The City Attorney was asked to draw up a contract for McCammon- Wunderlich Co. MR. E. BRONDOLO appeared before the Council in connection with the trailer•park he plans to build. He was informed by the Council that the Town Trailer Ordinance required a six foot fence around the entire property. Mr. Brondolo said he planned to fence the east side of the property, along the Southern Pacific R. R. tracks, but that it would be difficult along Abbie Street because of the trees already there. Mr. Brondolo was advised to contact the Building Inspector in an attempt to solve this problem. Mr. Brondolo was also advised that he would have tc install a separate electric service, as the wiring in the Mecca Cafe was too old to carry the additional load. MR. PERRY of the Pacific Gas and Electric Company was present for the second reading of the Gas and Electric Franchises, MR. PETER MADBEN °arcs present to protest the granting of these franchises. A communi- cation was read from Mr. Clarence Creel, protesting the granting of these franchises. Mr. Perry explained the reasons for the Pacific Gas and Electric Company's request for the franchises and the benefits which would accrue to the Town. Due to the fact that there had been protests, the Council deferred the reading of these franchises until their 114610geting, to give the public time for further consideration. MR. JOHN DEETZ asked the Council for the reasons behind the decision to hire a Direc- tor'of Public Works. COUNCILMAN HANSEN spoke of the time expended by Councilmen in trying to conduct the Town's business and the fact that this had been a decision reached after studying the situation for more than a year. MAYOR TRIMINGHAM outlined the probable duties of the position and pointed out that it was an economy measure for the Town. Mr. Trimingham stated that Mr. Oxsen had been asked to accept the position as he seemed to be the man most qualified for the job, having had to assume many of the duties during his term as Mayor. MR. MATT JORGENSEN expressed his opinion of the need for help in the Clerk's Office; he also expressed appreciation for the work of the Council members, who give freely of their time in order to attend to Town business. MR. OTHO KEEFE said he was in favor of the move, and felt that the Council should be able to employ all the help necessary to get the Town's work accomplished. MR. JOHN DEETZ thanked the Council for the clarification given the townspeople present, and asked that he be'allowed to withdraw his objections. MR. JOE AVILLA asked what was being done by the Council regarding the complaints about the odor from the chicken farm on Vineyard Avenue. Mayor Trimingham reported that the matter had been brought to the attention of the County Health Department for investi- gation. MR. JOE ANSELMO asked about the run -off water on Vineyard Avenue, which each year over- flowed on private property. He was referred to the County, as this water does not originate inside the City limits. MR. JOE AVILLA said that he had requested a survey of his property two years ago, so that he might put in curbs and gutters. He was informed that the stakes had been put in at that time and he could proceed at any time, MR. JOE ANSELMO requested additional street Ugh Vineyard Avenue, and was told that two additional lights were on order from the P.G.& E.
