Motion seconded by Councilman Stake, and unanimously carried. APPLICATION FOR LICENSE TO SELL 5% BEER AT RETAIL BY THE PACKAGE: This nmtter was reviewed by the City Manager, and he stated that he had sent supplemental information on this matter to the Council last week. He said it is his understanding of the law that the sale of 5% beer by the package is not subject to any distance regulations, which was one of the points raised by a member of the Council during consideration of this matter at a previous meeting. Councilman Soule moved that the recommendation of the City Manager be approved and that a license for the sale of 5% beer at retail, by the package, be granted to Mr. Harold Firestone, owner of Firestone's Cash Market, 7200 Balson, pending payment of any unpaid fees or taxes, l~otion seconded by Councilman Stake. At this juncture, Mayor Kaufman inquired whether the applicant is pre- sent, to which there was no reply. Upon vote, the motion ~as unanimously carried. WEEKLY FIRE DEPARTMENT P~POP.

PROPOSED INSTALLATION OF SIDEWALKS AT NORTH At~ SOUTH ROAD AND PEACH TREE City tianager Henry stated that he had received a letter today from Mr. Ralph Duke, builder, indicating that Mr. Duke wishes to install sidewalks abutting his property at North and South Road and Peach Tree Lane - approximately 170 feet. Due to the fact that the buildings are multiple family units, it is somewhat difficult to maintain a tree lawn when there is a considerable amount of parking next to the curb, the City Manager said, and it is his thinking that if Mr. Duke would be willing to construct a sidewalk 6-feet wide, it might be acceptable as far as maintaining pedestrian safety and still keep the premises neat-looking, although the Council has maintained a policy of requiring a 4½-foot tree la%~. where the proper right-of-way is available. Upon inquiry by Mayor Kaufman, the City Manager answered that he has not had an opportunity to review this matter with Mr. Duke. Councilman Soule suggested that this matter be placed on the regular agenda for consideration next week. This was satisfactory to all members of the Council, and so was the order.
