Charleston. The minutes show the legal description as Lot 6, Block 1, Charleston Square and it should have been Lot 5, Block 1, Charleston Square Commissioner Fountain moved the minutes of December 7, 1955 be corrected as recommended. Motion seconded by Commissioner Sharp and carried by the following vote: Commissioners Bunker, Fountain, Sharp, Whipple and His Honor voting aye; noes, none. UTILITY LINE HAZARD The Commission directed the City Manager to have the telephone and utility lines and poles located in the alley between Fremont and Ogden and Fremont and Carson checked since it was felt that the lines hang so low that it is a hazard to public safety to sidewalk pedestrians. Discussion was held on the proposed house numbering system. Shawnee Stewart of the Planning Staff, reported to the Commission that the proposed new system would tie in with the North Las Vegas system with very few exceptions; the main inconsistency being that the house numbers on each side of Owens Avenue will be even. Mr. Stewart displayed maps colored to indicated the number and location of changes that would be required if the proposed system is adopted, and a map showing the location and number of changes required if the existing ordinance is enforced. There being no further business to come before the Board at this time, Commissioner Fountain moved this meeting recess until October 18, 1956 at 4:00 P.M. Motion seconded by Commissioner Sharp and carried by the following vote: Commissioners Bunker, Fountain, Sharp, Whipple and His Honor voting aye; noes, none.
