should expand westerly in three sections from the North City limits
to the South City limits.
l~r~ Lavin moved it be recDmmended to the City Council that they
investigate the status of land to the South of City limits that once
was in limits but was excluded~ Also recommend the City amend,
through legislature, the City Charter to get pov~r to annex surround~
lands for the purpose of taking in three sections to the ~est from the
South City limits to the North City llmits~ This in effect will give
the City po~r over the surrounding area to prevent undesirable
str~ction from crowding our town~ This would lower the values in o~r
City and cause detrimental development~ taxwise and otherwise.

amended - for public safety - to req~zire builders to construct side~
