:[a ror Brown called for public hearing on the intention
to. construct street light= in the `_'okay Street
Lighting District. £'r. G. C. Spitzer. '10 'est
•_,ka-r, stated that he .ranted• street lights but
wonted to kno-r if he would save an^ money by waiting
for a larger district. He was told that there were
too many factors involved to be able to give
"yes" or "no" answer. [r. Lee -Heintz, 707 South
California Street, stated he would prefer waiting
until the 'whole area decided to have lights and
wanted his name removed from the petition. Hr.
Erwin Sailer. 635 South Orange, considered it unfair
to assess _ corner lot on two sides. Mrs. Willard
Siegel 720 South California Street stated she though
the Petition was to ."•re.. the To'k'-, Gardens Subdivision
then she signed it. -. Sie el said he was it fano.r
of street lightS but thought th.t the district
should include a larrer .._ea instead of piecemeal
operations. The People present were informed that
namesandcould not be __moved from the petition and
thatit would have required signatures atures of owners of
504 of the area in the ronosed lighting district
in order to override the petition; that corner lots
sre reouired to be assessed according to footage:
and that it is up to the people wanting lights ani
circulating the petition to deride on the size of
the district. -z letter from R. E. nnrton, 541=
Tokay Street favoring installation of the
Street lights. was read. Since there were insufficient
protests to override the petition, on motion of
C Cu..nil ^an Robinson. Culbertson Second_ the Councilu
adopted :Resolution _o. 2220 overruling theaprotests.
On motion of Councilman K ....akin . l'-itnhell secon:
