Cannon reported on his recent meeting with the State Highway Depart­ment on the status of the improvement of 5th Street, which affects our Assessment District No. 100-25. Mr. Cannon stated that when he talked with the State officials last week they assured him they would be ready to accept bids before the first of the year; however, he had contacted them yesterday and they find that they will not be able to ask for bids until January 6, 1955. They suggested that the City request until January 20, 1955 for the delivery of the bonds. Mr. Cannon said that he had called Mr. Manente concerning the ex­tension of time, and Mr. Manente stated that he would let him know in a day or so. Mr. Cannon said that he had heard that the State Highway Department were saying that the City is delaying this improvement, and that is absolutely not correct; as of Thursday of last week they had informed him that they would not have their plans ready by Monday. Mr. Cannon reported that originally the State Highway Department said they would be ready to secure bids by the first of November. They then set it up until the first of December, and now are delaying it until January 6th. A lease agreement with the General Parking, Inc. for leasing of the lot at 3rd and Ogden was considered at this time. Commissioner Whipple moved this lease be approved subject to the correction to limit the use to parking of vehicles only and the addition of a paragraph that the parking lot shall be prepared and available for use within thirty (30) days, and the Mayor and Clerk authorized to sign same. Motion seconded by Commissioner Jarrett and carried by the following vote: Commissioners Bunker, Jarrett, Sharp, Whipple and His Honor voting aye; noes, none. Discussion was had on the operation of Bingo Games in the City.
