M. Present were Mayor Erwin, Commissioner Swanson, Commissioner Berg, City Manager Henderson and the Clerk. The following proceedings were had: Minutes of the last regular session were read and it was moved by Commissioner Swanson, seconded by Commissioner Berg, that the minutes be approved as read and the motion was carried by the follow- I ing Aye and No vote: those voting Aye being Mayor Erwin, Commissioner Swanson and Conunissioner Berg; those voting No, none. Public Hearing -- S. I. D. No. 413 Hearing on Resolution No. 953, which was adjourned to this date from the regular meeting of the City Commission on July 22nd, was resumed. Forty or more persons, all except two or three of whom were protesters against the proposed district, were present. Further review of this proposal made by the Conunission has shown that a number of protests that were originally filed against the proposed special improvement district were not considered as qualified protests because they were not made by actual owners of record but were made by contract purchasers or other persons who were actually the principal owners of the properties they represented by protest. Recognition of these protests would raise the total protest to represent much more than 40% of the total property in the proposed special in~rovement district. In view of these circumstances, it was moved by Commissioner Swanson, seconded by Conunissioner Berg, that the protests be declared sufficient and that proceedings toward establish- ment of the proposed S. I. D. No. 413 cease and the motion was carried by the following Aye and No vote: those voting Aye being Mayor Erwin, Commissioner Swanson and Commissioner Berg; those voting No, none.

The Commission instructed the Cit;y Hanager to inform Mr. Westlake that it does not look with favor on plats of such small area but that, if he would prepare an acceptable plan showing his proposed eventual development of all of his unplatted ground within the city limits and, in conformity with that plan, present a plat of that part of his land actually fronting on North 7th Avenue between Hemlock and Oak Streets, it would be looked upon with favor.
