Dear Mr. Barbarick:
Due to the illness of our Secretary, Mrs. Kelly, I am answering your
letter of Januar'y 13, 1956, for the Commission. After considerable
discussion regarding the extension of the present city limits the
Planning Commission agrees unanimously that they would like to
suggest to the City Council that it is the consistently held opin-
ion of the Planning Commission that any City Council must contin-
ually extend its boundaries in accordance with the appropriate
statutes, as adjacent areas develop, or are ready for develop-
ment. Furthermore, they do not feel that public hearings, con-
dLwted by them, can serve any useful purpose in discussing a
question that should be SimplY a matter of consistent action by
the proper elected municipal authorities.
I wish to thank you for considering the Commission in this very
important undertaking, as far as our City is concerned.
Very truly yours,

transfer of the Beer and Liquor License of Henry Scheel, to transfer
application to 1803 IN. N. Front, stating that it being an industrial
area, zoned as such, that he felt that the transfer should be granted.

this place, and Reverend Nelson from the. church 511 N. Broadwell
gave protests. Mrs. Bishop 1400 W. North Front stated her reasons
from the experience that they had had on account of the license in

voted unanimously against the issuance of the license.

possibilities of drunken driving, and the traffic on that street
being heavy, childred passing by the liquor store going to and from
school, she was very much opposed.

of the transfer. Mr. Martin, however, stated that the council usually

In re: Lewis Cole Claim - $115.40
Dear Mr. Barbarick:
I
.
I have investigated the mishap to Mr. Lewis Cole's automobile
on December 28, 1955. I find that a two hour parking sign recently
installed in front of the ~sland Theater on West Fourth Street broke
loose from lts footing and fell, causing damage to Mr. Cole's 1955
convertible Ford. An estimate has been received from Diers ]viotor
Company in the amount of $115.40. In talking with Mr. Cole, I find
that he has not had his car repaired and wants us to pay this money
to him direct.
I feel that the City of Grand Island i.s liable as i.t VJould
appear that the sign was not prop~rly ihstalled, however, I would
recommend that the claim be allowed only after Mr. Cole has repaired
his'automobile and the money be paid to whatever company does the
work.

Grand Island, Nebraska
In re: Floyd Stout vs. City of Grand Island
Dear Mr. Barbarick:
As you know, Mr. Stout filed a compensation claim against the
City of Grand Island in the Workmen's Compensation Court of the State
Nebt-aska. Mr. Prince and myself were retained to represent the City
of Grand Island and the case was originally held in the Workmen's
Compensation Court. They denied the claimant compensation on the
basis that he had not established that he had had an accident while
in the course and within the scope of his employment. Mr. Prince is
out of the City and Mr. Grimminger, who rep~esents the Plaintiff was
most anxious to get t.his matter tried so we took it up with the eourt
today. I am happy to report that the District Court of Hall County,
Nebraska, affirmed the discussion of the Workmen's Compensation Court
and held that Mr. Stout was not entitled to compensation. Had Mr.
Stout been entitled to compensation, it would have involved an expense
('!: Q ')
Uv,.j
of several thousand dollars.
Thank you for your courtesy of l$tting me represent the City
in this matter.

Gentlemen:
We have examined the building owned by George and Bertha

22 feet of Lot 1, Block 54, Original Town. The bul+ding is
occupied by Seferino Ramirez and is operated under the name of All
Nations Tavern.
We find this building structurally unsafe due to the
following conditions.
f"(\"

1. The foundation crumbling and falling into the cellar.
2. The wood girders, floor joists, lower part of studd-
ings and floor weakened by rot also infested by

3. The building is badly out of plum and the top of the
building leans several inches to the south and west.

official Building Code, prohibits the repair in any manner any frame
building or structure located within the fire limits that is

I

as follows:
March 19, 1956
The Mayor and Members of the City Council
Grand Island, Nebraska
Gentlemen:
On December 7, 1955, I appeared before you to discuss the poss-
ibility of rearranging the location of parking for the Grand Island
Transit Company busses. I appeared on behalf of Mr. James A.
Michelson who owns the building at the northwest corner of the
intersection of 3rd and Pine Streets. The Council referred the
matter to the City Manager with instructions to consult with the
Grand Island Transit Company concerning the advisability of any change
in bus terminal parking. Several subsequent meetings were had by me,
1":/,' ,)
I, ~ .,
Mr. Barbartck, Mr. James Camaras, and Mr. George Camaras, to work
out some bus parking plan which would meet with the full approval
of the bus company and meet the convenience of bus. patrons in
Grand Island. It appears that such an arrangement has been worked
out.
.
I
The proposed bus terminal parking plan would park an eastbound
bus on the south side of.the Michelson building, facing west. 1'his
bus would have the Veterans Hospital as its destination. A second
bus would be parked on the north side, at the corner, of the
Wolbachs store building. This bus would have the Soldiers and
Sailors Home as its destination. A third bus would park on the
south side of Dr. Robert Geer's building, where the Crown Finance Co.
is located, and its destination would be the St. Francis Hospital.
I have personally talked with all of the owners and tenants at
these three corners. Mr. Rauch stated that he would. be pleased to
keep the buses at 3rd and Pine and is agreeable to a bus parked at
the corner on Third Street. Dr. Geer and Mr. Gilliland were both
agreeable. Mr..Gus Katrouzas was not pleased with losing the
"Loading and Unloading" parking space in front of the Coney Island.
It is suggested that this "Loading and Unloading" parking space
could be moved from in front of the Coney Island to the first
space north of Third Street on the east side of Pine Street.
We submit this suggested plan for bus terminal parking to the
City Council for its consideration'and approval.
ACM/j
Very truly yours,
s/Arthur C. Mayer

After some discussion, on motion of Toft, seconded by
Cunningham, was referred to the incoming Council for action at their
earliest convenience.
Request from the Grand Island Transit Company by George Camaras,
Jr., in which he stated that one of their'routes showed a loss of
$2,360.16 from January 1st, 1955, to December 31st, 1955, and
requested that the Council give permission to discontinue this route
which is South Locust and Northeast tloutes. After some discussion,
on motion of Toft, seconded by Cunningham, was referred to the
incoming council.
David ROUSh made request to the Council that the proposed new
I
.
type mail box instead of being placed along Locust Street apposite
Elk's Lot, be placed on the south end of the Elk's Lot, stating that
the same had been O.K.'d by the Postmaster. City Manager advised
that he had been informed by the Postmaster that they desired the
mail closer to the Post Office. No positive action taken.
Chief Evans advised the Council pertaining to the action that
had been taken in other cities pertaining to home inspection. After
some discussion, Motion by Winkhoff, seconded by Martin, that the
council approve the suggestion of Fire Chief Evans that we have fire
inspection of homes with the consent of home owners or residents.

Gentlemen:
We, the Fire Department Committee, recommend that the hall and
upstairs rooms of the South side Fire Station be repainted and
varnished.
In our opinion, this is something that needs our utmost attention,
as it definitely leaves something to be desired in the way of
appearance to the fire department and the city in its present
condition. The paint and varnish were purchased some months ago
by the city, but the necessary labor was never supplied. We also
feel that the painting contractors of this city should have the
opportunity to bid on this work.
We also recommend that the city engineer draw up the necessary
specifications, and that the city clerk advertise for sealed bids
to be. opened at our next meeting May 16, 1956.

Gen t lemen :
I
In regard to the application of Mr. Clem Szafrada to conduct
public dances in the dance hall known as Pleasure Island at 716
North Cherry Street, Lot 1, Block 8, Voit1es Addition and owned by
Charles Lesh.
This building was inspected and we found that maJ;1y leaks have
developed in the roof causing the plaster on the ceiling to loosen
in several places, making the hall unsafe to be used for the purpose
of holding public dances.
We recommend that the necessary repairs be made on this
building before a license be granted.
sj R. V. Evans
Fire Chief
sj E. L. Walker
Chief Building Inspector
After some discussion, Mr. Walker suggested that there might
be a weekly permit issued, which would necessitate weekly inspection,
but he felt there should be no long time lease. Motion of Brown
that no dances be held in the building until the roof and plastering
I
.
was improved. Mayor declared the motion cancelled for want of a
second. The present Lease expires the 30th of May.

We the undersigned members of your Police Committee have been
advised that the Chief of Police and the Assistant Chief of Police
have 'investigated the possibility of discontinuing the through
street on Pine from 2nd Street North and placing the Stop Signs
along Sycamore Street from 2nd Street North, making Sycamore a
through Street. By doing this it would tend to channel traffic
to the underpass and would also relieve some of the congestion on
Pine Street.
We wish to recommend that steps be taken at once to make this
change and that the Chief of Police be instructed to publish the
necessary news stories in the paper and Radio Stations.

Letter from Planning Commission
May 23, 1956
To the Honorable Mayor and City Council
Grand Island, Nebraska
.
I
Gentlemen:
Below is the City Planning Commission's decision in regard to
spot zoning on South Locust Street (921 South Locust):
1. That in principle the Planning Commission is op-
posed to spot zoning.
2. That proper zoning is determined more by the street
than it is by the property itself.
3. The Planning Commission feels that the present
and future use of Locust Street from the ~outh
City limits north to Highway 30 logically calls
for a Business "A" Classification.
4. We, the Commission, think this area should be con-
sidered as a unit and any request for rezoning should
be handled this way.

The Finance Committee, to whom was referred the petition from a
large number of City employees for a 40-hour week, in lieu of a

City due to increased efficiency, and will undoubtedly boost the
morale of the employees. This will not apply to Department Heads

Dear Mr. Mayor:
I
The request for limited parking south of Koenig on Locust street
was investigated by the Traffic Committee.
We are pleased to submit the following report:
We recommend that 1 hour parking signs be placed along the east side
of Locust Street from Charles to the service station driveway at
Koenig and Locust. Also that area along the east side of Locust
Street 60 feet north of Koenig be signed for 1 hour parking limit.
It is the feeling of the committee that due to the type businesses
along this street that the 1 hour limit would be the best, it will
conform to other sign limited spaces in the City. Also that the area
north of Koenig except that part mentioned in the recommendation needs
no limit as there are no businesses there that are effected by
unlimi ted parking, that the west side of Locust Street from Division
to 1st Street be left no parking because of the amount of traffic
and the conjestion there.
Attached is a diagram of the area with the recommended changes
marked in red for your convenience.

Resolution passed by Council September 19th on one-way streets, he
representing Paul Frauen, Carpenter Oil Company, Jack's Tire ShoP and

Home Rule Charter, regarding a public hearing before they made the
Resolution effective. After oonsiderable discussion, Mayor and all
Councilmen taking part, Mr. Clayton advised Mr. Elson that it would
be at least six weeks before they would have signs ready for placement.
Personally he felt that publio hearing would be of no benefit, but if
it was the decision of the Counoil, there was plenty of time within
that period for public hearing. MG~i~~6Ccon~ss
tba-t-thA opponents be given a hearing if it were possible within-the--
n~s1x weeks. (See correction, October 17, 1956)

Oct. 17, 1956
Hon. Mayor and City Council,
Grand Island, Nebraska
Gentlemen:
Some time ago, contract was entered into with Ward's Accounting
Service for making an audit of the Cemetery Permanent Care Fund.
At that time, Mr. Ward quoted us figures on two options, one for
$295.00, and one for $445.00. The one for $295.00 was accepted,
contract executed and work started on the audit.
I
It now develops that in order to divulge the particular
information that we definitely need from this audit, it is desirable;
in fact, imperative, that a much more detailed audit be made in this
instance, and we therefore recommend that the other option, at the
quoted price of $445.00 be accepted, and new contract be entered into
with Ward's Accounting Service accordingly.

The matter of a charter convention was referred to myself and
Louis Holmes, the City Attorney, to report back to this body. Mr.
Holmes reported at a previous meeting, and I would like to make an
official report at this time advising that in view of the fact this
matter must be submitted to the voters of the City by petition of at
least ten (10%) per cent of the electors of the City, and in view
of the fact that our regular election is only a few days away, I am
suggesting that the matter be held in abeyance by myself and the City
Attorney until after the next regular election, November 6, 1956, at
which time I would be glad to make a final recommendation as to the
disposition of the matter.

The Mayor presented the ruling regarding Council members and
pressure groups.
(COPY)
~
I
It has become necessary to make a ruling from the chair. It is
evident that pressure has been exerted on one of the minority voting
members of this body. Yesterday, one of the minority voting members
advised me, he was going to vote to dispense with the rules on the
2nd and 3rd readings of this ordinance, yet when he arrived last
night he stated he had received orders to vote against it.
It is self evident therefore that with pressures and influence
being built up from outside the council, it is important that such
tactics are not allowed to invade the decorum of this council. The
people of Grand Island, I am sure by this time are aware of such
concerted attacks on the previous Mayor Council System and the
previOUS City Manager system or forms of government.
I am further satisfied the people are tired of special interests
giving orders and exerting pressure on their duly elected
representa~lve body.
It will therefore be the ruling of this chair that when there
is a personal attack upon the chair or any other member of this body
while the council is in session; that such matter shall be
immediately investigated before further action and under Article 4,
Section ~ of the charter, the council shall take testimony under
oath to expose the full and complete matters and shall peturn its
findings to the Council floor for further action and any further
action for contempt of the people's legislative body or coercion
therewith shall be prosecuted to the limit of the law.
Motion of Gross, seconded by Zachry, Council adjourned to 7:30
