All ordered referred to the Superintendent of ':tilities and City Engineer for recommendation. Lodi Retail Merchants Association requested that two parking meters on South School Street im- mediately north of Walnut Street in front of the Federal Building be removed and the spaces left marked "no parking" in order to leave access to a curbside letter box to be erected by the Post Office Department. Recommendation approved and changes ordered as requested. This same request included the changing of parking meters on the east side of School Street from Walnut Street to the alley -way northerly therefrom to those having a 10 or 12 minute parking limit. Cn account of the difficulty of policing such limited parking meters, no action was taken in this regard. resolution of Lodi Retail Merchants Association requesting that all parking meters be set on a two hour limit (excepting those in front of the Federal Building) was tabled. City Engineer A. C. Heckenlaible reported that he was in process of filing for unappropriated waters of the American River for irrigaticn•and domestic uses and also for municipal purposes, including domestic, recreational and industrial uses. Mr. Heckenlaible also stated that, acting on the advice of the .State Division of Water Resources, Messrs. Eddlemon,Hieb and Hoffman had refiled on waters of the E:okelumne River, Dry Creek, Bear Creek, and Paddy Creek including domestic and - municipal uses in this filing (succeeding that made February 24th) and increasing the size of the area to be served Westerly to lower Sacramento Road, thus including the City of Lodi. ":r. Heckenlaible was directed to continue with these filings and pursue them to completion. The application of Evangelist Irene S. Wagner presented March 3, 1948, for permission to use a part of the old "Salem School" grounds was denied, it being apparent that the meetings proposed to be held were not sponsored by any local religious organization. 256 COUNCIL CHAMBERS CITY COUNCIL CITY HALL - CITY OF LODI ..arch 24, 1-1 4$ continued : o action .,,as taken in regard to a f::r t"er contri- P.T.1-T. bution to the payin^ o=f of the deficit incurred in q TL the contesting of 2acific Telephone and Telegraph CCNT7�T Company's anDlication for rate increases.
