regular meeting of the council, august 10, 1970, page three 1 ;Joe '1 I The City Secretary reported to the Council that Mr. J.L. Moore had been to City Hall twice to request that "Elmore Drive" be changed to "Lyndon B. Johnson Drive". Mrs. Worrell reported she had told Mr. Moore that the Council had taken that action in 1967, resulting in Mrs. Moore's appearing before the Council to strongly protest the change. The Council agreed by common con- sent to request Mr. and Mrs. Moore to appear together at a Council meeting, or to write a letter with both signatures, so that there would be no misunderstanding about the change of name. The Council considered a request from Browning Construction Co. to close Fredericksburg Street from Lindsey to Woods during erection of a university dormitory on Guadalupe and Woods Streets. Mr. Flores moved that the City close the street as requested for a period of six months, provided the contractor leave the street in the same condition in which he found it. Mr. Yarbrough second- ed the motion and on roll call, the following vote was recorded: AYE: Contreras, Craddock, Flores, King, Smith, Yarbrough, Zavesky NAY: None The Mayor declared the motion carried. Councilman King, who is serving as Chairman of the Beautifi- cation Commitee for the Chamber 6f Commerce, enquired whether the garbage ordinance designated placement of cans. He said he had had several enquiries from people who recommended that garbage cans be kept out of sight except during actual time of collection. The City Secretary said she would check the ordinance. I Mr. Flores opened for discussion the need to open Barbara Drive through for improvement of traffic flow. It was agreed by the Council that the City Manager would be requested to make a cost estimate of opening Barbara Drive through, and removing the cul-de-sac. on He to on I ~ Hollis ~LCl. ontrera~7'/'~ ~ ~'-- l- Emmie Craddock
