Communication was received from the Grand Island Central

The Finance Committee made the following report:
Feb. 20,1935
To the Ron. Mayor and City Council:
We, your Finance Committee, to
whom was referred the matter of further investi-
gation of so called marble a.nd dice tables report
as follows:
That there are at the present time approxi-
mately 110 tables in operat ion in the City of Grand
Island; that they are owned by four different operat-
ors, who have placed these tables in various business
houses and taverns and collect fees on txt basis,
50'% of receipts to the owners of machines and 50~
to the business place.
This committee considers these machines as
a game of skill, on the same basis as pool tables,
and therefore recommends that the City place an
occupation tax on said machines as follows, the same
to be collected by the City Treasurer:
$50.00 per year occupation tax for the
owner of 1 or more of these machines
for distribution; $2.00 per month per
machine to be paid by the owner or place
of business where the machines are set
and operated. Occupation tax to be paid
in advance, quarterly each year.
Said tax to be enforced by the Police Depart-
ment and credited to the Police Fund.
We further recommend that the City Attorney
draw up an ordinance covering the above charges and
also regarding the operating of machines, same as
applied to the operation of pool tables.

Airport Committee of City Council
Grand Island, Nebraska
Dear Sir:
Due to certain information relative to the future

of the Chamber of Commerce Aviation Committee at
the present time, it is deemed advisable by the
Board of Directors of the Chamber of Commerce to
withdraw their recommendation to the City Council
that The present airport be purchased at" this time.
May I please take this opportunity to express to
the Mayor and entire Council appreciation fur the
fairness and fine spirit that they have shown in
the matter of cooperation with the several civic
bodies who have worked with them in this matter.
We trust the same type of splendid dooperation
may perpetuate through the years to come in the
various matters that arise for the mutual benefit
of our City from time to time.
Respectfully,

reports:
July 1st, 1935
Mr. George Welch living at 1721 West Louise Street
has made application for water service to the above
property, and sinoe his oase is out of the ordinary,
I am bringing it to your attention for a deoision in
the matter.
There is no water main in front of Mr. Welch's
property on iLouise Street and there seems no chance
for some ti~e to come, that there ever will be, due
to the vacant lots on both sides of his property. There
is, however, a main on John street, wbich could be tapped
for bis use and a 3/4" pipe run to his property.
Heretofo~e Mr. Welch has obtained his water by an
electric ~p and small well, but he claims that since
the installation of the City's well a.t Ja.ckson and Anna
street, he is nol onger able to secure water from his
well.
In order to aleviate this situation, we would suggest
that Mr. Welbh be furnished service from John street
until such ~ime as a main is laid in Louise Street past
his propert~ and that the water department lay a 3/4"
pipe to bisproperty at our expense, Mr. Welch to pay
for tap, meter and minimum at the regular rate.
C. W. Burdiok
On motion of Krehmke the repor~ wf Mr. Burdick's was

July 1st,
~ small Ford Pickup truck, which has been
in continuqus use in the Line Department since Maroh

further is 'not justified.

Grand Island, Nebr.
Nov. 6th, 1935
I
The Oo~ncil met in regular session, allmembers
present at roll call.
Minute~ of the meetings of October 16th, 31st
and November 4th, were fead and approved.
I
The fo~lowing petition Was read:
I
!
To the Hon. Mayo~ and City Oouncil
of the City of Grand Island, Nebraska:
Your petitionek, the School District of Grand Island
repsectfully req~ests permission to remove the sidewalk,
as it now is on the North side of 9th street in the block
immediately Westlof the Walnut Junior High School, to
place it approxi~ately next to the curb and to enclose
that part of the: parking north of the sidewalk.
I
Our reasons fOf desiring this done are as follows:
1..This proper~y, the entire property, being the South
half of the bloc~, is owned by the School District and
used as a play gtound. From our experience, it will be
impossible, if tfle parking be separa.ted from the play-
ground, to keep ~he parking in a sightly condition.
i
2. Our playgr~und space is rather cramped, and we
will by doing thfs be able to add a few feet to the play-
ground space. :
,
In th s connection, while not an ad.van~,?-ge to the
School District'iwe desire to call your attention that
this has been li~ted as a PWA project and will furnish
labor for peoplel in need of work in the City of Grand
Island. It willi be done without cost to the School
District. Therefore, it seems to us that our request
should be grante~ unless there are some serious objections.
The objection~ tha..t will occur to yourselves, no doubt,
are as follows: !
, .
1. That it will create a jog in the line of sidewalks.
Our answer to th~s is that the intersection on both ~he
East and West ofithis half block are paved, and this jog
will not in any ~anner inconvenience pedestrians, because
they can still gr from one sidewalk to the other, without
getting into mud. So there will be no added inconvenience
to pedestrians, ~xcept the extremely trifling inconvenience
of the two or thtee additional feet which they would. have
to walk on a diagonal. In this connectton, the North side
of 9th Street i~ very little travelled except by children
going to and fro~ school, since' it goes in a generally
Easterly and Westerly direction, whereas the North and
South side streets toward town are much more heavily travelled.
i
2. The seconf possible opjection is that it might be
detrimental to t e appearance of that part of town. In that
respect we call our attention that a disorderly cutup and
beaten dwwn park"ng, where it is impossible to grow grass,
owing to constan~ number of children who will be running
I
!
.
I
I
I
.
'^" 0 .~
h .~ fit
~} q,J u
across it, will be much more unsightly than having
I
this sidewalk! out of line.
3. The third possible objection which may occur
to us is that! it will be creating a precedent. That
objection can! be easily met with the suggestion that
this is publi~ property and not private property, and
the fact that! for public use and public benefit you
placed it out! there, will not in any manner obligate
you, if a private person wants to place it out there.
As you know, tublic interest is entirely different than
private inter$st..
i
You realize! that the time when this work may be done
this fall is rapidly passing, and may we ask you as a
favor, not on~y to ourselves, but tm the possible work-
men who could! be employed on this job, that we have an
answer immedi~tely. We are asking that the matter be
referred to tne Street and Alley Committee in advance
of the meetin~ on the night of November 6th so that
before our re~resentatives appear before your body
the evening of November 6th, your Street and Alley
Committee wilf be in position to recommend to the
Council that request either be granted or denied.
Respectfully submitted,
