Overriding that objection, | however, he joined councilmen Grillon' and Sweeting, sponsor of the “benefit to tax-dodgers’ legis- ! lation” votes for the measure to pass. Councilmen Brinton and Car-| ;bonell were absent from the meeting. Mayor Willard Albury appear- ted before the council and asked jthat former communications to the body concerning anti-bird shooting legislation and a “paint- up, clean-up” drive, be acted up- on. Councilmen indicated that they would cooperate in commit- tee action soon. An effort by the WPA to have |the council supply seeds fot another Garden project here, met with an unfavorable vote. Mayor Albury announced that he could no longer furnish police- men to enforce collection of oc- cupational licenses. Council de- | cided to wait until December Ist before instituting further steps to enforce collections. Resolution reducing the Trum- bo Properties, Inc., assessment to $60,606, to insure fulfillment of a promise made previously to co- owner T. E. Price that city taxes would be no higher than $2,500, received ,a favorable vote. One of six councilmen who entered into the previous “gentleman’s agreement”, councilman Sweet- ing, violated that promise by i ;passing his vote on the sub-/ stantiating legislation. Council | president Freeman voted against it. He was not one of the six. Other matters handled by the council last night included: Denial of petitions to allow homestead exemptions to late applicants. Investigation of three street lights, for report at a later meet- ing as to replacement. Denied Saunders’ Wholesale Company reduction of assess- ment from $2100 to $1000.
