RE PARKING & STREET OP�NING
Mr, Carl Williams spoke in approval of parallel parking in all sections of the

�r Mr,, G=r.:av.�.rOaks, speaking from the floor, was not in fav�r flf parallel park-
/ �� ing on Yuba Street fr�om the railroad tracks ta Court Street, stating this questian
had been settled by referendum many years ago.
Mr. Williams further approved the extension of Court Street south, advising
that property in the area could be purchased for approximately $125, 000. 00
�l� and that sales tax-wise, and property tax-wise, this would be a good invest-
ment for the City and open up a large area as commercial property. He
rec�mmended that council appoint a committee of their own group to study
the problem.
There was considerable discussion on Court Street as an alternate truck route,
with the State to share in the maintenance cost; Director of Public Works Marron
