politician, any racketeer, pressure group, or combination of all of them, we want to say - YOU'VE GOT Irl WE ARE YOUR COUNCILS • 4 Haw will we accomplish this? Simply by the best application we can make of the council- manager form of City government. Shall we consider it a little. Under this plan, under our new charter, certain functions of the council are unchanged. It still makes all the laws, and guides the city's policies. It still appoints the stand- ing boards that are so vital to the welfare of the city*, They are the Zoning and Planning Commission, the Board of Tax Equalization, the Civil Service Board, the Parks Board, the Recreation Board, the Industrial and Airport Board and the Library Board. We have many of thecae The quality of personnel on these boards is as important to the city's welfare as is the quality of its council. The council still directly employs the city attorney, the city secretary (who assesses the taxes) the city comptroller, and, finally, the city manager. The members of the council have no executive function. They study the city's problems as a group, and are in effect, the city's board of directors. For example, no one of them is police commissioner. They govern the city through the boards, through the ordinances or laws that they pass* The council operates the city through the city manager and other officials it employs, all of whm are responsible to the council* ITone of the council positions are full-time jobs, nor is the position of inayor• They meet regularly once a week; receive a fee of twenty dollars per official meeting, are limited to a maximum payment of fifteen hundred dollars per year. The form approaches the corporate form of management va th which we are all familiar and which is the best vehicle so far de- veloped for efficient management. It's purpose is to attract men to the council who de- sire to render a public service. It is a democratic form. It is the opposite to political machine government. 0. t < Our city has many problems. Some are simple, of decision, but difficult of execution. Some are perplexing. Some are sizeable now because they were not disposed of as they arose lone ago• We have an accumulation of irritations confronting use It will take work and patience on the part of all of use The city must have a good operating organization* It does not have one today We may at first copy the practices of the best run cities we can find. Isn't this zreasonable? We have many good employees. They are underpaid and we must not temporize on this. We -must have a crack police and fire department. The city must adopt a sound financial policy. 7:e do not have one. The rewards of this are great. The expense will be largely borne dur- ing the terms of the successors in office to those who initiate theme Low interest rates, confidence on the part of the taxpayers, active competition for the eityls business, more for our money - and a good name. Why do not all cities have a sound financial policy? Most of them have a good comptroller. We fear that there is a sufficient reason. Many of them are run by selfish politicians, theirs for the here and now* They want votes* Let the people of the future take care of themselves* What are we going to do first? Sidewalks, lighting, streets, drainage water, causeway, housing? These are only some of our necessities. We will work for them all and settle the one first to which we can first find ap satisfactory answer. We intend to move rapidly, but we won't be stampeded* We will not dispose of any of these with an inferior solution, just to get rid of theme As to all of these, we can afford and must have them, and we are paying for them and will pay for them whether we have them or not. We intend to cooperate with all county and state officials, in all matters of mutual Interests We will respect their positions and offices, and will receive _ the same courtesy from them. We will talk to theme freely - we will not talk a- bout them. We will cooperate with the Navy We want to make this a getter Navy town. 0 - -k < While we work on our necessities, we must coincidentally plan for our future* We will employ experts in many directions* They are indispensable. But if we let them do all of our thinking for us, they will wreck use For what is an expert? He is a man, who through technical training and experience, can show us all of the answers to any of the specifio problems with which we may be confronted, with the advantages and disadvantages of each, and what each will cost, and, finally, his recommendation as to the best one. He will make his conclusions simple so that you and I can understand. Since there is no expert who could possible be an expert in all fields, all of this finally will have to be consolidated with a good look at our pocketbook as we got We are not without imagination, any of us, but we need not waste our time on dreams of million dollar yachts if all we need or can afford is a first class motor boat - a good one* Playgrounds against jevenile delinquency, parks for health and for beauty, an airport comparable to our oity's present standing and future position, a city hall, a city auditorium - will the list never end? Of course nota We are a growing city. We are one hundred thousand now. We will soon be a quarter of a millions Today we have 600miles of streets* Do we want someday tb be a city, and a beautiful one? Are the things we want for all of us worth working for? Are you ready to help? For now we get back to the beginning. The city welfare is in the hands of its citizens. They get what they want if they want it*- All that any council can do is to implement the effort with good tools• Finally, public opinion will write the ticket* E We think we know what you want• If we are wrong, we won't work for you very long whether you want us to or not. But if, as we believe, the overwhelming majority of all of you are determined to end here with a city of which we can all be proud, in all respects, then mark my word, the day will comae and it will not be too far off when some of our big sister cities will be coming down to see us* They will wonder how we did it# and how we do it, and it will seem so ordinary and simple that they will say that anyone could have done it, and all of us -who were in on the "know" will smile* For we will know that the spirit of the people of Corpus Christi -did it and they won't be able to borrow that* So now for the ending* We have talked too much* This is a new experience for all of use Ve are not afraid of it and regardless of the outcome, we will always remember and be proud of the confidence you have shown in us and will do our level best*" Mayor Wilson recessed the meeting and ordered the Council to reconvene on Thursday, March 7, 1946, at 4:00 o'clock P.

We greatly appreciate the services rendered by you during the period the City was without a Council and recognize the fact that the absence of the Council gave you no real opportunity to demonstrate your capacity as city manager.

Truby and Yeager Morkin of Gulf Oil Corporation requested consideration -of the�retiewal of a lease on the Marine Filling Station they operate under R lease with the City, the expiration date being over a year hence, i.e., April 14, 1947* They requested the lease extension now because of a new booklet they are preparing on "harbors of the South", presenting pictures and write-ups of southern harbors* Mayor Wilson said the Council would be glad to consider the matter and suggested they meet with the City Manager and the City Attorney and present the matter to them. Ma-yror Filson then asked if there were any further matters, and Xr. Cox stated that the City had made a deal a long time ago with G. R. Swantner Investment Company relative to putting in water lines in San Diego Addition No. 20 in mhich the subdivider was to put up tao thirds of the cost, the City to do the work, and when the De- partment of Public Works certifies that the job is complete the escrow holder turns the money over to the City. Yx. Wilson asked for further information on this. Mr. Wilson said numerous inquiries had been made as to the excursion boat franchise, the harbor facilities, etc., and he suggested that all interested persons meet on a deslg.sted night at the T -head and investigate the matter thoroughly. 1.;r.

Graham, a local attorney, to serve as Judge of Corporation for the unexpired term of the office at a salary of $250 per month. All Council members voted "Aye" on the nomination, and Mr. Graham was duly elected. Mr. Wilson said that henceforth each Sunday morning the Mayor, City Manager, Assistant City Manager, or one of the Commissioners will attend the session of Corporation Court, together with one of the ladies who have agreed to serve as Friends of the Court. Mr. Wilson said a lot of hope is pinned to the action being had for attendance of the Court's sessions by the ladies of this city who are willing to serve with this Court. "Those of us who hold ourselves to be citizens of consequence, position, and intelligence need expect no favoritism from our Cor- poration Courti. I do want to say that the gambling and rackets going on in our City we consider just another problem in sanitation. There are no moral or ethical issues involved, but if we are going to clean up our city we have to clean up those issues too. We are delighted to announce the first lady to serve with the court -- Mrs. Richard King."

Wilson, Comanissioners Seale, Clark, Ferris, and Henry, and City,Manager Roderic Mayor Wilson called the meeting to order* Hr. Wilson said one of the important matters before us today is the question of the report submitted to the Coun- Oil at its last meeting by the Zoning and Planning Board, which included a recammendation for•new boundaries for the City This matter is, of course, of the utmost importance to our City. The purpose of this Planning C=nis- Dion is to establish limits so that in planning this city we could think of future parks, future playgrounds, proper arteries of traffic, and all those things without having to pay dreadful prices at a later date for some- . < thing which it would be relatively easy to aocomplish now* As we view our position in matters of this sort, where there is plenty of space for honest difference of opinion, we should endeavor to see that all sides of the matter are openly and publicly discussed, and .finally the citizens of the town --the majority of them --must determine the argument. With this in mind and knowing.that a few, and perhaps many, of the citizens would like to have an tunity to express their views on this important matter, the Mayor stated that'a hearing. would be held at 3200 p.m,0 Friday, June 7, 1916. The Mayor stated that any one present, who would not be present for the hearing, could be heard. A Mr. Clark said he would like to go on record as being opposed to the plan since he could not be present at the meeting Friday. He suggested that the matter be deferred for at least another twelve months and more time spent on the present City as it is now bounded. Mr. C. P. Kibby saids I have got 30 acres just outside of the City limits, and I am perfectly willing to coincide with all the suggestions as to increased City limits and go along with the others, but I do not want to be taken in unless you are willing to take in the industries along the Bay. If we are taken into the City limits, I think we thould have sewerage. and drainage, and I think I can speak for several other influential men. The Mayor asked Mr. Bibby if hie was not now in the City limits, and he o replieds "No, I an not** The Mayor sails "You understand that if 500 people petition the Council to bring in the heavy industrial district it can be done." Mr. W. B. Cooper said he was wholeheartedly opposed to being brougt into the City limits as he just wanted to be left alone on his little farm and admitted that he was looking at it from a purely selfish standpoint, just as the others were looking at the growth of Corpus Christi from a -selfish standpoint. Mr. Philip Schraub said he .thought the City should commence proceedings at once for the annexation of Westport and respectfully requested that an election be called for June 22, as set by Judge_ Browning, and, if not possible, for the City to permit a suit to be brought for injunction against a Westport incorporation eleetion, IL and asked that they have cooperation in having Westport issue brought to a head and successful annexation made to the City of Corpus Christi. Mr. Wilson said that if quick action had to control he thought it best not to enter Into a horse race plan as he felt this matter should settle itself by other methods rather than for.the City to race and try to get ahead of them by other methods• Wilson then said he understood that there was to be a group of ladies present who wished to appear before the il, and, if so, the Council would like to dear from theme at that time. Mrs. Armstrong Price sails "Mr. Wilec Is a representative here from each of the Garden Clubs as this is known as Church Circle Day of the Episcopa- r r 1 liar Guilds. We just`want you to know how much we appreciate what you are doing. This is not a meeting for crit1. - icism, but is a meeting of cooperation. We think you have splendid ideas, and we think we have some good ideas t The Garden Clubs have taken an active part in beautifying St. Petersburg and Miami Beach in Florida, and in Cali- fornia this is also true. They have weed control there with a fee of $1 per year per lot --and we+are comparable to these other states as to climate and location, and when we are straightened out we should be just as attractive to tourists. Not only is zoning necessary for these parks and playgrounds, but zoning is also necessary for the a pearance of the City. We must have weed control on the vacant lots. Mrs. Price insisted that Corpus Christi has to take care of the vacant lots first as that is the major problem. She said, We do not want in any way to dictat to a city or administration, but we do want to make our official requests at an official meeting. These women are responsible citizens; they are taking part in the developnent of this City; and we feel they should be recognized as such and that what they propose should be considered. Mr. Soepke of the Chamber of Commerce said: We are into: ested in making Corpus Christi beautiful as we can make' it$ abetter place to live in by beautifying it. We have in mind buying 1,000 oak trees and selling them to the people of Corpus Christi. We would like to see native shrubs planted as much as possible* We have the project met at $900 this year, and especially would like to see* the people not destroy any native shrubs. We would like to be a sort of liaison between the Garden Clubs and the City of Corpus Christi, The Mayor asked Mrs. Price if the Weed Control, when functioning at its best, would need one or more machines* Mrs. Price said six maohines were needed and also an active director* The Mayor said the neat matter before us is the approval of the assigning of the Jalufka lease, MCTIOX made, seconded, and carried that the City Council does hereby approve assignment from Mrs. R. B. Burow (Helen Jalufka) to M. G. Flynn of lease dated August 22, 1939, and effective as of January 1,-19W# which was originally made by the City to G. E.

Wilson, Commissioners Clark, Henry and Ferris and City Tanager, Roderic Be Thomas. Mayor Wilson called the meeting to order. Rev. E. E. Lewis, representing the citizens of Westport, appeared before the Council, asking that a petition for the annexation of Westport be acted upon as soon as possible. Mayor Wilson stated that this would be done. John Cuiper appeared before the Council relative to agreement with the City for water, sewer and gas lines to Subdivision which he is developing. He said he would be sats sfied with the same agreement as other Subdivisona had been given. He was advised trat the City Attorney would prepare such agreement and notify hum. Yr. Charles Lyman, speaking for the taxicab companies of the city, reported that at a recent meeting, all compani voted to ask the Council to amend the Ordinance covering operation of taxicabs, so that a raise in rate of 10 oen per mile for the first mile, could be pit into effect. Due to increased competition and consequent decrease in business and due to the fact that city limits will shortly be expanded, thus further cutting down revenue for all cab companies, Mr. Lyman stated that the companies felt the request 'was not unreasonable and asked for the con- sideration of the Council. Mayor Wilson said that it would be taken under advisement and more information from the cab companies would probably be desired. Motion was made, seconded and carried that Mr. Robert A. Humble be appointed to the Zoning and Planning Commis - Sion, to fill a vacancy caused by the resignation of Damon C. Brickley.

Wilson, Coprussioners Clark, Henry, Ferris and Seale and City Manager, Roderic B. Thomas. Mayor Wilson called the. meeting to order. Mrs. Swearingen appeared before the Council and stated that Judge Browning had offered a large tract of land on Elgin and Rogers Streets, which has been designated as park land to the City, which could be used as a site for the Negro Girl Is Home. If the land is accepted, the problem would be to get a building, as the Juvenile building there is in very poor condition. Certain barracks buildings being moved to Corpus Christi are available, placed on the foundation at approximately $5,000.00, but the sewer line is three blocks away. Mrs. Swearingen then advised that Mrs. Valenta had offered to sell the building now occupied by the City for this purpose for 09,000.00 furnished, or for $8,500.00, unfurnished. Unless the City buys, it will be required to va- cate by the 15th of July. In view of the above circumstances, the City Manager suggested that the City try to retain the present building. Mayor Trilsoa then asked if the County was willing to help purchase the building and Mrs. Swearingen said that she knew they were willing to donate land but did not know about money. A representative of the colored people then appeared before Council and stated that they have 0800.00 promised from their people, who wish to contribute to this project, and that they were willing to cooperate. It was sug- gested by Mr. Henry that the colored people furnish the building and that the City buy it. MOTION was made, seconded and carried that the City buy the present building at $8,500.00, providing the appraisal of competent realtors proves it to be a good investment. It was decided to have an appraisal of the furniture made and if it is worth the 8500.00, the fund collected by the colored people will be used to furnish the building.

It was suggested that the property owners pay 20� per front foot of this work, which is $20.00 per 50 ft. lot, and the City pay the balance and that this dust paliative work be started, block by block, as soon as deposits have been received from the property owners. Mr. Thomas emphasized that this is not paving, but that it resembles paving and is a reasonably inexpensive method of correcting the dust nuisance. The total cost of this work would amount to $136,000.00 and the City's portion of cost would be $76,000.00. The City Coun- oil approved the plan of this work and instructed the City Manager to proceed with it. Mr. Bob Sorrell appeared before Council to again urge their action in granting a raise in taxicab rates. Mr. Sor rell was reminded by Mayor Wilson that at the time of the drafting of the new taxicab Ordinance, it was agreed that rates were to be eliminated from the discussion, as it was the concensus of opinion that rates were high k enough.

MEMBERS PRESENT: Mayor Pro Tern Seale, Commissioners, Clark, Henry and Ferris and City Manager, Roderic B. Thomas Mayor Pro Tam Seale called the meeting to order. Mr. Allan Mote, City Controller, Mr. Roderic B. Thomas, City Manager and Mr. Wesley Turner, Director of Finance, spoke on different phases of the Budget. ` Mayor Pro Tom Seale then asked for expressions of opinion by citizens present at the meeting. Mr. Ed Williams asked whether the same rate of salary for common and skilled labor was to prevail in all Depart- ments. Mr. Turner advised that it was. Mr. Williams then stated that it would not work. He maintained that the men in the Garbage Department, who must work under more unpleasant circumstances, and at night, would not work for the same rate of pay as men in the Street Department, who work in day time. Mr. Williams further stated that the omission of two 'items in the Budget was a disappointment to him. First, the $2,500.00 reduction in the library funds. It is his opinion that the Corpus Christi library does not do credit to a town of 25,000 and in view of the population of this City, it looks like a step backward to reduce the li- brary budget. Mr. Williams stated that he believed that the $2,500.00 could be gotten somewhere. His second point of discussion was the deletion of the $3,000.00 allocation to the Texas State Guard. Mr. Wil- liams said, "I believe that the item should be put back in the budget and believe that this 'is $3,000.00 worth of insurance the City cannot afford to be without. Father Casper presented a letter to the Council, protesting the deletion of the $3,000.00 from the budget for the Texas State Guard. The letter was from Lt. Col. Arthur N. Johnson, of the Guard, and oalled attention to its use fulness in times of Cavil strafe, and tropical storms. It also stated that in the recent polio epidemic, the members of the Guard had worked twenty four hours a day for twenty eight days, without compensation. It request- ed that, in view of these facts, the allocation to the Texas State Guard be put back into the budget. Mr. Thomas then stated that the Texas State Guard had not made application for an allocation in the Budget and that he had tried on numerous occasions to contact Lt. Col. Johnson, with regard to this item and had been unable to do so. He then advised that the $3,000.00 would go back into the Budget. Lt. Col. Johnson then stated that the contribution to the Guard had always been automatic and the fact that it had been out off, sort of left them up in the air. He said they had been loyal citizens and it was hard to un- derstand. He then advised that the Armory had been accepted by the Adjutant General's Department and that they had been asked to carry on the State Guard, until such time as the National Guard comes into being. s Dr. Gordon Fisher commended the State Guard for their help during the recent polio epidemic. The American Legion also stated they had been of great help to them. Mr. Swearingen, of the Red Cross Disaster Committee then ex- pressed has satisfaction at the decision to reinstate this budget allocation. And Father Casper expressed his to sincere appreciation/the Council and the Manager for their cooperation. Mrs. Armstrong Price, of the Park Department Board, stated that for the best Park maintenance, this department needs two more laborers. She also requested that consideration be given to the opening of the Museum. She said "I don't believe that you realize you have about $10,000.00 worth of pictures there and, to keep it open we need someone there. I would suggest a girl, to help the Park Superintendent with keeping records in the morning. There are also many meetings which cannot be held outside, and I would suggest the use of this building for that purpose, until such time as a municipal auditorium can be built."

Thomas, Mayor Pro Tem Seale called the meeting to order. Mrs. M. G. Eckhardt read a letter from Miss Helen Coffin, in which reasons were given for the Library Board's re- quest for additional funds in the 191x6-47 Budget, for Library operation. She then stated that the Board would like to ask for the 625,500 originally allocated in the budget and that they be allowed to use the money accumu- lated by the Library through book fines, also which would make a total of $30;000.00. She said the Library could not stay open all day, and keep the bookmobile in operation without this additional money. Mr. Barge Holt stated that it dad not seem appropriate to him to include the booir fine money in the budget allo- cation. Mr. Gross then expressed the opinion that the request of the Library Board was conservative. "If we do not pro- vide Hinds, they cannot render the best service to the community. The book fines," he continued," are not fines in the sense that funds are collected in the Corporation Court, they are voluntary and I do not thank they should be used to supplement the budget. He asked if this fine money would be available to the Library in the future. Mr. Thomas then stated that no provision had been made, other than to turn the money into the General Fund, as other Departments are required to do with any income. He also said that they had given the Library the largest budget it had ever had and the biggest increases were in salaries}, at the recommendation of the Board and Mass Coffin. Mr. Gross then stated that the population of the City has doubled since 19W and that he dad not think it was fail to say that because we ask for a larger budget we are not entitled to it. We now have about 1}0,000 books and should have 200'000. We are operating at 0 .23 per capita and it should be 01.00 per capita. Mr. Thomas then said that the Library now had only $300.00 in the bank, as its surplus, when they should havemuch more. With reference to the budget increase he said the only way it could be increased would be to take money from some other department. Mr. Thomas said, "I did the best I could. Do not think I do not appreciate the oon- diditon the Library but I had the job of making these allocations. I am sincere when I say that the Library gat less of a out than any Department." Mrs. Eckhardt then said that the Library had always been conservative in its requests for funds and then the submitted figures of the request were out down to rook bottom and that in her opinion it was less padded than any budget of any department. Mr. Thomas said that he thought all departments were conservative in their requests and that none of them were F am "padded". 21r. Howell Ward spoke briefly in favor of increasing the Budget allocation. Mrs. Ed P. Williams, a representative of the Parent Teacher's Association, said that they would like to have the Library keptopen during the morning, so that it would be available to the children of the City. Mr. Seale asked how much additional money would be required for this purpose and Mrs. Eckhardt advised that Miss Coffin could get by on the $30,000.60. Mrs. Eckhardt stated that Mr. Thomas had thought they were "reconciled" to the original allocation, when he met with their Board, and that they had been, but they had not realized dust hoar much pressure would be brought to bear on them. There being no further business, the meeting was recessed. �( MAYOR TEM, City of orpus Christi, Texas ATTEST s City ecretary S PEC IAL MEETING July 18, 191x6 MENBERS PRESENT: Mayer Pro Tem Seale, +Commissioners Clark, Henry and Ferris and City Manager, Roderic B.

MOTION was made, seconded and carried that this hearing be granted at the next meeting of the Council. Mr. Horace Caldwell appeared before the Council, asking the City's cooperation in building of roads, which have recently come into the city, and for which money was originally set aside by the County. He stated that since the cost of construction had gone up, this cooperation would help him build better roads. The City was asked to bear a portion of the building expense on Gollihar Road, Minnesota, Ocean Drive and Carrol Lane. The County's p tion of the cost would amount to approximately $45,000 and the City's approximately 04,500.

The City Attorney stated that all contracts were checked on the basis of their status at the present time. He stated that the city was under no obligation to go forward on any of the contracts. That the Bayfront Improvement contract and Lipan and Ayres Street paving con- tracts were unenforceable by either the City or the Contractor, because the Council had failed to make an appropri tion of funds to pay the cost of the Cityts portion of the work; that the Shoreline Boulevard contract could be continued by mutual consent; and that the Morgan Street contract was still in a different category because the County was a party to the contract, and because of certain provisions in the City -County -Baptist Foundation con- tract, and no action should be taken without consulting the County. In answer to question by Mr. Wilson the City torney stated that Brown & Root, Inc., were aware of the defects in the contracts, and had been advised of the position of the City. Mr. Wilson stated that since the City was in a joint venture with the County on the Dorgan Street con- tract,, he was confident that the Council would not want to take any action until such time as they could confer with the County authorities. 10TION was made, seconded and carried that this action bedeferred, accordingly.

The City Attorney stated that "if the cemetery was properly located, when the area was taken into the City, there is nothing that can be done about it, and a cemetery which is located in accordance with the Statutes, may be extended. The cemetery in question was dedicated in 1939 and at that time they were far enough from the city limits to be legally located, therefore our Zoning Qrdanance is not affected." It was Mr. Cox' recommendation that the city remain neutral. Two citizens of the vicinity near the cemetery protested that the two entrances on Ocean Drive were unnecessary. They also stated that due to the heavy traffio to and from the Naval Base and with en- trances on the Santa Fe side and the Ocean Drive side of the cemetery, that it might prove to be a definite traf- flo hazard. 1 11 The City Attorney was instructed to find out facts concerning the City's position. 11 There being no further business, the meets ATTEST s City Secretary ourne4.

Henry dye The foregoing Ordinance was passed by the following vote: Robert T. Wilson Wesley Be Seale Aye John A. Ferris Absent George R. Clark Jr. lye R. R. Henry Aye NOTION was made, seconded and carried that August 27, 1946, be set as the date for a Hearing on the clos Ing of a certain designated right -of -sway located on the north end of the Gulf Breeze Addition, as designated in Volume 6, Page 36 of the Map or Plat Records of Nueces County, Texas, as recommended by the Zoning and Planning Commission. MOTION was made, seconded and carried that September 3, 1946 be set as the date for a Hearing on the closing of Oxford Street between Ti.mon Boulevard and Avenue D. on North Beach, as recommended by the City Zoning and Planning Commission. The City Attorney was requested to present the facts on the Petition submitted relative to Seaside Nemo - I real Hospital, at the meeting of the Council on August 1, 191x6. Mr. Cox stated that the Petition had two requestsz No. 1. "It requests that the cemetery be closed and bodies removed. Under the existing facts the City cannot, and I don't believe anyone else can, legally cause bodies to be removed. The Statute contemplates that this be done only when cemetery is abandoned and neglected and there is no perpetual care provided for. No. 2. The Petition further requests that the City take action to prevent expansion and further use of the cemetery. (a). The original Seaside Memorial Park Cemetery was legally 4stablished under the provisions of Art. 912-a. (b). Art. 912-a-24 provides, 'provided that when cemeteries have heretofore been used and maintained within limits hereinabove set forth, and additional lands are required for cemetery purposes, land adjacent to said cemetery may be acquired .... to be used as an addition to such cemetery, and the use of said additional land for such purposes shall be exempt from the provisions of this section.' (c). The Seaside Memorial Park Cemetery can legally acquire additional land as required. So, the only question involved is whether or not the additional land is required. The matter, in so far as the City is concerned, is a zoning problem, and when that area is finally zoned, then the City can control further expansion." Mr. Cox further stated, "The individuals can go to court and settle their differences* It is the mendation of the legal department that they do this, and that the City take no action. The only course of action for the City would be attempting to prove that additional land is actually needed, which is a question of fact and would be very difficult to establish." Dar. W. R. Reid, owner of the Seaside Memorial Cemetery explained the status of the property of the ceme- tery and adjoining property and said, "I do not think the persons were in good faith when they stirred up all these husbands and wives and sons and daughters, about the removal of these bodies. Why didn't they come to me?" Mr. Lutz then stated that they were mostly concerned with the expansion out into Ocean Drive and ^that no permit had been taken out for this expansion. "We want to stop the expansion. I have several plats from the County, which I think the Council should examine." The City Attorney then stated he did not thank that necessary, and that the City had nothing to do with it . After further discussion, Mayor Nilson then said that it appeared that the cemetery was legally located and properly dedicated and that he saw no attempted abuse on the part of the cemetery company. "It looks as if we are being asked, as neighbors, to look into something that is between the citizens and the oemetery company. " NOTION was made, seconded and carried that the City Council follow the recommendation of the City Attor- ney and take no action.

This Ordinance was to cause the removal of a owned by George T. Rogers Jr., at 114 North Chaparral. Mr. Lloyd Clarkson of the Public Works Department was asked to explain the status of the cases "Approximately a month ago Mr. Palmer, a Building Inspector, found a 12 x 16 foot building being co ed at 11LwN. Chaparral but could not find anyoneat the site, who was responsible and reported it to me. I found that Mr. Rogers was having it built and he would not say what it was for. No frame buildings are permitted in that area. I so advised him and thought he would comply with the regulations. A further inspection revealed the building to be completed. I left written notice on the 18th of July, stating that if within 15 days no move had been made to remove the building, it would be referred to the legal department. This, I did, when I found that no effort had been made to comply with city regulations." Mr. Rogers, the owner of the building, explained his position and said, " The only relief that I am ask- ing is that I be allowed to keep the building until such time as I can work out something that will comply with the city laws and on a reasonable business -like basis." Commissioner Clark made a motion that action be deferred until the next Council meeting, and it was se- conded and carried. The following bids were opened: Firm Browning-Ferris Machinery Co.

IDT ION was made, seconded, and carried that the contents of the letter be spread on the minutes of the City Council: "February 24, 1947 "Mrs. Robert T. Wilson Ocean Drive Corpus Christi, Texas "Dear Mrs. Wilson: "For us to enter into an elaborate and formal resolution of eulogy of your late husband would, we believe, be contrary to his wish. However, to remain silent, in the face of the great debt due his memory, would leave us derelict in our duty and violate our sense of gratitude and that of the citizens of Corpus Christi whom we represent. A multitude of those citizens, in private and in public, have paid tri- bute to him more fittingly and beautifully than is our ability to do. The senti- ment and feeling which prompted these tributes are our own. "To our finite minds it might not seem right to Mr. Wilson or to those he left behind that he should have to go so soon, when he had so much to live for, when the great adventures of life still beckoned and strenuous tasks challenged his courageous heart, but of that mortal man must not judge. He lived to finish much useful work and to see his fellow man enjoy its fruits, but he saw only the drawing of the plans and the laying of the foundation of the city of his dreams, and then his time ran out. Surely a kind providence will bequeath his noble spirit to other men and bring about a fulfillment of his vision. Certainly mortal man can pray for that. Ve are proud of having had the privilege of serving with Robert Thomas Wilson. His qualities of leadership and charactei are possessed by few men. His steadfast devotion to duty, his boundless enthusiasm, his intense love for the right and his courage to act on his finer impulses were and Shall continue a constant inspiration to use "In thinking of Mr. Wilson, we are ever appreciative -of your own great sacri- flcesand the brave spirit in which you have made them. As surely as you gave your son for the cause of war, you gave your husband for the cause of peace, and as they fell you did not falter but, being a good soldier, closed the rank and marched coura- geously on. We can wellprofit by your example. "To the living and the dead, we, with the grateful people of Corpus Christi, can only say - ` Thank you and God bless you.

WILSON Elevated to the highest office in the gift off' the City of Corpus Christi, - approximately one year ago, as a fitting recognition of his leadership in civic endeavors and ideals, he never allowed his interest in said City to flag. And, he was ready at all times to place at the behest of his fellow citizens, his brilliant talents and ripe judg- ment; T Especially did he spend his energies, to the cost of his life, as a tireless worker and distinguished leader within the field of philanthropy and civic endeavors, and thus gave to the City of Corpus Christi and its citizens prestige and honor; His passing has meant to the City of Corpus Christi a grievous loss, but we take heart in the conviction that the value of his serviceable career will endure as an inspiration to all who are bound together in the common endeavor to make Corpus Christi a greater city; ` We place this record of our affection upon our minutes, as a lasting memorial of his service and we offer it to his dear ones` as a solace bringing to them the assurances that the influence of their dear one lives on, As a`soldier in time of war, acid as a citizen and public official in the time of peace, he contributed much to the welfare of his County and City. All -in allhe led a fruitful life, a useful life, filled with service. He will be sadly missed, not alone by his family and friends, but by a host of people who were the beneficiaries of that service; Well may we quote the words of the poet: "Lire's work well done Life's race well run Now cometh rest." The Henry Cohen Lodge No. 790 of Imai Mith, therefore, inscribes this tribute on its minutes and sends a copy to his family with an expression of its deepest sympathy.

A recommendation for -the zoning of the area was -submitted to the Council by the Zoning and Planning Board. The Council- has given careful consideration to the recommendations of the Zoning and Planning Board, to the opinions as'presetted at the public hearing, and have individually and collectively applied our judgment to the question. We -feel that we have arrived -at an equitable solution, one which does away with many of the objections received -and at the same time provides facilities for the citizens who are now or who will be in the future residents of the area. A retail business area -has been provided on South Staples Street in what is known as the Critz Tract. -This area has been zoned as was recommended by the Zoning and- Planning Board:" A -'retail district'has been established on Alameda but has been moved_.way from the Minnesota intersection to assure safety of pedes- trian traffic at this street -'and to eliminate so far as possible -additional -automobile traffic and noise for school child—ren—going to Fisher School." The original applications provided for business on both the north and south_side "of Minnesota# We have 'zoned only an areanorth of Minnesota for retail business. -`The area there -provided is -the equivalent of the area recommended by the Planning Board, but it is in -one piece -and will be -used by both of 'the original appli- cants. It is -our opinion that the consolidation of this retail area in one tract is better for the progress and development of the City. Good zoning dictates --a' siffficient`retail-area be - provided to -'adequately serve the citizens- in the vicinity and- that -such' areae be- concentrated rather then strung out- in long stretches with frontage along 'prominent streets: - It- also requires that- adequate parking faci- lities be -maintained for the use of the people who patronize these stores. In both of these areas these demands are met.

Mayor Seale made the following remarks: April 8, 1947 LADIES AND GENTLM ENI Your City Council today taken over for the next two years with a clear mandate from the people to continue the business administration of this City that you have had for the pastyear. It is gratifying to all of us that the people of the town have stood by us through a very bitter political.campaign with only one thought in mind and that was to give to.the,City a clean business administration for the best interest of all the people. It is a most encouraging sign that the people as a whole have taken such a decisive interest in the affairs of the City and have determined that your City shall be taken out of politics and that no longer can political expediency be used to run your,town. It is especially most gratifying to know that the wives and mothers of the town have spoken so forcefully in the recent election and that their voice was a deciding factor in the election. The decisive manner in which the good people of the town exercised their right to vote will be an encouragement from here on to people who will be willing to sacrifice their time and effort to build the City and will be a deterrent to those who have believed that the only way to win an election is by controlled minority of votes, which is an evil that has now become unpopular and unprofitable. Y i- , We of the Council pledge to you our time and our energy in seeing that Corpus Christi is the kind of a town in which we all want to live and to urge you as citizens of Corpus Christi to continue to stand by us and to see that your City Government is removed from political patronage. In this way we feel that Corpus Christi will become a model city and a place of which we will all be proud. Let me urge all citizens regardless of their political affiliations to'join with us in solving the many problems that face us in the coming two years. No one of us on the Council has any ambition other than tomake Corpus Christi a better place in which to live.
