Pdacken, Jr., Chief of Police, said enforce- ment of any such law would be very difficult since the interpretation of tahat constitutes obscene material can be ruled in many different ways; he said most of the literature carried on newstands in the City is also sent through the mails to individuals subscribers, so apparently meets government standards.

W. ; he said he did not attend the meeting and thought matters -like this should be broughtbefore the Council as a whole at their official meetings 1n the Council Chambers; he said -he was ready to meet at any time and felt there might be a need for Aldermen to meet informally among themselv to discuss city matters but thought there was no need for the meetings -with special groups.

This lot would extend for 80 feet along llth Street and be 150_feet in depth. It is my desire to build a home on this property. Apparently llth Street Southwest was originally platted in this area to be 75 feet in -width. However', the actual traveled and paved portion of llth Street, now -in use, is only approximately 30 feet, all of which is located in the south half of llth Street as platted. It is now possible to obtain access from the property I propose to purchase to the traveled portion of llth Street over an existing driveway together with a drive which would have to be constructed. The topography of the area, however, is such that if the City were to develop the full width of llth Street, as dedicated, it would be impossible to maintain access to the street. In addition, the esthetic value of the property would be greatly reducted. I am writing this letter to inquire whether or not it would be possible, at this time; to ascertain the likelihood of llth Street Southwest being developed to its full platted width or developed in a greater width than now being employed. I am enclosing a copy of a Land Survey and Topographic Map which illustrates the situation that I discussed in this letter. I would appreciate your referral of this letter to the appropriate committee or -advisory board and would appreciate the opportunity to ,meet with such group to discuss this matter.
