Upon Roll Call vote all seven Councilman present voted in the affirmative -and motion was declared carried. Curfew Ordinance Consideration In accordance with the action taken by the Council at the last regular session the matter of consideration of an up to date Curfew -Ordinance for this city was taken up at thi time. Upon request by Councilman Gleason, City Attorney Williams read aloud the Curfew - Ordinance now in effect. Councilman Gleason stated that his purpose in asking for said reading was to show that the provisions thereof were not applicable to present day condi- tions. Councilmen Steele, Mueller, and Paddock each spoke briefly upon the subject expressing themselves to be in favor of reasonable Curfew regulations; and many of the spectators pre- sent, including several high school students took part in the discussion which followed. It appeared to be the general consensus of opinion among those present that a reasonable Cur- _ few• would not work Any hardship or injustice upon those who conduct themselves properly but rather that it would afford them some protection. 'Khen discussion appeared to be lagging Mayor Pro-tem Sullivan stated that the subject would be open fa, discussion again at the next regular session at whb h time the Council would have available forms of such ppOrdinances now in effect in -other cities of the '3tate. Re Construction of Curets and Gutters Councilman Gleason introduced the matter of the possible construction of additional curves and gutters along City Streets stating that it had been bell demostrated by the project recently completed that such improvement is highly desirable and that in view of the additional labor now available by reason of assigment of workmen drawing reli6f to the City for work upon the streets it might be possible to develop a project whereby owners of abutting property would pay the cost of materials required and labor be provided from spurt mentioned. City Engineer .loner advised the Council that the number of woricens available from day to day was very uncertain and it would therefore be difficult to set up jobs for the purpose resolved by Councilman Gleason. This matter was referred to the Street Com- mittee, Street Supt. Lyall Arey and City Engineer Keith Jones for consideration and later report.
