Rowe of 618 West Babcock appeared before the Commission again protesting the passage of Ordinance No. 735 amending Ordinance No. 711, making the south half of Block F, Story Addition a part of Business-Residence District No.2. Mr. Rowe stated that he and his neighbors had built their homes in that vicinity, ex- pecting the city to protect them from interferenoe by commercial or business enterprises and that they would much rather see some new homes built, rather than to make the place a business district. Mrs. Alex Swanson of 608 West Babcock, who was present, stated that she had signed two petitions protesting the proposed boundary change and nothing had been done about it. Mayor Healy advised both Mrs. Swanson and Mr. Rowe, that the matter would be acted on just as soon as possible after all interested parties had been given a fair hearing.

Bohart - Vacating two streets and alley W. O. Bohart appeared before the Commission, stating that he would like to have Pear Street from K to Land K Street from Pear to Cedar vacated and also the alley in Block 86. The Commission informed him that he would have to have a petition in writing, describing what is to be vacated so that it could be acted on at the next regular meeting of the Commission. He was also advised that if these streets and alleys were to be vacated, the adjacent and included lots and blocks should also be vacated. Overtime Parking Monte Shauer and M. P. Shauer appeared before the Commission regarding overtime park- ing in the business district. Mr. Shauer stated that at different times it has been im- possible for them to load or unload because cars have been parked in the yellow space and allowed to remain longer than the 20 minutes parking time prOVided by ordinance and several times such cars have been there all night. He also stated that the Police were not tagging certain cars but were allowing them to over-park and that such privileges were being given to certain people. He was informed by the City Manager that no privileges were allowed anyone and Mayor Healy suggested that he get a "No Parking" sign and place in front of his place of business, which he thought would probably take care of the situa~ ation. He was requested, however, to first submit any such sign to the City Manager for approval before attempting to use it.
