April 22, 19.'39
Mr. A. C. Bockhahn,
Acting Police Chief,
Grand Island, Nebr.
Sir:
Officer-Operators have been repor'ting recurring "fading"
and, at times, complete tempora.ry failure of transmitted signals
from the redio transmitter tnstalled in Mobile Unit #1 ('38 Fora
Secl'm, Lie. #13-2173). After eech report, I he.ve checked the entire
installation, end the re suI t of ee.ch checking points to a. weak-
ness in the generator, which s~lpplies the filament and plate
current.
.
I
I
I
.
{l} J~:::~
Checking of thp generator points to an open circuit, or
:Lntermi tt~mt open circuit, or break in one or more of the
armature coils. Such a condition seriously affects the ener-
gizing factor of the armature, and, consequently, proportion-
ately reduces the out-put of the gener~ltor.
T'nis generator was the first one installed, es a part of
the mobile unit, in March, 1937. Since that time it has been
installed in three natrol cars, and these cars hAve travelled,
with the generator being ,motion, also, for some 85,000 miles.
And, during this period, (3, Ii ttle over a yeer ago, both tr~ms-
mitting generators were overhauled, and restored to normal
efficiency.
The time he.s come for this generator, im1talled in Mobile
Unit #1, to be replaced, therefore, the undersigned recommends
that the purchase of one new generator, ESOO brand, Type S L 4,
constructed to produce, at one time, votlages of 12t and 550,
designed to power the radio tl'ansmitting sets, and installed
in the Police cars,--the cost being about $175.00 -- and the
shipping of the present genel'ator back to the factory for a
complete overhaul and re-building, in order that \,e might have
a reserve unit on hand, if and when the generator, in Mobile
Unit #2, should fail.
Respectfully submitted:
Wm. A. Barrett
Engineer in charge of Radios
To the Police Oommittee,
Gentlemen:
This report is respectfully referred to you for your con-
sideration.

April 28, 1939
To the Mayor and City Council
Grand IslBnd, Nebr.
Gentlemen:
Your committee on "Building Code" met and decided to
recommend that the Counci+ go on record as being unfavorable
to the idea of decreasing the amount of side yard reouired by
Section 3 of Zoning Ordinance No. 1585. They would be ~lad to
accommodate the building public but feel there must be a line
(" S' ()
~-; ~J ~)
drawn somewhere, and four feet is none too much for a side yard.
.
I
The very same people who would like to build closer to the
lot line in the case of a garage attached to a house would doubt-
less not be satisfied to have a neighbor build his garage within
a foot of the lot line on the other side. So, to make a change
would probably only add to our grief.
Respectfully submitted,

Gentlemen:
We, the members of the Police Committee, report that Police
Officers Ha;m and Schmer, recently reinstated as such officers, have
had previous experience as policemen: and that when last serving upon

have rendered good and efficient service: and that they are now entit-
led to receive the maximum salary for their services.

ience and good and efficient service that the salary to be paid said
officers be the maximum of $125.00 per month as by ordinance provided.

Honorable Mayor and Councilmen:
Regarding matters of meter equipment on taxicabs operated by
the Owl Taxi Co., and regarding matter of replacement of Taxi-Cab
badges.
Investigation developes that the Owl Taxi Company operates
only four cabs at any one tJa~. However in the cases where one
regular operated cab is putAo'f commission or is under process of
repairs, the permit is transferred from this car to another car
which is used only as long as the regular car is out of service.
Also incases of this kind the insurance is transferred from the
regular car to the temporary car.

City of Grand Island to furnish any "Curb and Gutter" districts un...
less the citizens in some part of Grand Island wish to have same
created. If the project is set up and has the approval of the WPA,
it puts us in a position to put men to work on any district that
makes application.

Regarding the Taxi-Cab badges. it is the opInIon of thls
Committee as well as City Attorney that badges are to be issued,
one for each permit, only when the permit is issued and they should
not be replaced except where the old badge is turned back to the
City Clerk in a worn out condition in which case the ctty should
replace at Citys expense. Badges are for matter of identification
of drivers of cabs and it is also agreed there should be only one
badge or each number in use or c:Lrculation and it would therefore
be impossible to issue duplicates or have two badges of the same
number in use even tho permit holder should be willing to pay the
extra cost.
It is sugGested party making request for badges be so advised.

Gentlemen:
This report is in regard to Lots 10 & 11, Campbell's Sub-
division of the City of Grand Island, Nebraska, which Lots are the
ories the City of Grand Isla.nd, contemplates securing for its drill
tower for City Firemen, and which Lots lie directly south and ad-
jacent to the Fire Station located on the south side of the City.
An examination of the records of the County Treasurer shows
that the taxes for 1938 due said County are $48.91, and that the
balance remaining for the last one-half of 1937 taxes a.re $25.79,
and that the total amount due according to claim filed by the
County Treasurer is $74.70.
An examination of the records of the City Treasurer shows
that the special taxes due on both lots for Paving Districts No. 86
and 88 amount to $1,336.95.
The amount of money that will have to be advanced at the
pr.esent. time is $74.70 to the County Treasurer, and the sum of
$10.00 which is the amount that must be paid to E. J. and Murray
Wo~bach, the lawful heirs of Emil Wolbach, deceased.
The Grantors of these two :Lots will not furnish an abstract.
From an examination personally made by me of the records of tl~
Register of Deeds of Hall County, Nebraska, a quitclaim deed for
said property should be made to the City of Grand Island, Nebraska,
by E. J. Wolbach and his brother, Murray. They alone are the only
heirs of Emil Wolbach, deceased, who have any interest in and to the
herein described property.
It is my opinion that there are no liens against said property,
except the taxes due the County of Hall for general taxes and the
amount herein set forth due the City of Grand Island, Nebraska,
for special assessments for improvements~ tlmt in all other respects
the title to said Lots 10 & 11 of Campbell's Sub-division is market-
able.

Also,it is recommended, these Signs, attached to the traffic
signal standards, on 2nd and 3rd streets, be repainted, since the
white paint, covering an older legend IINO L2FT Tum~fl has become so
worn that a part of the old legend shows thru clearly e:nough to
make the later (or present) legend almost illegible$
(2) A dangerous conr.l1 tion exists on Pine Street side of the
Court House Grounds. The slppe is comparatively steep from First
street to Court Street. Cars and trucks, 1"hen parked heading south,
if the brakes loosen tlv,;1r Grip, roll south on Pine and, usually,
run into the yard of some resident vd th consequent property damage..
This condition obtb.inillg more certainly, if the vehicle is parked
north of the bend in the street.. Tvvo such lfrun-aways II huve occurred
in th(; pust four months. Fortunately no very serious uamuge was
doneei ther time, but a couple of years ago damage was done to the
por'ch (ind foundation of the house at the southwest corner of Court
and Pine Streets$
In view of this situation, it is suggested that signs, bearing
the legend "P.i~RK PAHALLEL--SET BRAKES--TURN FRONT WHEELS TOWARD CURB"
be placed along this block, and on the side of the street mentioned..
Altho, there seems to be very J.-ittle, if any parking of vehicles
on steeper part of Court street leading east to Pi:ne Street, it might
be well to place a sign or two along that purt of the block to help
to avoid any future cOl"],tingency.

Gentlemen:
The City Treasurer auvi.ses me that on the 21st (lay of .tiut,ust.
1931, the Mayor' and Council passed Ordinance No. 1419 levying special
taxes to pay for the cost of sidevvalk construction ana assessed the
amount of $94.41 on Lots 1 and ~, Block 16, of Snimmer's il.ddition.
An examination of the record shows tllCit the North 44 feet of said
Lots 1 and ;(; are ovmed by Thomas Ii'. Kelly, the center 44 feet of said
lots are ownea b;y Bayard H. Paine, and that the South 44 feet of said
.lots are owned by C. H. Clark. The entire assessment should have
been taxed to the North 44 feet of said lots 1 and. ~ and the center
one-tl1il'd d.Jru. the south one-third of said lots should not have been
taxed at all.
In order to relieve the center one-thir'd and the South one-third
of said lots from the lien fixed by saiu O1:dinance, and in order to
place all of the lien on the north one-third of said lots, it will
be necessary that that part of Ordinance No. 1419 fixing said lien
be repealed, and tria t a new ordinance be passed assessing the entire
amount where it belongs. It will also be necessary that .the Council
sit at,ain as a Board of Equalization and deterItline said tax.
I, therefore, recommend tria t notice be 1;,i ven by the City Clerk,
as required by law and that the Council :sit as a Board of Ey'ualization
on the first day of November, 1939, and. adopt saiu resolution and
pass tile new ordinance which will be prepared.
Very truly yours,
