Privilege of the Floor.

to Supervisor Marvin E. Lewis.

Supervisor Lewis: Mr. Chairman and members of the Board, this
is undoubtedly the last time I will address you inside the railing of
these Chambers. I only wish Supervisor George Christopher were
here today because out of the original members of the Board, only
George and myself remain of that group. Edward Mancuso was also
a member of that group but I see Mr. Mancuso sitting on the other
side of the railing and he is now Public Defender. I am going to
take away many cherished memories of the time spent in these
Chambers, and my many discussions in the affairs of the Board. I am
happy to say there never was any animosity between the members
of the Board and never any personalities and we voted the way we
saw fit. There are many trying days ahead and this is a great chal-
lenge. You must make up your minds on the question of traffic,

of parking, and most important, the problem of moving people. I say
San Francisco is fortunate in having the caliber of men it has on
this Board of Supervisors. I want to thank every member of the
Board for the fine spirit of cooperation and to assure you that I am
proud to have been a member of this Board.

Acting President Arnold expressed the wish, on behalf of the Board,
that Mr. Lewis would enjoy every success in his new post.

Authorizing and Directing Clerk to Initiate Request for Supplemental
Appropriation of $68,000 for Professional Advice on Transit Problems.

It is moved that the Clerk of the Board be authorized and directed
to initiate a request for a supplemental appropriation of $68,000 for
the purpose of securing expert professional services to advise the
Board of Supervisors in connection with the technical problems in-
volved pertaining to File No. 12476.

File No. 12476-1

December 27, 1954 — Consideration continued to January 10, 1955.

Motion to Continue Consideration.

Supervisor Dobbs moved, seconded by Supervisor Carberry, that
consideration of the pending measure be continued until February 7th.

Discussion.

Supervisor Carberry explained that while he intended to go along
with Supervisor Dobbs' motion to continue the matter, he suggested
that the sum of $68,000 be reduced to $43,000 and that the difference,
the sum of $25,000, be earmarked for the purpose of employing
outside consulting services.

Supervisor Carberry inquired of Deputy City Attorney Thomas
Blanchard if the sum in question constituted a utility deficit appro-
priation. Mr. Blanchard replied that while the Supervisor's question
may be considered a technical one, his opinion was that the funds
sought would not come from the utility fund but from the General
Fund. Mr. Blanchard further pointed out that the Board today had
only a motion before it, for the preparation of an appropriation
ordinance and that this type of measure did not require a two-third
vote of the membership of the Board.

Motion defeated by the following vote:

Ayes: Supervisors Carberry, Dobbs, McAteer, McMahon— 4.
Noes: Supervisors Arnold, Blake, Ertola, Halley, McCarty— 5.
Absent: Supervisors Christopher, Ferdon — 2.

Explanation of Vote.

Supervisor McAteer explained that he could not understand why
the city could not do the work instead of hiring outside help; how-
ever, if outside help is considered necessary, why had not considera-
tion been given to those who live either in San Francisco or in the
bay area. The Supervisor produced a directory of consulting engineers
whose services may be available, and pointed out that he would vote
against the pending appropriation as well as ones in the future
unless he is convinced that qualifications of local engineers are in-
sufficient to cope with existing requirements.

Supervisor McCarty pointed out that he, personally, had no
quarrel with Supervisor McAteer 's argument; however, the only
thing before the Board was a motion calling for the preparation of
an appropriation ordinance.

MONDAY, JANUARY 10, 1955 21

Supervisor Carberry moved, seconded by Supervisor Halley, that
the sum of $68,000 be reduced to $43,000 for the purpose employing
professional services, and the balance of $25,000 be used for outside
consulting services.

Supervisor Dobbs expressed opposition to the motion, advising
that as a member of the Finance Committee, he had heard negative
and affirmative arguments, and that the subject appropriation was
based on the assumption that the city would make a survey at the
same time that one would be made by the Bay Area Rapid Transit
Commission. Supervisor Dobbs pointed out that City Engineer
Wadworth had declared that it would take the city at least six
months to do the work for which funds are being sought, and by the
end of that period, the Transit Commission would have completed
its work. He urged the Board members to cast a negative vote.

There being no objection, Supervisor Halley withdrew his second,
whereupon Supervisor McAteer seconded the motion.

Supervisor McAteer reminded Supervisor Dobbs that only a mo-
tion for the preparation of funds was being considered by the Board,
namely for $43,000 and $25,000 respectively, and when these appro-
priations are actually considered by the Board, the City Attorney's
office could then be importuned for opinions on legal questions which
may arise.

Motion defeated by the following vote:

Ayes: Supervisors Carberry, McAteer — 2.

Noes: Supervisors Arnold, Blake, Dobbs, Ertola, Halley, McCarty,
McMahon — 7.

Absent: Supervisors Christopher, Ferdon — 2.

The roll was thereupon called on the pending measure and it was
adopted by the following vote:

Ayes: Supervisors Arnold, Blake, Ertola, Halley, McCarty, Mc-
Mahon— 6.

Noes: Supervisors Carberry, Dobbs, McAteer — 3.

Absent: Supervisors Christopher, Ferdon — 2.

Supervisor Christopher stated he would prefer to see the position
on a full-time basis due to his belief that a part-time attorney might
find himself serving some of his clients whose interests might con-
flict with those of the city, and thus be in the unenviable position
of serving two masters. He, however, assured the Mayor that he
intended to go along and vote for the appointment of Marvin E.
Lewis as a part-time Congressional Legislative Representative.

The privilege of the floor was next extended to former Mayor
Roger D. Lapham, who likewise spoke at some length, dwelling par-
ticularly on the necessity of having a qualified man at Washington,
D. C, and probably on a full-time basis. He pointed out, however,
that in the eventual selection of the representative, the Board
members should bear in mind that former Supervisor Marvin E.
Lewis does not possess the know-how of Francis V. Keesling, Jr.,
insofar as experience in contacting the various Congressmen, heads
of various bureaus, departments and commissions at Washington,
was concerned and that he was not detracting from the ability of
Mr. Lewis.

Supervisor Byron Arnold, Chairman of the Finance Committee,
stated that his committee would consider the proposed contract with

The Chair explained that his Honor, the Mayor, was present to
address the Board.

Mayor Robinson explained that on January 13th he had signed
Resolution No. 15112, which had been presented by Supervisor Dobbs,
authorizing the appointment of a committee to explore the question
of whether or not San Francisco should extend an invitation to

(either the Republican or Democratic National Committee to hold
their convention in San Francisco in 1956. Unfortunately, no person
has shown any inclination to serve on such a committee and so far
no progress has been made in the matter.

The Mayor explained that his Executive Secretary had contacted
both the Republican and Democratic National Committeewomen from
California and each had stated that if San Francisco is going to
extend an invitation to either party, the invitation should be ac-
companied with a guaranty of $250,000.

The Mayor further stated that in view of the fact that he did not
know of anybody who would be willing to serve on the committee,
or guaranty the sum of $500,000 for the conventions, he would appre-

Bciate being informed by the Board as to what further action they
would like him to take.

Supervisor Dobbs remarked that when he had presented the reso-
lution it was his thought that both political parties, as well as
capital and labor, would join in a campaign to raise any moneys
I necessary to bring the national conventions to San Francisco, and
that he was very disappointed at the little interest displayed in such
an undertaking.

The Board resumed consideration of the calendar.

The Board resumed consideration of the following measure hereto-
fore considered and temporarily postponed.

76 MONDAY, JANUARY 31, 1955

File No. 12509, Resolution No. 15198 (Series of 1939) .

Mr. Brooks explained that it was necessary to close the street to
provide sufficient area for the holding of the convention.

Supervisor Carberry, seconded by Supervisor Dobbs, moved that
consideration be continued for a period of one week.

Supervisor Christopher explained that he would vote against the
motion to continue the matter because he believed that the Conven-
tion and Tourist Bureau should have the authority to assure the
conventions that they could use Grove Street for exhibit space.

Supervisor Carberry requested permission to withdraw his motion.
No objection and request granted.

Mr. Swanson of the Convention and Tourist Bureau explained the
necessity for the erection of the tent and the damage that would be
done to San Francisco as a convention center if permission were not
granted for the closing of the street.

Adopted by the following vote:

Ayes: Supervisors Blake, Carberry, Christopher, Dobbs, Ertola,
Ferdon, Halley, McAteer, McCarty, McMahon— 10.

Absent: Supervisor Arnold — 1.

In view of the fact that Mr. Swanson was present, Supervisor Mc-
Ateer asked him to explain the attitude of the Convention and
Tourist Bureau with respect to securing the National Convention of
the Republican and Democratic Parties, and also subsidizing such
conventions.

Mr. Swanson explained that the Convention and Tourist Bureau
had not made it a practice to subsidize conventions coming to San
Francisco.

If there was any demand that San Francisco get these conventions,
the Convention and Tourist Bureau would do everything in its powers
to secure them. Believe that San Francisco has ample room to house
the conventions in either the Cow Palace or the Civic Auditorium.
If the City was to subsidize the National Conventions and then
charge the smaller conventions we would soon find out that the
smaller conventions either would stop coming to San Francisco, or
would expect a subsidy.

Ferdon.

84 MONDAY, FEBRUARY 7, 1955

Privilege of Floor.

Supervisor McCarty moved the privilege of the floor to anyone who
desired to speak. Motion seconded by Supervisor Halley and, there
being no objection, motion carried.

The following proponents were heard:

Otto Meyer, Director of Traffic, Police Department;

Ralph G. Wadsworth, City Engineer;

Paul Oppermann, Director of Planning;

Ross Shoaf, Traffic Engineer;

Philip F. Landis, representing the San Francisco Parking and
Transit Council and certain downtown groups.

The following opponents were heard:

John B. Quigley, owner of the Drake- Wiltshire Hotel;

Dan London, representing the St. Francis Hotel;

Fred Garau, Kat's Blouse Store, 112 Geary Street;

Alex Hoffer, Maurice Hotel, 761 Post Street;

Thomas Trodden, Secretary, San Francisco Garage Owners' Asso-
ciation.

There being no further protestants, the measure was taken into the
hands of the Board.

Discussion.

Supervisor McAteer asked questions of Otto Meyer, Director of
Traffic, and of Ralph Wadsworth, City Engineer.

Supervisor Dobbs stated he had the greatest respect for the city
agencies involved and for the San Francisco Parking and Transit
Council, but that it was clear to him that the only course to pursue
would be to reject the pending legislation and adopt the towaway
program. Supervisor Dobbs concluded by saying that while he never
did care for the towaway restriction, it seemed in this instance to
do the least harm.

It is undeniable that business on both Post and O'Farrell Streets
will be hurt but the real problem is not so much the movement of
traffic as providing parking facilities in the downtown area. When
we have sufficient parking stalls, we will then be in a better position
to evaluate the use of one-way streets.

Supervisor McCarty spoke in favor of the one-way street legisla-
tion.

Privilege of the Floor.

The privilege of the floor was extended to two more opponents,
namely Mrs. Margaret Barnett and Mrs. J. Long.

Explanation of Votes.

Supervisor McAteer explained that insofar as his vote was con-
cerned, he intended to vote in favor of the measure for the simple
reason that it provided a trial period of 120 days, and that at the
conclusion of such a period, a hearing will again be held at which
the merchants will be heard as well as agencies of city government,

E. Lewis for Employment of the Latter as a Part-Time Congres-
sional Legislative Representative.

File No. 12693, Resolution No. 15240 (Series of 1939).

(Proposed amendment is as follows:

Provide that the term of the contract shall be for the
period March 1, 1955, to June 30, 1955, rather than from
March 16, 1955, to June 30, 1955.)

Supervisor Arnold moved the foregoing amendment; seconded by
Supervisor Dobbs.

Discussion.

Supervisor Ferdon expressed opposition to the amendment. He
contended he had no intention of indulging in personalities nor did
he have any quarrel with former Supervisor Lewis, but he did not
believe the position merited the expenditure. He stated he was given
to understand that Mr. Lewis had been assured of a sufficient number
of votes for the job upon his resignation as a member of the Board,
but that he had not been asked whether or not he would vote for
Mr. Lewis' appointment. He expressed the opinion that the city's
representatives in Congress were well qualified to represent the City
and County of San Francisco. However, he did not intend to jeopard-
ize the chances of a former member of the Board who had been
given assurance that he would be given the assignment upon his
resignation.

Supervisor McCarty pointed out that the city's representatives in
Congress were busy enough without saddling them with the addi-
tional duties of pursuing every matter which involved the City and
County of San Francisco, and, in many cases, necessitated conferences
with various persons, bureaus and commissions.

MONDAY. FEBRUARY 7, 1955 91

Supervisor Carberry mentioned that he had informed Supervisor
Lewis upon the letter's resignation as a member of the Board, that
he intended to write the Mayor for a summary of accomplishments
by the present Congressional Legislative Representative, Francis V.
Keesling, Jr. He further stated he listened attentively to what the
Mayor said regarding the activities of Mr. Keesling as well as the
remarks made by former Mayor Roger D. Lapham on the subject.
Supervisor Carberry mentioned he had received a communication
from Mr. Keesling in response to a request from him, pertaining to
his activities, and suggested that the letter be sent to the appropriate
committee for the purpose of considering the advisability of placing
the position on a full-time basis. He mentioned one point, however,
that Mr. Keesling had suggested that the Mayor appoint a Citizens'
Committee to assist in the work of protecting the city's interest in
Washington, D. C.

Supervisor Christopher asked that his statement made on De-
cember 27. 1954. when this matter was considered, be repeated for
the record, as follows:

Members of the Board, permit me to make a statement, for the
record, on the matter of Supervisor Lewis' proposed appointment
to the office of Congressional Legislative Representative.

In reiteration of my views expressed some four years ago and often
expressed since then, the fact is I have often wondered first of all,
as to the necessity for the presence of a representative in Washing-
ton, but in voting for it, I felt that if there were any doubts, the
benefit of such doubts should be given the Mayor; therefore I voted
for it.

Then there was also the question in my mind if we did need a
representative in Washington, whether the position should be full-
or part-time. If we did need a representative at all, it was my
opinion that it should be a full-time one, so that there would not be
any conflict if he had to represent the city against one of his clients.

The third point is the ability of our representative to get along
with our two Congressmen so that there would not be any bickering
that might impair our activities. With these mental reservations, I
shall vote for the appointment of Mr. Lewis.

The roll was thereupon called on the amendment and it was
adopted by the following vote:

Ayes: Supervisors Arnold, Blake, Christopher, Dobbs, Ertola,
Halley, McAteer, McCarty, McMahon — 9.

Noes: Supervisors Carberry, Ferdon — 2.

The roll was thereupon called on the measure, as amended, and it
was adopted by the following vote:

Ayes: Supervisors Arnold, Blake, Christopher, Dobbs, Ertola,
Ferdon. Halley, McAteer, McCarty, McMahon — 10.

No: Supervisor Carberry — 1.

From his Honor the Mayor, communication referring to File No.

Times, for a period of 120 days on an experimental basis," and,
pursuant to Charter Section 14, requesting the Board to reconsider
the measure.

File No. 12579.

The Clerk read a communication from his Honor the Mayor recom-
mending reconsideration.

Move to Reconsider.

Supervisor McCarty accordingly moved that the measure men-
tioned in the Mayor's letter be reconsidered. Motion seconded by
Supervisors Halley and McAteer.

Discussion.

Supervisor Carberry stated the Mayor should be extended the
courtesy of having the measure reconsidered, and that he would
accordingly vote in favor of reconsideration.

100 MONDAY, FEBRUARY 14, 1955

Supervisor Blake declared he had spent considerable time making
a spot survey of traffic on Post and O'Farrell Streets as well as talking
to many people, and that the proposed trial period of 120 days will
prove ample time within which to decide the feasibility of making
such streets one-way thoroughfares. He concluded by saying he
would vote for the trial period.

The roll was thereupon called on the motion to reconsider and it
carried by the following vote:

Ayes: Supervisors Blake, Carberry, Christopher, Ertola, Ferdon,
Halley, McAteer, McCarty, McMahon— 9.

Noes: Supervisors Arnold, Dobbs — 2.

Discussion.

Supervisor Ertola asserted that the measure intended a trial period
only and that if such period failed to substantiate the feasibility of
such a plan, the Board could refuse to extend it, or could attempt
other methods.

Supervisor Dobbs: I feel that the question of damage is being
overlooked. The picture has not changed since last Monday. I have
the highest respect for our various city agencies but unfortunately,
damage to business is not within their orbit to determine. What is
being asked today is to damage these businessmen and then deter-
mine how much damage has been done. The Board should approve
a lesser procedure of damaging these businesses and it would be a
more orderly and proper approach to the problem. I haven't seen
any evidence that would change my mind. I hope the Board will
be consistent and reaffirm its position taken last Monday.

Supervisor McAteer queried Otto Meyer, Director of Traffic, as to
the reason the Police Department prefers to make Post and O'Farrell
Streets one-way streets.

The Director of Traffic replied that the proposed one-way street
pattern was for the purpose of providing ingress to and egress from
the Golden Triangle Area.

Supervisor McAteer suggested that a committee be set up com-
posed of Phil Landis of the San Francisco Parking and Transit
Council, Joseph D. Sullivan of the Hotel Employers' Association and
a third party, and that such committee submit a progress report
every thirty days.

Supervisor Arnold suggested that a study be made of the move-
ment of traffic and also the effect of such proposed measure would
have on the merchants and property owners, and should it be found
that little or no adverse effect would ensue, the one-way street pro-
gram could be put on a permanent basis.

Supervisor Carberry suggested the appointment of a committee by
the President of the Board to study the matter.

Supervisor McCarty: It is my opinion that business will be helped
during the trial period. I am satisfied with studies and recommenda-
tions which have been made. The trial period has been suggested
by the Parking and Transit Council after public hearings on the
matter. The opponents have given us no evidence that their business
will be hurt. All evidence has been the other way. A recent publi-
cation in New York City shows that since one-way streets have been
installed, business has increased 80 per cent. I have no objection to
appointing a committee to make a study during the trial period.

The Clerk read the pending measure:

Designating Post Street, Westbound, Between Market Street and Pre-
sidio Avenue and O'Farrell Street, Eastbound, Between Divisadero
and Market Streets, One-Way Streets for a Period of 120 Davs on
an Experimental Basis.

File No. 12579, Resolution No. 15257 (Series of 1939).

adopted by the following vote:

Ayes: Supervisors Blake, Christopher, Ertola, Ferdon, Halley, Mc-
Ateer, McCarthy — 7.

Noes: Supervisors Arnold, Carberry, Dobbs, McMahon — 4.

Reference to Committee.

Supervisor Carberry requested that the President of the Board be
empowered to appoint a committee of lay members to serve in an
advisory capacity to the Board, for the purpose of studying and
compiling results of the 120-day experimental trial of one-way traffic
on Post and O'Farrell Streets.

Supervisor Carberry suggested that perhaps former Chief of Police
Michael J. Riordan might be considered as a member of the com-
mittee.

Referred to Police Committee.

File No. 12476-2, Ordinance No (Series of 1939).

MONDAY, FEBRUARY 14, 1955 103

Discussion.

Supervisor Dobbs reiterated his negative position heretofore ex-
pressed, contending that the expenditure of the proposed funds was
a useless gesture.

Supervisor Ferdon suggested the funds be given the Municipal
Railway to improve its facilities. He pointed out that a number of
surveys have been made, that this will be just another survey, and
the Board has no assurance that anything will be done after it has
been completed. He concluded by saying that the city has enough of
documents and enough of advice right now.

Supervisor Carberry expressed opposition.

Supervisor McCarty pointed out that $43,000 of the $68,000 re-
quested would be spend by city agencies.

Supervisor Arnold mentioned that the $68,000 were from funds
of the Board of Supervisors, and that if and when expenditures are
to be made, the request will be before the Board, and to a query by
Supervisor McAteer as to the expenditure of $25,000 for consulting
services, he pointed out that such funds would be used to employ
a nationally known firm versed in transit problems.

Supervisor McAteer suggested no action be taken until the Bay
Area Rapid Transit Commission had formulated its own plan.

The roll was thereupon called on the pending measure and it
passed for second reading by the following vote:

Ayes: Supervisors Arnold, Blake, Ertola, Halley, McCarty, Mc-
Mahon — 6.

Noes: Supervisors Carberry, Christopher, Dobbs, Ferdon, McAteer
—5.

File No. 10759-4, Resolution No. 15248 (Series of 1939).

Motion to Defer Consideration.

Supervisor Arnold mentioned he had received a wire from the San
Francisco Real Estate Board asking for a delay as well as a similar
request from Golden State Limited. He accordingly moved, seconded
by Supervisor Halley, that consideration of the pending measure be
continued for one week.

Supervisor Carberry, Chairman of the Commercial and Industrial
Development Committee, pointed out that his committee, for the
period of the last ten months, had conducted exhaustive hearings,
at which all interested citizens and organizations were invited and
heard, and that he was opposed to any further delay.

Supervisor McAteer likewise expressed opposition to further post-
ponement, contending that all interested parties had been heard.
There being no objction, Supervisor Arnold withdrew his motion.
Supervisor Arnold moved re-reference to committee.
Motion lost for want of a second.

104 MONDAY, FEBRUARY 14, 1955

Supervisor Carberry again reiterated his opposition to further pub-
lic hearings at the moment, stating the public would eventually be
heard when the matter has reached the "tentative plan" stage of
the proceedings.

Supervisor Halley moved that consideration of the pending meas-
ure be continued for one week. Motion seconded by Supervisor Car-
berry.

Supervisor McCarty mentioned that the redevelopment act pro-
vided for the taking of many steps before final fruition, and along
the line public hearings must be had. The pending matter should be
disposed of today.

The roll was thereupon called on the motion to continue considera-
tion and it lost by the following vote:

Ayes: Supervisors Carberry, Halley — 2.

Noes: Supervisors Arnold, Blake, Christopher, Dobbs, Ertola, Fer-
don, McAteer, McCarty, McMahon — 9.

Carty, McMahon — 6.

To a query by Supervisor Carberry, Eugene J. Riordan, Director of
the Redevelopment Agency, stated that his agency has the authority
to reduce the size of the project.

The roll was thereupon called and the pending measure was
adopted by the following vote:

Ayes: Supervisors Arnold, Blake, Carberry, Christopher, Dobbs,

(Supervisor Arnold dissenting.)

Designating Area Comprising the Wholesale Produce Market as Re-
development Area E.

File No. 10759-5, Resolution No. 15288 (Series of 1939).

February 14, 1955 — Consideration continued to February 21, 1955.

Communications Reaa.

The Clerk read a wire from the San Francisco Real Estate Board,
objecting to the proposed redevelopment of the 28-block area in
which the Wholesale Produce Market was located.

Supervisor Arnold pointed out that it was the Real Estate Board's
desire that further study should be given to the proposed enlarged
area; that about one thousand property owners had no knowledge
of the pending measure which embraced an area greater than that
covered by the Wholesale Produce Market. The Supervisor likewise
mentioned that he had received many other letters and phone calls
protesting adoption of the subject measure.

He thereupon moved, seconded by Supervisor Halley, that the
measure be re-referred to committee and that all interested parties
be notified and afforded an opportunity to express their positions.

Supervisor Carberry asked Supervisor Arnold to explain his posi-
tion with respect to the development of the Diamond Heights and
Western Addition areas, which was done.

Supervisor McAteer next discussed the various steps which must
be taken to effectuate a redevelopment program, directing his re-
marks to the various property owners and interested parties seated
in the Chambers. He assured them that the adoption of the pending
measure would not cloud title to their respective holdings, and that
in the course of the several steps to be taken, a public hearing before
the Board was mandatory, at which time all interested parties would
be heard. He likewise mentioned that a public hearing before the

114 MONDAY, FEBRUARY 21, 1955

Redevelopment Agency was mandatory prior to adoption of the
Tentative Plan by the Board of Supervisors.

Supervisor McCarty asked Director of Planning Paul Oppermann
if the Director would recommend that the pending measure be re-
referred to committee for further study. Mr. Oppermann replied
that he would not so recommend.

Supervisor McCarty stated that, in his opinion, the request of
Supervisor Arnold to re-refer the matter to committee constituted
an attempt to rewrite the law. Re-reference merely meant a waste
of time and duplication of effort. All interested parties will have
ample opportunity to be heard before the Board.

Supervisor Arnold stressed the importance of correctly initiating
the proceedings; that if the first step was wrong, the members of the
Board should not be burdened with the remainder of the required
steps. The people involved have millions invested and they haven't
the time to keep watch on the City Hall or on the Board calendars.
If the first step is wrong, why delay, as has been the case with other
redevelopment projects. The Supervisor mentioned that the City has
been buying land at McLaren Park for 25 years and the fact is still
not known whether or not there will be a park in that area.

Supervisor Arnold asked Thomas A. Brooks, the Chief Adminis-
trative Officer, if, in the event property is considered a nuisance,
are there sufficient laws to order demolition or improvement of the
property. Mr. Brooks replied that there are suffcient laws on the
books to cope with the situation.

Supervisor Carberry stated that more than 50 hours had been
devoted to hearings on the subject, and that Supervisor McAteer's
explanation of the various procedural steps obviated any possibility
of property owners not being given a proper hearing.

Supervisor Halley declared that the Federal Housing Act of 1954
permitted use of federal funds for urban renewal, and that the Com-
mercial and Industrial Development Committee might consider the
area in question as an urban x-enewal area.

Mr. Goldberg, attorney for the Redevelopment Agency, pointed
out that under the Housing Act, blighted areas as such, in connection
with the urban renewal program, cannot be considered for funds,
and that there is no existing state legislation on urban renewal.

The roll was thereupon called on the motion to re-refer the pending
measure to committee and it lost by the following vote:

Ayes: Supervisors Arnold, Blake, Ertola, Halley, McMahon — 5.

Noes: Supervisors Carberry, Christopher, Dobbs, Ferdon, McAteer,
McCarty— 6.

The roll was then called on the measure and it was adopted by
the following vote:

Ayes: Supervisors Blake, Carberry, Christopher, Dobbs, Ertola,
Ferdon, Halley, McAteer, McCarty — 9.

Noes: Supervisors Arnold, McMahon — 2.

Referral to Civil Service Commission.
The following from Finance Committee was taken up:

Proposed Amendments to Administrative Provisions and Schedules of
Compensation Presented by the Civil Service Commission for Inclu-
sion in the Salary Standardization Ordinance of 1955, to Be Enacted
Pursuant to the Provisions of Charter Sections 151 and 151.1.

File No. 11901

118 MONDAY, FEBRUARY 21, 1955

On behalf, and as recommendations, of the Finance Committee,
Supervisor Arnold presents the following:

[Note: Matter in double parentheses denotes matter stricken out;
italics are new matter.]

(A) I offer as proposed amendments to the administrative provi-
sions of the proposed Salary Standardization Ordinance to become
effective July 1, 1955, File No. 11901, the following:

1. Section IV. Additional Compensation.

(a) For Services Requiring Continuous Direct and Personal Con-
tact with Persons Suffering from Contagious Disease: Employees,
other than physicians, assigned to positions in the Hassler Health
Home, Isolation Division, Chest Clinic or Tuberculosis Wards of the
San Francisco Hospital, or the Morgue of the Coroner's Office or of
the San Francisco Hospital whose duties require continuous, direct
and personal contact with patients suffering, or persons who have
died ((from)) with contagious diseases shall be paid Ten Dollars
($10.00) per month more than the amount to which they are other-
wise entitled. The extra compensation referred to shall be paid only
upon certification by the ((Director of Public Health)) officer in
charge that employees are performing duties which entitle them to
the extra compensation as provided in this section.

2. Section IV. Additional Compensation.

(b) For Extended Work Week Schedule: When the appointing
officer shall establish an extended work week for a position as pro-
vided in Section II, subdivision (c) hereof, the employee occupying
such position shall be paid additional compensation for such extended
work week schedule at ((straight time rates)) one and one-half
times the rate of compensation fixed herein for the normal work
schedule. ((Occupants of such positions regularly required to work
four hours on the sixth day shall receive 10% above the rate fixed
herein for a normal work schedule and occupants of such positions
regularly required to work eight hours on the sixth day shall receive
20% above the rate fixed herein for a normal work schedule. Posi-
tions in which the occupants may be required to work an extended
work week schedule at straight time shall be enumerated in the
annual salary ordinance.) )

3. Section IV. Additional Compensation.

(e) For Shift Work: A shift is a tour of duty of eight hours work
completed within nine hours. Where more than one shift is worked,
the shifts shall be designated, successively, commencing with the
day shift, as first, second and third. Employees whose compensations
are fixed herein on a monthly basis who are required to work a
second ((or third)) shift of eight hours shall be paid ((6*4%))
10% more than the amount to which they are otherwise entitled
and such employees who are required to work a third shift of eight
hours shall be paid 15% more than the amount to which they are
otherwise entitled. This provision shall not apply to employees
whose compensations are fixed herein on a per diem or hourly basis.
First shift shall consist of a minimum of eight hours work.

The data presented to and considered by the Board as warranting
such proposed amendments is the data prepared and submitted by
the Civil Service Commission in its "Salary and Wage Survey,"

bmitted'to the Board of Supervisors, February 7, 1955, and I move
that the Clerk be authorized and directed to transmit the proposed
amendments and data referred to, to the Civil Service Commission
lor review, analysis and report, together with a report as to what
other Hi.mges, and the cost thereof such proposed amendments
would require to maintain an equitable relationship with other rates
in the schedule of compensations proposed by the Civil Service
Commission.

MONDAY, FEBRUARY 21, 1955 119

(B) I offer all of such requests as, supported by necessary data
and filed with this Board, seek adjustment in the schedule of com-
pensation set forth in the Salary and Wage Survey of the Civil
Service Commission, submitted to this Board on February 7, 1955,
as proposed amendments to said schedule of compensations and I
move with respect to such proposed amendments to the schedule of
compenations, that the data presented to and considered by this
Board as warranting such proposed amendments, be transmit) >.
the Civil Service Commission for review and analysis, and report
thereon to this Board, together with a report as to what other
changes, and the cost thereof, such proposed amendments would
require to maintain an equitable relationship with other rates in
said schedule.

For the purpose of this motion, the highest salary rate or range
requested, by employees or their representatives, to be established
for each particular classification in, or in connection with, the data

Commending Those Responsible for Bringing the 1956 GOP Convention

to San Francisco.

Supervisor Christopher suggested that the Board commend those
members of the Board who had played an important part in bringing
the 1956 GOP Convention to San Francisco and that such commenda-
tion likewise include the Downtown Association, particularly its
Executive Secretary, Thomas Gray.

No objection and the Clerk was directed to address a communica-
tion to the Downtown Association.

Leave of Absence for Supervisor George Christopher.

Supervisor Christopher mentioned that he had been asked to go
to Omaha, Nebraska, by the San Francisco Women's Bowling Associa-
tion, during the period April 24-26, for the purpose of attempting
to bring the next bowling tournament to San Francisco in 1956. He
mentioned that this would not cost the city anything and asked that

hereinabove mentioned.

No objection and permission was granted to Supervisor Christopher,
and authorization to be included in resolution heretofore adopted on

Request for Expeditious Action Re New Airline Terminal.

Supervisor Christopher called the Board's attention to the desira-
bility of having the new proposed airline terminal completed before
the delegates from the United Nations and those attending the Re-
publican Party Convention assemble here. He suggested that Director
of Planning Paul Oppermann, as well as the interested airline
officials meet with the Public Utilities Committee for the purpose
of arriving upon a definite solution of the problem.

Utilities Committee.

vention, said funds to be placed under the jurisdiction of the Chief
Administrative Officer.

File No. 12906

Motion seconded by Supervisors Halley and McCarty.

MONDAY, FEBRUARY 21, 1955 121

Discussion.

Supervisor McAteer declared that he would like to see some sort
of a written guarantee that the $150,000 will be forthcoming from
private industry.

Supervisor Dobbs objected to the suggestion of Supervisor McAteer,
terming it a "slap in the face" to have to go before the downtown
group and ask them for a promissory note, in view of the fact that
at the time the Board appropriated the sum of $100,000, it also
accepted the guarantee of the downtown group that the $150,000
would be raised by them.

Supervisor McCarty pointed out that the Downtown Association
had sent its representative, Thomas Gray, back east in an attempt
to land the GOP Convention for San Francisco in 1956; had suc-
ceeded upon the representation that the sum of one hundred and
fifty thousand dollars would be supplied by private capital.

Supervisor Blake spoke in favor of the City appropriating the sum
of one hundred and fifty thousand dollars and even if this sum is not
returned by private capital, the city will be assured the equivalent
by way of added business, goodwill and other means.

Supervisor McAteer stated he respected the opinion of Supervisor
Dobbs and as he had no intention of compelling the businessmen to
to sign a piece of paper, he would go along and vote for the appro-
priation.

The roll was thereupon called on the pending measure and it was
adopted by the following vote:

Ayes: Supervisors Arnold. Blake, Carberry, Christopher, Dobbs,
Ertola, Ferdon, Halley, McAteer, McCarty, McMahon— 11.

Adopted.

Requesting Appointment of a Citizens' Committee to Cooperate in
Arrangements for and Conduct of the 1956 National Convention of the
Republican Party in San Francisco.

Supervisor Dobbs presented:

File No. 12737-2, Resolution No. 15277 (Series of 1939).

Carty.

Adopted by the following vote:

Ayes: Supervisors Arnold, Blake, Carberry, Christopher, Dobbs,
Ertola, Ferdon, Halley, McAteer, McCarty, McMahon— 11.

hereby authorized to issue a requisition for a purchase order for
the rental, transportation, erection and removal of bleachers, etc.,
the type of stands and their locations to be designated at a later
date by the Committee in charge thereof, in connection with the civic
celebration of St. Patrick's Day to be held during March, 1955; the
cost of which shall not exceed the sum of $500, provided funds are
legally available for such purpose.

File No. 12908

Ayes: Supervisors Arnold, Blake, Carberry, Christopher, Dobbs,
Ertola, Ferdon, Halley, McAteer, McCarty, McMahon— 11.

122 MONDAY, FEBRUARY 21, 1955

Reference to Rules Committee.

Supervisor Ferdon mentioned that while San Francisco has been
successful in landing the Republican Convention, efforts should be
continued to land other large conventions as well, and that some
form of a continuing committee should be created whose function
it would be to cooperate with local governmental agencies as well as
private organizations toward that end.

Referred to Rules Committee.

Announcement of Committee Meeting.

Supervisor Ferdon announced a meeting of the Judiciary Com-
mittee for Thursday, March 3, at 3: 30 p. m.

Adopted.

Commending William M. Coffman.

the Board.

Adopted by the following vote:

Ayes: Supervisors Arnold, Blake, Carberry, Christopher, Dobbs,
Ertola, Ferdon, Halley, McAteer, McCarty, McMahon— 11.

Reference to Committee.

Supervisor Halley requested that legislation be prepared making
it the policy of the Board that the present procedural steps that must
be executed in connection with the redevelopment of a blighted area
shall be concluded within a period not to exceed 180 days.

Referred to Commercial and Industrial Development Committee.

Opinions Requested of City Attorney.

Supervisor Halley requested that the Clerk ascertain from the
City Attorney information on the following points:

(1) Whether funds subject to disbursement pursuant to the pro-
visions of the Federal Housing Act of 1954 may be used for the
furtherance of the urban renewal program recently instituted locally.

(2) Whether or not it is necessary that a state enabling act be
passed before such funds, subject to the provisions of the Federal
Housing Act of 1954, may be utilized in connection with the urban
renewal program.

No objection and the Clerk was directed to comply.

Information Requested of Recreation and Park Department.

Supervisor McAteer asked the Recreation and Park Department
to investigate the parking of a panelled truck on land under the
jurisdiction of the Commission, and bounded by Hyde, Larkin, Beach
and Jefferson Streets. The truck was apparently used for sleeping
quarters. Likewise, the parking of three trailers by the Exley Com-
pany. Mr. McDevitt, Secretary of the Recreation and Park Commis-
sion, promised to look into the matter and advise the Education,
Parks and Recreation Committee at its next meeting.

Supervisor McAteer also called the Board's attention to the fact
that it was his understanding that the Recreation and Park Com-
mission intends to abandon the handball courts located in Golden
Gate Park, and that he had been besieged by handball enthusiasts
to oppose such proposed action.

The Supervisor asked that the Recreation and Park Commission
be asked to attend the meeting of the Education, Parks and Recrea-

MONDAY, FEBRUARY 21, 1955 123

tion Committee on March 3rd, and be in a position to supply the
committee with such information as it may have on the subject.

Reference to Redevelopment Agency.

Supervisor McAteer presented a communication from the Diamond
Heights Property Owners Association, commenting on the plans to
redevelop that area, and asked that it be referred to the Executive
Director of the Redevelopment Agency for reply, and that said
Director send a copy of his reply to each member of the Board.

No objection and so ordered.

Reference to Committee.

Supervisor McCarty asked that the Board go on record as opposing
proposed Senate Bill No. 1754, which adds or amends the Elections
Code, relative to the positions of the names of all candidates for
a partisan office on a voting machine.

Supervisor McCarty asked the Chief Administrative Officer if
the passage of the aforementioned bill would result in the dis-
continuance of the use of voting machines and Mr. Brooks' reply
was in the affirmative.

Supervisor McCarty thereupon moved that the Board go on record
as opposing SB 1754. Supervisor Halley objected, contending that
possibly the bill might contain beneficial provisions as well.

Referred to County, State and National Affairs Committee.

Adopted.
In Memoriam — Earl F. Clark.
Jointly presented by Supervisors Arnold and Halley:

Introduction of Congressman Clair Engle.

The President of the Board introduced Congressman Clair Engle
of Tuolumne County, who spoke at length on the necessity and
urgency of permitting Tuolumne Water District No. 2 to utilize one
nl three power drops on the Hetch Hetchy Project, namely, Red
Mountain Bar, Early Intake and Cherry Valley, for the purpose of
constructing a powerhouse thereon, the revenue of which would be
used to I'maiue water and irrigation works in the Sierra counties.

Congre Engle hastened to explain that if such permission

were granted, half of the revenues from such a project would accrue
to the City and County of San Francisco. He pointed out that since
the three sites have not been developed by San Francisco, although
the city has had the opportunity so to do over a period of many years,
it was the Water District's intention to obtain the authority to de-
velop one of them, and to use the funds as mentioned above.

MONDAY, FEBRUARY 28, 1955 131

Supervisor Christopher objected to permitting Butte County to
share in the profits which may accrue from the development of any
of the power silos mentioned, pointing out that some $200,000,000
had been spent by the City and County of San Francisco in the
development of the Hetch Hetchy projects.

Congressman Engle: If San Francisco is unwilling to further de-
velop the power on Hetch Hetchy Project, Butte County will be
happy to take over. Butte County will be happy to lease Early Intake
or Red Mountain Bar.

Supervisor Christopher: If the Board were to develop Early Intake,
would such action forestall any further request for development on
the Hetch Hetchy Project?

Congressman Engle: We are trying to develop Early Intake. If
San Francisco wants that one, we will be glad to have Cherry Valley.
We intend to ask for a hearing on the Early Intake legislation.
When Mr. Turner has the authority to make this offer (refers to press
release wherein Mr. Turner purportedly was willing to enter into a
lease of a power site), we will be glad to accept it. We have no
desire to fight with San Francisco. These power drops should be
developed, and we propose to undertake it. We shall do everything
on earth to have it done because we have to have revenues to com-
plete our own development, and we do not want taxpayers saddled
with lots of expenses in having the Tuolumne Water District.

Supervisor Christopher: I believe Congressman Engle is right when
he says we should sit down and try to settle this. When it comes,
however, to the proposition of sharing in profits that would accrue as
a result of the development of the projects, I cannot agree.

To a query by Supervisor Halley, Congressman Engle stated: The
legislation does not propose consumptive use of the water. All we
want to do is put a wheel in the water and then we will take the
power out of the wheel, sell it and divide the profits with San Fran-
cisco. We do not intend to participate in the profits as they accrue
today. What we want is to develop one of the power drops ourselves,
and then participate in the profits with the City and County of San
Francisco.

To a query by Supervisor McCarty as to the situation which led
Congressman Engle to introduce his proposed legislation. Congress-
man Engle replied that his District needed help in developing do-
mestic and irrigation projects.

Supervisor McCarty: Since there is no immediate need for water
or power, since you want to undertake the development of power,
you want to undertake the project for the purpose of profit-sharing?

Congressman Engle: San Francisco is not developing Early Intake.
What we propose to do is to develop Early Intake, then share the
profits with the people of San Francisco.

Supervisor McCarty: Did you say you want to develop Early Intake
because San Francisco has failed to develop it?

Congressman Engle: We want to finance a project which is other-
wise beyond our means.

To a query as to whether or not the Tuolumne Water District
would have a case should San Francisco develop all of its pov
sites on the Hetch Hetchy Project, Congressman Engle replied: We
will have no case at all, if San Francisco develops all of the power
drops on Hetch Hetchy.

Congressman Engle, at the conclusion of the discussion, thanked
the Board members for their courtesy in permitting him to make his
presentation on the subject matter.

Consideration of Salary Standardization Measure.

in examining the data submitted; there were 9045 employees in-
volved. I received today, for the first time, the recommendations of
the Finance Committee in which there are dissenting votes on a
number of recommendations, and it appears to me that the Board
should hold all recommendations over for at least 48 hours to permit
each member of the Board to study the data and find the best pos-
sible results.

Supervisor Carberry accordingly moved, seconded by Supervisor
Dobbs, that the Board now recess to a time to be determined by the
President of the Board which would permit of a reasonable study
by each member of the recommendations of the Finance Committee.

MONDAY, MARCH 7, 1955 145

Supervisor Arnold, Chairman of the Finance Committee, spoke
brielly of the meetings held by his committee on the salary question
and that the committee's recommendations reflected the best pos-
sible judgment of the committee and reached in accordance with
charter provisions.

Supervisor Arnold mentioned that (1) his committee supported
the stand taken by the Civil Service Commission that no premium
pay should be given employees at the Coroner's Morgue who come
in contact with persons who have died from contagious diseases;
(2) that the Committee favors an amendment to the administrative
provisions to provide that such employees as are authorized regu-
larly to work a 5%- or 6-day work week shall be paid time and
one-half rather than straight time in excess of 40 hours; (3) that
the Committee supports the stand of the Civil Service Commission
that the proposal to change the premium pay for second and third
shifts from 6J4 per cent to 10 per cent and 15 per cent, respectively,
be denied.

Supervisor Arnold thereupon moved the following:

(1) On behalf of and as a recommendation of the Finance Com-
mittee, that the proposed amendments to Section IV (a) and Section
IV (e) of the administrative provisions of the Salary Standardization
Ordinance of 1955, File No. 11901-2, proposed by this Board on
Monday, February 21, 1955, as well as the proposed amendment to
the administrative provisions relating to activities of attorneys rec-
ommended by the Civil Service Commission, be refused adoption.

Motion seconded by Supervisor Dobbs and adopted by the following
vote:

Ayes: Supervisors Arnold, Blake, Carberry, Christopher, Dobbs,
Ertola, Ferdon, Halley, McAteer, McCarty— 10.

Absent: Supervisor McMahon — 1.

(2) On behalf of and as a recommendation of the Finance Com-
mittee, and as a substitute for the amendment heretofore proposed
by the Board of Supervisors to Section IV (b) of the administrative
provisions of the Salary Standardization Ordinance of 1955, pursuant
to Charter Sections 151 and 151.1, File No. 11901-2, the amendments
to Section 11(c) and Section IV (b) now recommended by the Finance
Committee, the adoption of said amendments.

Motion seconded by Supervisor McCarty and adopted by the fol-
lowing vote:

Ayes: Supervisors Arnold, Blake, Carberry, Christopher, Dobbs,

(3) As a recommendation of the Finance Committee, and as a
substitute for the amendments heretofore proposed by the Board
of Supervisors to the Salary and Wage Survey of the Civil Service
Commission, submitted to this Board on February 7, 1955, that the
amendments now recommended by the Finance Committee be ap-
proved and adopted as amendments to said Salary and Wage Survey
and included in File No. 11901-2, Salary Standardization Ordinance
of 1955. Motion seconded by Supervisor Dobbs.

Supervisor McCarty stated he differed in instances with respect
to compensations for certain classifications; however, he pointed out
that the Finance Committee had done a splendid job. He concluded
by saying that he would make certain motions accompanied by basic
reasons for such action.

Commission has conducted its survey.

Adoption of Amendments.

Supervisor Arnold moved as a substitute for the amendments here-
tofore proposed by the Board of Supervisors to the Salary and Wage
Survey of the Civil Service Commission, submitted to this Board
on February 5, 1955, that the amendments recommended by the
Finance Committee as well as those adopted by the Board today,
be approved, and adopted as amendments to said Salary and Wage
Survey and included in File No. 11901-2, Salary Standardization
Ordinance of 1955. Motion seconded by Supervisor McCarty.

Supervisor Dobbs explained that the subject of salary standardiza-
tion had become a terrific burden for the members of the Finance
Committee to carry. The members do their best but it seems that
nobody is happy about the results. He stated he hoped to present
legislation which would provide a more satisfactory method of
standardizing salaries than the present method, which should be
dispensed with.

Supervisor McCarty: I know that conclusions reached by each
member of the Finance Committee were done so in good conscience
and in all fairness. I respect the rights of the members of the Board
and I know they voted without prejudice.

Supervisor Christopher: I know the Finance Committee has done
a most conscientious job. These members should be commended in
the highest degree.

The roll was thereupon called on the pending motion and it was
adopted by the following vote:

Ayes: Supervisors Arnold, Blake, Carberry, Christopher, Dobbs,
Ertola, Ferdon, Halley, McAteer, McCarty — 10.

Owned, Controlled, or to Be Acquired by the City and County of
San Francisco for Public Off-Street Parking Lots and Garages,
Except Land and Improvements Under the Jurisdiction of the Recrea-
tion and Park Commission or the Public Utilities Commission;

tion Therewith; Directing the Terms of Leases and Fixing of Rates

lations; Directing Annual Surveys of Rates Charged by Lessees and
Providing for Modification of Lease Terms.

File No. 12883, Ordinance No (Series of 1939).

"Regulations established by the lessee for the operation of
a facility," add the words:
"and parking rates and charges"

and at the end of the same sentence, delete the words "to
accomplish the purposes herein set forth." The complete
sentence would then read as follows:

"Regulations established by the lessee for the operation
of a facility and parking rates and charges shall at all times
be subject to review and change by the Board.")

Supervisor Dobbs moved the foregoing amendment; motion sec-
onded by Supervisor McCarty and adopted by the following vote:

Resumption of Consideration of Appeal of Joseph T. Hart.

The appeal of Joseph T. Hart from the decision of the City Plan-
ning Commission, heretofore considered, was taken up:

Privilege of the Floor.

The privilege of the floor was accorded the following proponents:
Albert Picard, attorney, representing appellant Joseph T. Hart.
Norman H. Lueck, 2024-A Broderick Street.
Mrs. Margaret R. Ostramm, 3024 Clay Street.
Opponent: Paul Oppermann, Director of Planning.

190 MONDAY, MARCH 21, 1955

Discussion.

General discussion ensued, with questions being asked by various
Supervisors of Mr. Picard, Mr. Oppermann and Mr. Hart.

Mr. C. H. Potts of the Bureau of Building Inspection advised the
Board that Mr. Hart filed application No. 164116 on April 7, 1955,
and that it was approved by the City Planning Commission. The City
Planning Commission then forwarded the application back to the
Bureau of Building Inspection for its approval. The Bureau then
forwarded it to the Bureau of Fire Prevention on April 13th. The
Bureau approved the application with certain qualifications. Later on
it was disapproved by the City Planning Commission and the applica-
tion cancelled on May 21st.

Supervisor Dobbs asked Mr. Potts whether the filing of an appli-
cation implies that a person so filing must pick up his permit before
starting work. Mr. Potts stated it does.

Mr. David L. Stewart, Building Inspector, was questioned by sev-
eral members of the Board, principally Supervisor McAteer, who
asked him whether he told Mr. Hart that it was all right to go
ahead with the work after he had filed his application. Mr. Stewart
stated he did. However, Mr. Stewart did say that Mr. Hart should
have known that before having any work done, he had to pick up
his permit, since his application for a permit on a prior alteration
job had been rejected.

Supervisor Halley asked Deputy City Attorney Thomas Blanchard
if the Board could stipulate that the property would only be used
as a real estate office. Mr. Blanchard stated that the Board had no
such power.

Supervisor Carberry asked Mr. Blanchard if consideration of the
pending measure could not be postponed for one week. He was
informed that pursuant to the provisions of Section 117 of the Char-
ter, the Board had to act on the matter today.

Supervisor Dobbs recommended that the practice of permitting
spot zoning be stopped today. He called the Board's attention to the
fact that his committee which has been studying the proposed new
zoning ordinance, has now under advisement the proposed abolish-
ment of all non-conforming uses.

Supervisor McCarty expressed the opinion that Mr. Hart should
be permitted to continue the business which had been a going con-
cern for some time. All that he is attempting to do at the present
time is to improve his property.

Supervisor McAteer termed the entire procedure of filing applica-
tions for alterations as being totally ridiculous, claiming a state of
confusion exists between the departments whose function it is to
pass upon the legality of such application. He thereupon requested
that a meeting be had of all interested departments so that a pro-
cedure may be evolved which would show in proper order, the actions
of the departments involved in connection with the approval or
denial of an application for alteration and/or reconstruction work.

Referred to Public Buildings, Lands and City Planning Committee.

There being no further discussion, the Clerk read the following
measure:

Refused Adoption.

File No. 12898-2, Resolution No (Series of 1939).

March 14, 1955 — Consideration continued to March 21, 1955.

MONDAY, MARCH 21, 1955 191

Explanation of Voting.

The President explained the voting procedure as follows: An "Aye"
vote overrides the City Planning Commission and sustains the appeal;
a "No" vote sustains the City Planning Commission and denies the
appeal. Eight "Aye" votes are required to override the City Plan-
ning Commission.

The roll was thereupon called and the pending measure was
refused adoption by the following vote:

Ayes: Supervisors Arnold, Blake, Carberry, Christopher, Ertola,
McCarty, McMahon — 7.

Noes: Supervisors Dobbs, Ferdon, Halley, McAteer — 4.

Rescission of Board Action.

Supervisor Arnold moved, seconded by Supervisor Dobbs, that the
Board rescind its action whereby it had heretofore passed File No.
12523 relating to the improvement of portions of Bright Street, to
second reading.

No objection and motion carried.

Consideration Continued.

Supervisor Arnold moved continuance for one week for the purpose
of permitting an inspection of the area. Motion seconded by Super-
visor Halley, and there being no objection, motion carried.

Consideration continued one week.

Adopted as Amended.

The following recommendations of County, State and National
Affairs Committee were taken up:

Recommending Enactment of AB 2703 and AB 2752 in the State

Legislature.

File No. 13028, Resolution No. 15402 (Series of 1939).

Discussion on AB 2703.

Supervisor McCarty objected to the approval of AB 2703, contend-
ing that its passage would place the city in a more favorable position
than would be enjoyed by a private corporation.

Deputy City Attorney Thomas Blanchard agreed that under the
present language of the bill, agents and employees of private firms
and corporations could be called as adverse witnesses whether or
not they participated in the transaction or occurrence, the subject
of the action, whereas agents or employees of a municipality could
only be called as adverse witnesses when they were such participants.

Supervisor Halley requested that AB 2703, as well as the remarks
of both Supervisor McCarty and Deputy City Attorney Blanchard
be referred to the State Legislation Committee hearing scheduled for
Friday, March 25. No objection and so ordered.

Discussion on AB 2752.

Supervisor McCarty contended that the 24 hours' notice as set forth
in the bill does not constitute sufficient time for owners to make
repairs to their sidewalks, and accordingly moved that the pending
bill be re-referred to the State Legislation Committee so that further
study may be given to the time limitations. Motion seconded by
Supervisor McAteer.

Supervisor Arnold expressed opposition to the bill, contending that
the city should not assume any responsibility with respect to claims
for damages as a result of defective sidewalks. The property owner,

192 MONDAY, MARCH 21, 1955

Supervisor Arnold maintained, should be aware of the condition of
his sidewalk at all times.

To a query by Supervisor Halley, Deputy City Attorney Thomas
Blanchard stated that the law as at present makes the city liable
for damages as result of accidents due to defective sidewalks.

The roll was thereupon called and the motion to re-refer the
measure lost by the following vote:

Ayes: Supervisors Arnold, McAteer, McCarty — 3.

Noes: Supervisors Blake, Carberry, Christopher, Dobbs, Ertola,
Ferdon, Halley, McMahon— 8.

Supervisor McCarty stated he would vote against the measure due
to the short time allowed to repair the sidewalk.

Supervisor Arnold contended that since the city does not put in
the sidewalk, it should not be held responsible for its repair.

Supervisor McCarty asserted that under the law the property owner
is legally responsible for damages for injuries caused by a defective
sidewalk when he or his family causes the condition to exist.

The roll was thereupon called on the measure as amended and it
was adopted by the folowing vote:

Ayes: Supervisors Blake, Carberry, Christopher, Dobbs, Ertola,
Ferdon, Halley — 7.

Noes: Supervisors Arnold, McAteer, McCarthy, McMahon — 4.

Adopted.
Opposing Enactment of Certain Bills in the State Legislature.
File No. 13029, Resolution No. 15403 (Series of 1939).

public employees of this State and its political subdivisions.)

Adopted by the following vote:

Ayes: Supervisors Arnold, Blake, Carberry, Christopher, Dobbs,
Ertola, Ferdon, Halley, McAteer, McCarty, McMahon — 11.

Discussion.

Supervisor Arnold, Chairman of the Finance Committee, explained
that the rates set forth in the measure were in keeping with contracts
in effect and recommended passage.

Communication.

The Clerk read a communication from Milton Marks, Jr., Attorney
at Law, in which he asked that his letter of April 13, addressed to
the Finance Committee, dealing with certain protests of Machinists'
rates, be read to the Board.

Supervisor Arnold informed the Board that Mr. Marks' letter was
carefully studied by the Finance Committee. The Civil Service
Commission had informed the Finance Committee that they, too, had
studied the contents of Mr. Marks' letter. Mr. Arnold further pointed
out that the City Attorney had, some time ago, ruled that it was
mandatory upon the Finance Committee as well as upon the Board
of Supervisors to accept the certifications of the Civil Service Com-
mission with respect to items subject to the provisions of Section
151.3 of the Charter unless it is clearly shown that there has been
an abuse of discretion on the part of the Civil Service Commission.
There has not been any showing of any abuse of discretion and the
Finance Committee is satisfied that the Civil Service Commission has
given careful consideration to the contents of Mr. Marks' letter.

The President directed the Clerk to inform Mr. Marks of the state-
ments of Supervisor Arnold.

The roll was thereupon called and the pending measure was
passed for second reading by the following vote:

Ferdon, Halley, McCarty, McMahon — 9.

ment by reducing services to the people; or (2) Adoption of additional

Statement on Proposed Budget.

Supervisor Christopher: Unless there is immediate action taken in
connection with the fiscal policy of the City and County of San
Francisco, if we believe this is a big budget, I am quite sure that
next year's budget will be a most destructive and staggering one.
I don't want to take issue with any studies that might be offered,
but I don't want to see this matter delayed in a mess of surveys,
studies and procrastination. I think this is a matter that you and I
will have to contend with and any delay in arriving at conclusions

246 MONDAY, APRIL 18, 1955

will only make matters worse. It may be that we will have to offend
one or two groups of people but the responsibility rests solely upon
us. I would like to suggest that perhaps after Mr. Arnold's committee
has met, that they might consider calling in the entire Board into
the committee, and then decide issues jointly. I hope this matter
will not be delayed and studied for a period of months. Next year
the budget will have to include those items deleted by the Mayor
and to be studied by the next administration. So I would suggest,
Mr. Arnold, as soon as you are able, you call in the entire Board
and the Mayor, and determine at the earliest possible moment, the
solution to this very serious problem confronting the ad valorem
taxpayer of San Francisco.

Reference to Committee.

Supervisor Christopher called the Board's attention to the fact
that the federal government had seen fit to remove certain functions
from San Francisco and this has likewise applied to private industry.
He now understands that the San Francisco Chamber of Commerce
now finds it impossible to keep its Washington, D. C, office open and
will shortly close its doors. The Supervisor mentioned the fact that
Seattle and Los Angeles, as well as other major cities, have offices
operating in Washington, D. C, and have found that such an or-
ganization in that city to be of extreme importance, and reiterated
the necessity of keeping San Francisco's Washington office open, in
order to compete with those cities.

The Supervisor suggested that the committee call in the repre-
sentatives from the San Francisco Chamber of Commerce with a
view of arriving at a solution which will provide for the continued
operation of the Chamber's Washington office.

Referred to Finance Committee.

Public Hearing on 1955-1956 Budget.

Supervisor Arnold, Chairman of the Finance Committee, announced

Fixing Time for Hearing Proposal to Abandon Portion of Municipal

Railway Bus Line No. 81.

Supervisor McCarty presented a communication from the Public
Utilities Commission requesting Board approval to abandon portion
of Municipal Railway Bus Line No. 81.

Consideration made a Special Order of Business for Monday, May 2,
1955, 3:00 p. m.

Reference to Committee.

Supervisor McCarty: Some weeks ago there was introduced in
the State Legislature a bill which would vest title to certain land
under the jurisdiction of the State Board of Harbor Commissioners
in the abutting property owners. That bill created considerable
comment as to its propriety with the result that it was withdrawn.
However, the premise upon which the bill was submitted intrigued
me to the point of inquiry. It was premised on the fact that that
land which was under the jurisdiction of the State Board of Harbor
Commissioners is valueless insofar as the harbor use for it was
concerned. Approximately 93 years ago, the city transferred certain
harbor land to the state for the purpose of developing and operating
the Port of San Francisco. If it is true that that portion of land
to which reference is made in the bill is absolutely valueless to the
State Board for port purposes, then I assume the State should vest
title in San Francisco. I have had many conversations with shipping
interests and people in transportation business. I have been advised
by a reliable person that the Port of San Francisco is not operating
to the fullest extent and will never be able to utilize, for port pur-
poses, the land now subject to the State Board of Harbor Commis-
sioners. In addition, it will never be able to utilize, for port purposes,
all of the piers which now exist.

Supervisor McCarty mentioned that lands which may be relin-
quished by the State Board could be utilized for waterfront hotels
and apartments, in the same manner as exploited by South American
cities. He asked that the Commercial and Industrial Development
Committee study this matter.

Referred to the Commercial and Industrial Development Com-
mittee.

Recommending Enactment of Senate Bills Nos. 332 and 333 in the State

Legislature.

File No. 13114-2, Resolution No (Series of 1939).

Discussion.

Supervisor Halley apprized the Board that he had received an
opinion from the City Attorney in which doubts were cast upon the
constitutionality of Bills Nos. 332 and 333, and accordingly moved,
seconded by Supervisor Carberry, that the pending measure be re-
referred to the State Legislation Committee for further study and
clarification.

252 MONDAY, APRIL 25, 1955

Supervisor McCarty objected to re-reference, contending that since
the Senate Transportation Committee was meeting on the bills to-
morrow, the Board should state its position, one way or the other.

Supervisor Halley expressed the opinion that the State Legislation
Committee should be accorded the opportunity of reviewing the City
Attorney's opinion, and suggested that action be taken to have con-
sideration on the pending bills at Sacramento continued until such
time as the Legislation Committee has had sufficient time within
which to study the legal opinion.

Supervisor Carberry stated he was in accord with the argument
advanced by Supervisor McCarty that the city should state its posi-
tion inasmuch as the Senate Transportation Committee would meet
on Tuesday, April 26.

There being no objection, Supervisor Halley withdrew his motion.

Supervisor McCarty pointed out that the financial condition of
the bridge is such that the contingent liability upon the city is very
remote. The bridge is paying its way and adding millions to surplus.
Does the city desire to turn over the 14-million dollar surplus to
the California Toll Bridge Authority? Furthermore, about 150 em-
ployees undoubtedly would get their walking papers and the Toll
Bridge Authority would employ their own group. The Toll Bridge
Authority, Supervisor McCarty concluded, has been none too friendly
to San Francisco over the years.

Supervisor Ferdon: This Board passed resolution after resolution
for reduction and these were ignored up to this year. What we are
trying to do here is to integrate this bridge into the state highway
system. I feel this is intelligent legislation. I do not think that we
should proceed, however, after having read the City Attorney's
opinion. I cannot see anything wrong with Supervisor Halley's sug-
gestion that the matter be referred to the Mayor's Committee.

Supervisor Ferdon thereupon moved, seconded by Supervisor
Halley, that the pending legislation be re-referred to the Mayor's
State Legislation Committee and that Mr. Cleary be asked to see
that no action be taken at Sacramento until the entire matter has
been clarified.

Supervisor McCarty moved as a substitute, seconded by Supervisor
Arnold, that the Board go on record as opposing enactment of Senate
Bills Nos. 332 and 333.

The President of the Board ruled the substitute motion out of
order because, in substance, it merely reflects an action that must
be taken on the calendar matter. He suggested that the proper thing
to do would be to vote down the pending motion for re-reference
and then vote on the calendar item.

The roll was thereupon called and the motion to re-refer the
matter to the State Legislation Committee lost by the following vote:
Ayes: Supervisors Carberry, Dobbs, Ferdon, Halley — 4.

Noes: Supervisors Arnold, Blake, Christopher, Ertola, McCarty,
McMahon — 6.

Absent: Superivsor McAteer — 1.

Supervisors Carberry, Ferdon and Dobbs stated they would vote
against the pending measure because of doubts expressed by the City
Attorney as to the constitutionality of the pending bills.

The roll was thereupon called and the pending measure was
refused adoption by the following vote:

Noes: Supervisors Arnold, Blake, Carberry, Christopher, Dobbs,
Ertola, Ferdon, Halley, McCarty McMahon — 10.

Absent: Supervisor McAteer — 1.

MONDAY, APRIL 25, 1955 253

State Legislative Representative Notified of Board Action.

Supervisor Halley requested that the Clerk immediately by tele-
phone, inform Don Cleary, the City's Legislative Representative at
Sacramento, of the Board's action in connection with proposed enact-
ment of Senate Bills Nos. 332 and 333.

No objection and the Clerk was directed to comply.

Mr. Elmer G. Johnson, Executive Vice-President, Building Owners'

270 MONDAY, MAY 2, 1955

Mr. Johnson suggested that an authoritative study be made before
any action is taken by the Board of Supervisors. No evidence, he
pointed out, has been noted that such a public parking garage is
necessary. He recommended that the Board employ the noted Urban
Lands Institute to make a survey for the needs of a public parking
garage in this area and that the Parking Authority be informed of
its findings.

Mr. George A. Gore, Vice-President, Downtown Center Corpora-
tion, presented statistical data showing that his garage had space
available through the day for additional cars, and suggested that
before the Board passed the pending measure, it determine if a need
actually exists for another public parking garage in the area under
study.

Supervisor Arnold mentioned that various city agencies had ap-
proved the purchase of the land, and recommended its passage.

The roll was thereupon called and the measure was passed for

Discussion on Civilian Defense.

At the invitation of the President of the Board, Admiral A. G.
Cook, head of the San Francisco Disaster Council and Corps, appeared
before the Board members and explained the confusion that sur-
rounded the "yellow alert" of last Thursday.

Supervisor Christopher criticized the Disaster Council for failing
to adequately prepare the people of San Francisco as to what to do
in case of alerts. Admiral Cook replied that the Council has utilized
the radio and press to the fullest advantage in the dissemination of
information to the public.

Supervisor Ferdon deplored the lack of a close liaison between
the city and state, and between the state and the federal govern-
ment, and called upon the Board to consider the creation of a com-
mittee of the Board which would be of assistance to the local disaster
corps in the dissemination of vital civil defense information. He
thereupon introduced the following measure:

Reference to Committee.

Requesting Study Looking to the Establishment of a Standing Committee

of the Board of Supervisors Relating to Civilian Defense.

File No. 13227, Resolution No (Series of 1939).

Referred to Rules Committee.

280 MONDAY, MAY 9, 1955

Admiral Cook agreed that the formation of such a committee would
be of material assistance to his council.

Supervisor Christopher disagreed with the thought that the Board's
committee should assist in civilian defense matters, and that the
responsibility of civilian defense rested with the Mayor, as com-
mander-in-chief.

Supervisor McCarty assailed the federal government for not pro-
viding cities with funds with which to carry on the work of civilian
defense and that the Board should go on record memorializing the
federal government to assume the responsibility of allocating funds
to cities in the furtherance of civilian defense preparations.

Supervisor Ferdon ventured the thought that the creation of a
Board committee on civilian defense would assist in constantly
bringing before the public an awareness of the necessity of adequate
knowledge and preparation in event of local disaster.

Supervisor Ferdon requested that the Clerk write to the Mayor,
advising him of the Board's hearing and of the necessity for a more
appropriate educational civilian defense program.

No objection and the Clerk was directed to comply.

There being no further discussion, the hearing on civilian defense
was terminated.

Resumption of Consideration of the Departmental Budget for the San
Francisco Disaster Council and Corp (Index 2.78).

Supervisor Arnold, seconded by Supervisor McCarty, renewed his
motion for approval of the budget as recommended by the Finance
Committee.

Supervisor Halley inquired of Admiral Cook whether or not the
reduction of $500 for postage would work a hardship on his depart-
ment.

Admiral Cook replied that he believed that all items originally
included in his budget were necessary for the efficient operation of
the Disaster Council, and that the item for postage was required to
carry out the information dissemination program that was to be
undertaken by the Disaster Council.

Supervisor Arnold explained that the Finance Committee had
recommended a reduction of $500 for postage in accordance with
past experience. Last year the amount of $1,800 was budgeted and
during the first six months of the current fiscal year $1,211 was
expended and it is estimated that during the last six months only
$589 would be used, therefore in line with past experience it was
the thinking of the Finance Committee that the amount allowed for
this item should be $1,800.

Supervisor Halley explained that he would vote in favor of the
recommendations of the Finance Committee on the condition that
if additional funds were required the Board would entertain such
requests.

Motion carried by the following vote:

Ayes: Supervisors Arnold, Blake, Christopher, Ertola, Ferdon,
Halley, McCarty, McMahon— 8.

Recommendations of State Legislation Committee.

Supervisor Halley presented the following recommendations of the
State Legislation Committee:

1. A.B. 3545— Smog Control Bill.

(The Committee recommends to the Board that the City and
County of San Francisco support the Smog Control Bill, pro-
viding all the nine Bay Counties are included; that if any
counties are excluded, San Francisco be afforded the same
privileges as the excluded counties and be permitted to join the
Smog Control District at the will and pleasure of the Board
of Supervisors. It was further recommended that the Assessor's
office review the taxing features of the bill and to recommend
to the Board of Supervisors their estimate of cost to the City
and County of San Francisco.)

Supervisor Halley moved the foregoing recommendation; seconded
by Supervisor Ertola.

Supervisor Ferdon stated he did not relish the feature of selectivity;
that unless the full nine Bay Area counties are included in the
measure, he would vote against the bill.

The question of county financing next arose, and pending a dis-
cussion of that particular feature, Supervisor Halley temporarily
withdrew his motion.

Discussion was had with respect to the financial burden which
must be assumed by the individual counties, and at the conclusion of
such discussion, Supervisor Halley moved that the Board oppose A.B.
3545, the Smog Control Bill, in its present form. Motion seconded by
Supervisor McMahon.

Supervisor Halley ventured the opinion that the bill should be
modified to assure the City and County of San Francisco that it will
not be saddled with a major portion of the expense.

Supervisor McMahon expressed the opinion that smog control, as
such, would not work unless and until all of the nine Bay Area
counties agreed to participate.

Supervisor Carberry believed that consideration should be post-
poned one week for the purpose of determining definite figures of
cost.

Substitute — Lost.

Supervisor Carberry thereupon moved as a substitute that con-
sideration be continued for one week and that the Clerk in the mean-
time obtain from the proper agency figures as to cost.

Motion lost for want of a second.

352 MONDAY MAY 23, 1955

Substitute — Withdrawn.

Supervisor Ferdon moved as a subsitute that we oppose the legis-
lation as amended and ask our representatives in Sacramento to
bring out of the committee a smog control bill to include the nine
Bay Area counties.

There being no objection, motion withdrawn.

The roll was thereupon called on Supervisor Halley's motion that
the Board oppose A.B. 3545, the Smog Control Bill, in its present
form, and it carried by the following vote:

Ayes: Supervisors Blake, Carberry, Christopher, Ertola, Ferdon,
Halley, McMahon — 7.

Absent: Supervisors Arnold, Dobbs, McAteer, McCarty — 4.

Motion Adopted.

Supervisor Ferdon moved, seconded by Supervisor Halley, that A.B.
3545, introduced in the State Legislature on January 21, 1955, be
amended to provide for the inclusion of the Counties of Solano,
Sonoma and Napa in the regional district; that a workable financial
provision be formulated and that if thus amended, the Board of
Supervisors of the City and County of San Francisco recommends its
passage.

Motion carried by the following vote:

Ayes: Supervisors Blake, Carberry, Christopher, Ertola, Ferdon,
Halley, McMahon— 7.

Absent: Supervisors Arnold, Dobbs, McAteer, McCarty — 4.

2. A.B. 2449. Relating to qualification requirements for political
parties. _#,

Supervisor Halley moved that the Board go on record as opposing
the foregoing measure.

Motion carried by the following vote:

Ayes: Supervisors Blake, Carberry, Christopher, Ertola, Ferdon,
Halley, McMahon — 7.

Absent: Supervisors Arnold, Dobbs, McAteer, McCarty — 4.

3. Water Bills. The City Attorney recommended that the Legisla-
tion Committee accept his recommendations on 174 additional water
bills. These bills were similar to the analysis made on March 11,
1955. The bills in question add nothing new to the former recom-
mendations made.

(The recommendations were turned over to the City Legislative
Representative to act accordingly.)

Supervisor Halley moved, seconded by Supervisor Ertola, that the
Board go on record as approving the recommendation of the City
Attorney.

Motion carried by the following vote:

Ayes: Supervisors Blake, Carberry, Christopher, Ertola, Ferdon,
Halley, McMahon — 7.

Absent: Supervisors Arnold, Dobbs, McAteer, McCarty — 4.

Report Requested of Controller.

Supervisor Carberry moved, seconded by Supervisor Blake, that
the Controller be requested to furnish a report on the cost to the
city in the event that A.B. 2850 and A.B. 3696, relating to a specific
site for small boats harbor and for the repayment of $2,500,000 to
the state, are enacted into law by the State Legislature, and if bond
issues may be needed to repay the monies.

minating Performance Bond of City Title Insurance Company as
Principal and Fidelity and Deposit Company of Maryland as Surety.

File No. 8486-1, Resolution No (Series of 1939).

Motion to Re-refer to Committee.

Supervisor Blake moved re-reference to Streets Committee be-
cause it was his understanding the property in question has again
been sold and a new bond was required. Motion seconded by Super-
visor Ferdon.

Supervisor Halley asserted that since finances were involved, the
matter should be referred to the Finance Committee, and accordingly
moved, as a substitute, seconded by Supervisor Ertola, that the
subject matter be referred to the Finance Committee.

MONDAY, JUNE 6, 1955 377

Deputy City Attorney Thomas Blanchard suggested reference to
committee so that all legal questions may be studied.

The roll was thereupon called on the substitute motion and it
carried by the following vote:

Ayes: Supervisors Arnold, Blake, Carberry, Christopher, Dobbs,
Ertola, Halley, McAteer, McCarty, McMahon — 10.

No: Supervisor Ferdon — 1.

Supervisor Ferdon objected to reference to Finance Committee,
contending the subject involved was one strictly under the juris-
diction of the Streets Committee, since no actual funds are involved.

Motion to Rescind.

Supervisor Dobbs accordingly moved rescission; seconded by Su-
pervisor McCarty.

Supervisor Halley raised the question as to who has the power to
determine whether the City and County should collect on a per-
formance bond.

Supervisor Arnold: Mr. Blanchard, are we jeopardizing our legal
position by substituting one surety for another? There is a distinct
legal problem or problems which should be studied by the Streets
Committee only "upon the advice of the City Attorney. Will therefore
vote now to have the matter re-referred to the Streets Committee.

Request for Information.

Supervisor Arnold requested that the City Attorney advise the
Board of Supervisors as to the legal aspects which might arise in
the pending matter, particularly whether, by releasing one surety
and accepting a substitute surety, the City and County of San Fran-
cisco would, in any way, jeopardize its position with respect to the
obligation of the City Title Insurance Company and the Fidelity and
Deposit Company of Maryland; also, whether the performance bond
of the Redwood Terrace Company as principal and the Fidelity and
Casualty Company of New York as surety would be an acceptable
substitution for the performance bond of the City Title Insurance
Company as principal and the Fidelity and Deposit Company of
Maryland.

No objection and the Clerk was directed to comply.

Supervisor Halley requested that the Controller likewise inform
the Board on any aspects of the subject matter which may come
within his purview.

No objection and the Clerk was directed to comply.

The roll was thereupon called on the motion to rescind and it
carried by the following vote:

Ayes: Supervisors Arnold, Blake. Carberry, Christopher, Dobbs,
Ferdon, McAteer, McCarty, McMahon — 9.

Noes: Supervisors Ertola, Halley — 2.

Motion to Re-refer to Streets Committee.

Halley, that the subject measure be re-referred to the Streets Com-
mittee for the purpose of studying the questions advanced by Super-
visors Arnold and Halley and to await a report from the City At-

(The above measure was returned vetoed and disapproved
by the Mayor on June 9, 1955, accompanied by the Mayor's
explanatory letter of the same date.)

Telegram Read.

Supervisor Halley read a telegram received by Congressional Rep-
resentative Marvin E. Lewis from Norman Paige, commenting on
the activities of the Automotive Safety Foundation.

Discussion.

Supervisor Ferdon mentioned that the members of the Board, with
the exception of Supervisor McAteer, who had been absent from
the Board for some time, were thoroughly familiar with the need
for the particular survey in question. He stressed the fact that city
departments would be happy to extend every possible cooperation
and the work would not interfere with their routine duties. He
further mentioned that the Board had, in the past, appropriated
large sums of money for other surveys.

Supervisor Blake stated that while he believed Supervisor Ferdon's
request was worthwhile, he believed that the Mayor had outlined
certain objections which should be ironed out, and was administering
the affairs of the city in a business-like manner.

Supervisor McAteer asked Barney Ward, Deputy City Attorney,
whether the efforts of Supervisor Ferdon constitute a violation of
Section 22 of the Charter. Mr. Ward replied that they did not.

Chief Administrative Officer Thomas A. Brooks, in reply to a
query, stated he did not believe that any assistance which may be

MONDAY, JUNE 13, 1955 389

required by the Automotive Safety Foundation would impose an
undue burden upon the employees of any of the departments under
his jurisdiction.

Supervisor Arnold expressed the opinion that everyone should be
m favor of the legislation proposed by Supervisor Ferdon, and
pointed out that the Mayor himself was in favor of the purpose of
the legislation; however, he had vetoed it, basing his veto on certain
outlined objections. The veto therefore should be sustained and the
measure referred to committee where the Mayor's objections may be
ironed out.

Supervisor McCarty stated he would vote to override the Mayor's
veto because he believed the survey should be conducted. He em-
phasized that there was no way of knowing how much material and
supplies, employees' cooperation and other assistance would be
required by the Automotive Safety Foundation. He did know, how-
ever, that the sum of $5,000 requested would merely pay for out-of-
pocket cost to the Foundation and would in no way be considered
as a fee. The Foundation had conducted many such surveys all over
the country and had recently concluded one in Los Angeles. So the
question, Supervisor McCarty pointed out, boils down to the query
"Do we want a survey?"

Supervisor Halley stated he had made inquiry concerning the
Automotive Safety Foundation, which was founded in 1937, and
would vote to sustain the Mayor's veto.

Supervisor Carberry declared that consideration of the pending
measure should be considered in the light of recent developments and
should be deemed to be good legislation. He. accordingly, would
vote to override the Mayor's veto.

Supervisor Dobbs stated he would vote to override the Mayor's
veto. He expressed the belief that the Mayor should have contacted
Supervisor Ferdon for the purpose of getting together and ironing
out any apparent differences which may have existed.

Question Put.

The President of the Board stated that the question before the
Board was: "Shall this ordinance be finally passed notwithstanding
the Mayor's veto?" A vote "Aye" will override the Mayor's veto;
a vote "No" will sustain the veto. Eight votes are required to over-
ride the Mayor's veto.

The roll was thereupon called and the Mayor's veto was sustained
by the following vote:

Ayes: Supervisors Carberry, Christopher, Dobbs, Ferdon, McCarty,
McMahon — 6.

Noes: Supervisors Arnold, Blake, Ertola, Halley, McAteer — 5.

Reference to Committee.

Supervisor Ferdon moved that the legislation be referred to the
Judiciary Committee and that the Mayor be requested to submit
such recommendations as will overcome his objections thereto. Mo-
tion seconded by Supervisor Halley and, there being no objection,
motion carried.

Request for Information.

Supervisor Halley requested that the Clerk ascertain from the
Automotive Safety Foundation if fees are charged for their services.
No objection and the Clerk was directed to comply.

Consideration of Legislation Out of Order.

Supervisor Halley moved the suspension of the rules for the pur-
pose of considering the following recommendation of Police Com-
mittee out of order. Motion seconded by Supervisor Ertola and, there
being no objection, motion carried.

390 MONDAY, JUNE 13, 1955

Re-reference to Committee.

File No. 12455, Ordinance No (Series of 1939).

Supervisor McAteer inquired as to the reason for the motion to
re-refer the measure, whereupon Supervisor Ertola informed him
that representatives of the Southern Pacific Railroad Company were

There being no objection, motion carried.

The President of the Board dh'ected that registered letters be sent
to the interested parties in the event a committee hearing is scheduled

rules be suspended for the purpose of considering the following
recommendation of Police Committee out of order.

No objection and motion carried.

Approving Change from Angle to Parallel Parking on Monterey Boule-
vard, South Side, Between Ridgewood Avenue and Foerster Street.

File No. 10545-1, Resolution No. . (Series of 1939) .

Supervisor Ferdon advised that several parties on Monterey Boule-
vard had not been apprized of the Police Committee hearing held
on the subject matter and had expressed a desire to be heard in
connection therewith. The Supervisor accordingly moved, seconded by
Supervisor Dobbs, that the pending measure be re-referred to com-
mittee.

No objection and motion carried.

MONDAY, JUNE 13, 1955 395

Discussion.

Supervisor McMahon expressed the opinion that the position should
be placed on a full-time basis, in which thought Supervisor Car-
berry concurred.

Supervisor McCarty pointed out that if such a position received
full-time status, the city would probably be required to pay a
fabulous price as compensation.

Supervisor Christopher stated that he has always entertained men-
tal reservations about the position in the past because of inherent con-
flicts between the City and County and the clients of the legislative
representative and he has arrived at the conclusion that the need does
not exist for a Washington lobbyist for the remainder of the calendar
year and he would vote accordingly.

Supervisor Blake emphasized the need of a Washington Legislative
Representative, pointing out that in the absence of one, the big jobs
in Washington will go to other cities who do have such representa-
tion. San Francisco should have one if this city is to continue to
enjoy the status of an international port.

Supervisor Ferdon expressed the opinion that the measure should
be sent back to committee to determine the feasibility of placing
the position on a full-time basis. A part-time basis, the Supervisor
pointed out, would involve a conflict of interests and, accordingly,
he would vote against the measure.

The roll was thereupon called on the measure, as amended, and
it was adopted by the following vote:

Ayes: Supervisors Arnold, Blake, Dobbs, Ertola, Halley, McAteer,
McCarty — 7.

Noes: Supervisors Carberry, Christopher, Ferdon, McMahon — 4.

Adopted.

Discussion.

Supervisor Carberry raised the question whether the subject
measure had been approved by the City Planning Commission. Mr.
Bryant Hall, Acting Director of Planning, stated that it had been so
approved.

422 MONDAY, JUNE 27, 1955

Supervisor Arnold suggested to the Streets Committee that it
consider a declaration from the subdivider and an offer to dedicate
the lands in question for street purposes. If such a declaration were
proffered which would contain an offer of dedication for street
purposes, then the Board could either accept or reject it, and it would
not have all of the obligations of an owner.

Supervisor McCarty opposed the present measure on the grounds
that if the city accepted the deeds, and then proceeded to improve
the streets, it would then be liable for any damages which may
ensue as a result of such improvements.

Supervisor Arnold stated he wasn't satisfied with the measure as
it appeared on the calendar and moved its re-reference to committee
so that his thoughts and those expressed by Supervisor McCarty
may be given consideration. Motion seconded by Supervisor McCarty
and carried by the following vote:

Ayes: Supervisors Arnold, Carberry, Christopher, Ferdon, McAteer,
McCarty, McMahon — 7.

Noes: Supervisors Blake, Ertola, Halley — 3.

the cooperation extended by the City during the United Nations Com-
memorative Sessions beginning June 20, 1955.

Supervisor Christopher requested that a letter be directed to the
Secretary-General, thanking him for the sentiments expressed and
hoping that the United Nations will again meet in San Francisco in
the not too distant future.

No objection and the Clerk was directed to comply.

State Funds for Construction of Auditorium.

Supervisor Christopher presented a communication from the City
of Los Angeles regarding the construction of an auditorium by state
funds.

Supervisor Christopher: The City of Los Angeles is about to con-
struct a large auditorium at Sixth and Flower Streets, to be con-
structed by funds allocated by the state, to the Redevelopment
Agency of that city. We have several projects in mind, the one in
the South of Market area and the wholesale produce market. We
should construct a tremendous auditorium that would house 34,000
people and this would bring tremendous business to our city. It might
be possible to obtain state funds for this project. I suggest the matter
be referred to the proper committee for study.

Referred to the Public Buildings, Lands and City Planning Com-
mittee.

Supervisor Ferdon suggested that the foregoing thought might be
conveyed to Don Cleary, the City's Legislative Representative, if the
committee believes the plan feasible.

Use of Gas Tax Funds for Transit Facilities.

Supervisor Christopher presented a communication from the City
Attorney regarding the use of gas tax funds for transit facilities.

Supervisor Christopher: I have written to the City Attorney in-
quiring whether gas tax funds may be used for the improvement of
our rapid transit system, the building of a subway, elevated struc-
tures and other improvements. The City Attorney has stated that
this would require a constitutional amendment. The State Highway
Department is going to construct a huge ferry boat out of gas tax
funds to cross the Carquinez Straits. I wrote the City Attorney again
about the appropriation of gas tax funds for the ferry boat. Mr.
Holm explained his thinking in the matter, which indicated that we
cannot use gas tax funds for the purposes described. I am going
to refer the matter to committee for further study, and for possible
reference to the City Attorney's office for the preparation of legisla-
tion to have a constitutional amendment approved by the people.

Referred to Streets Committee.

Statement by Supervisor Halley.

Supervisor Halley: I want the record to show if the matters had
been voted upon today, the matter of submission of the various
bond issues to the people in November, that if I had been present,
I would have voted $54,000,000 for the power plants, $13,000,000 for
the Courts Building, would have voted for the Recreation and Park
improvements in amount of $7,000,000 and would have voted for the
recommendation of the Parking Authority in the sum of $11,000,000.
I regret that next week I will be absent from the city and will be
unable to vote on the recommendations of the Finance Committee
which will be before the Board next Monday.

The Chair wanted the record to show that Supervisor Halley men-
tioned the sum of $7,000,000 for Recreation and Park bond issue
although the resolution of public interest and necessity introduced
by Supervisor Arnold did not contain any figure.

Supervisor Arnold expressed the hope that consideration of the
bond measures might be deferred until Supervisor Halley returns

Statement by Supervisor McAteer Relating to the Parking Authority.

sied that the $11,000,000 bond issue sponsored by the Authority would

Parking Authority intended to do with the remaining $4,000,000 in
the original $5,000,000 off-street parking bond fund, approved in
1947, and they should be asked what they desire in the way of public
parking, and expressed the hope that the Board would examine the
proposed $11,000,000 bond issue very closely.

442 TUESDAY, JULY 5, 1955

Request for Preparation of Charter Amendment.

Supervisor McAteer requested that the City Attorney be asked to
prepare a charter amendment for submission at the November 8,
1955, election, which will place the parking of automobiles — the
entire parking problem of the community — into the charter, under
the jurisdiction of the Public Utilities Commission, declaring same
to be a public utility.

No objection and the Clerk was directed to comply.

Statement by Supervisor McAteer on the San Jose Public Parking

Problem.

The City of San Jose has voted $2,500,000 in revenue bonds to
provide off-street parking facilities. The revenues from parking
meters are pledged to amortize this debt. The interest on these bonds
is 2% per cent.

The City is now in the process of acquiring property to provide
four parking lots. Eighty per cent of the property has presently
been acquired through negotiation and it is expected that by Christ-
mas of this year the balance of the property will be acquired either
through negotiation or eminent domain.

The City, under its present program, will provide four parking
lots which will accommodate in the aggregate 1500 cars.

One lot is presently in operation; it is expected that another will
be in operation in two weeks; that a third will be in operation in six
weeks and that all four of the lots will be in operation by Christmas.

The lots will be operated by the City with municipal personnel
working on a part-time basis.

Parking demand in San Jose commences at about 10 a. m. and the
peak is found between 1:30 p. m. and 3:00 or 3:30 p. m.

The schedule of rates for parking is as follows:

1st hour . 10c

2nd hour 10c

3rd and each hour thereafter 15c

Maximum charge 65c

Evening parking 35c

Under the provisions of the revenue bond measure the rates can
be changed once a year, up or down.

Supervisor McAteer declared that if the submission of a charter
amendment is not possible he intended to submit a declaration of
policy which will probably be in the following form: "Shall auto-
mobile parking in San Francisco be designated as a public utility
and operated accordingly?"

Supervisor Ferdon declared that it would be illogical to submit
a bond issue for off-street parking and at the same time contemplate
the submission of a charter amendment which would disband the
Parking Authority.

Supervisor Arnold, Chairman of the Finance Committee, stated
that the entire matter would be discussed at length at the meeting
of the Finance Committee scheduled for tomorrow at 3 p. m. in
Room 228, and requested that the Clerk so inform the representatives
of the Authority of such meeting.

Supervisor McAteer was informed of the dates beyond which it
would be impossible to consider the submission of charter amend-
ments and declaration of policy.

Supervisor McAteer stated he would contact Mr. Blanchard, Deputy
City Attorney, with respect to the proposed measures he' had in
mind.

E. Lewis.

The Congressional Legislative Representative informed the Board
of the plan of the West German Government and the German airlines,
the Deutsche Lufthansa, to inaugurate an airline route over the
Great Circle Route via either Los Angeles or San Francisco; that
in was his understanding that the City of Los Angeles had already
dispatched a delegation to Germany for the purpose of having that
government approve of the southern city as the logical western
terminus. He suggested that San Francisco likewise appoint a dele-
gation for the purpose of impressing upon the German Government
of the many advantages possessed by the San Francisco International
Airport.

Supervisor Christopher suggested that the Finance Committee on
Wednesday authorize such a trip after considering all of the facts.

Supervisor McMahon suggested that efforts be made to determine
whether Los Angeles is sponsoring the trip or if the funds are au-
thorized by the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce.

Supervisor Arnold, Chairman of the Finance Committee, stated that
his committee would meet on the matter on Wednesday and make a
recommendation to the Board next Monday.

Further Board Action.

Supervisor Christopher directed that a cablegram be immediately
dispatched to the proper authorities in Germany, notifying them of
the foregoing Board action; further, that the Board would appreciate
advice if a delegation from San Francisco would be of material
assistance in having the Deutsche Lufthansa establish their western
terminus at the San Francisco International Airport, and that such
information be made available, if possible, for consideration by the
Finance Committee for its meeting scheduled for Wednesday, July
13, at 3 p. m.

No objection and the Clerk was directed to comply.

Supervisor Christopher likewise stated that he would make a
personal phone call in an attempt to get quick action.

Mr. Lewis pointed out that both the German Consul and German
Embassy considered that the use of a San Francisco delegation to
Germany would be an excellent idea.

Supervisor Ferdon raised the question of whether such action by
the Board would be violating protocol. However, he was assured by
Mr. Lewis that such action would not be considered as violative.

There being no further discussion, the foregoing matter was
referred to the Finance Committee for further action.

Construction of Navy Carrier.

Mr. Marvin E. Lewis next brought up the subject of the proposed
construction of a navy carrier at the San Francisco Shipyard. He
pointed out that President Eisenhower's Secretary had asked him
that a brief be prepared on the matter and that it would be given
very serious consideration. Mr. Lewis stated that Senator Magnusson
is doing all in his power to have the construction of the carrier
assigned to Bremerton, Washington. It has been determined that
the preparation of the brief would entail an expense of $2,000 and
he had been assured by the Chief Administrative Officer that such
funds would be available. Mr. Lewis concluded by saying that he
has been directed by the Mayor to take this matter up with the Board
of Supervisors for the purpose of having the Board appropriate the
funds as quickly as possible.

Supervisor Blake thereupon moved, seconded by Supervisor Ertola,
that the matter be referred to the Finance Committee for action.
Motion seconded by Supervisor Ertola and, there being no objection,
motion carried.

MONDAY, JULY 11, 1955 447

Surplus Land at Fort Funston.

Mr. Marvin Lewis: Two hundred and eight acres of land located
at Fort Funston were originally set aside for the veterans' hospital.
Then the Veterans' Administration decided not to build the hospital,
and the land went back into the custody of the General Services
Administration. It was then advertised for bid for a period of 90
days and if no bids were received, it would then be open to general
sale. Within the 90 days, the Army stated it wanted the entire 208
acres for docks, supply depots and the like. I pointed out that the
Army grabbed this particular land even while they had other land
available for the purposes in mind. Need must be shown for the land.
A letter should be sent by the Board direct to the General Services
Administration, reminding them that while it is not the desire of
San Francisco to interfere in any way with the national defense, it
wants to be sure that no land is taken unless absolutely necessary.

The President referred the matter to the County, State and National
Affairs Committee as well as to the Mayor for determination of policy.

Consideration of Legislation Out of Order.

Supervisor Dobbs moved, seconded by Supervisor Ferdon, that the
rules be suspended for the purpose of considering the following
recommendation of the Police Committee out of order.

No objection and motion carried.

Consideration Continued.

Amending Article 3, Chapter XI (Traffic Code), Part II of the San
Francisco Municipal Code, by Adding Thereto New Sections to Be
Designated Sections 71.1 and 71.2, Prohibiting Railway Trains or Rail-
way Cars from Obstructing Streets; Prescribing Penalties Therefor.

File No. 12455-1, Ordinance No (Series of 1939) .

Supervisor Dobbs moved, seconded by Supervisor Ferdon, that
consideration of the foregoing measure be continued for a period of
four weeks.

The President introduced a communication from the A.T.&S.F.
Railroad in which they declared that they did not receive a registered
letter advising them of a Police Committee hearing until after the
date of the hearing. It was pointed out that the letter was sent
to 310 Sansome Street, and reforwarded from there to the correct
address.

Supervisor McAteer asserted that at the last meeting of the Police
Committee, Mr. Randolph Karr, representing the Southern Pacific
Company, had declared that he was speaking for all of the carriers.

Privilege of the Floor.

The privilege of the floor was extended to Mr. Randolph Karr,
General Attorney for the Southern Pacific Company, who explained
that he had contacted various officials of the A.T.&S.F. Railroad
about the meeting of the committee.

Mr. Joseph S. Rogers, attorney-at-law, representing the A.T.&S.F.
Railroad, next spoke, advising that the matter of the Police Com-
mittee meeting had just been called to his attention by the Los
Angeles superintendent of the company. He stated he wanted more
time to consider the proposal, particularly that section where the
fine for violating the provisions of the measure was fixed at $250.

Supervisor McAteer declared that even if the A.T.&S.F. Railroad
had not been notified, sufficient public notice had been given, and
that the proposed 30 days' extension will accomplish absolutely
nothing.

448 MONDAY, JULY 11, 1955

Supervisor Arnold moved as a substitute, seconded by Supervisor
Carberry, that the measure be re-referred to committee, for the
purpose of hearing from the A.T.&S.F. Railroad and from any other
parties who have not been heard.

Supervisor Blake asked the Southern Pacific counsel whom he
represented, and Mr. Karr replied that he represented all of the
interested railroads.

Supervisor Ferdon opposed re-reference to committee, pointing out
that continuance for 30 days would provide the counsel for the Santa
Fe Railroad sufficient time to present new data, and if such data
warrants further study, it could then be referred to committee.

Supervisor Ertola asserted that his committee had given the matter
every possible consideration; it had heard from all interested parties,
and that he, accordingly, would vote against re-reference.

Supervisor Dobbs stated he would like to have the Santa Fe look
over the proposed legislation and accorded the opportunity of being
heard in committee.

The roll was thereupon called on the motion to re-refer to com-
mittee and it lost by the following vote:

Ayes: Supervisors Arnold, Carberry, Dobbs — 3.

Noes: Supervisors Blake, Christopher, Ertola, Ferdon, McAteer,
McMahon — 6.

Absent: Supervisors Halley, McCarty — 2.

Supervisor Blake moved, as an amendment, that consideration be
continued for two weeks. Motion seconded by Supervisor Ertola.

There being no objection, the foregoing motion was withdrawn.

Supervisor McAteer expressed opposition, contending that all in-
terested parties have been heard.

The roll was thereupon called on the motion to continue considera-
tion for a period of four weeks and it carried by the following vote:

Ayes: Supervisors Arnold, Blake, Carberry, Christopher, Dobbs,
Ferdon, McMahon — 7.

themselves with no attention being paid to providing temporary
shelter.

Admiral Cook for assistance in the evolving of a relief plan to take
care of such circumstances.

Discussion.

The City Attorney, Dion R. Holm, informed the Board that if all
of the bond measures are adopted unanimously, they could be incor-
porated into the measure calling for the special election and thus
obviate the necessity of additional publication with its attendant
increase in cost.

Statement in Opposition.

Supervisor McAteer stated he intended to vote against the measure,
pointing out that in 1947 the voters approved a $5,000,000 bond meas-
ure for off-street parking. Today there is still four million dollars
in the fund, and he cannot understand how the Parking Authority can
go before the electorate and ask for $11,000,000 more when funds
from the 1947 bond issue are still available. He pointed out, further,
the slow progress made by the Parking Authority since its inception
in 1949.

The roll was thereupon called and the measure, as amended, was
adopted by the following vote:

Ayes: Supervisors Arnold, Blake, Carberry, Christopher, Dobbs,
Ertola, Ferdon, Halley, McCarty, McMahon — 10.

No: Supervisor McAteer — 1.

File No. 12579-6, Resolution No. 15776 (Series of 1939).

not formed to accord the subject the consideration it deserved; how-
ever, the Board members had been supplied with reports from the
Police Department, Department of Public Works and the Municipal
Railway to assist them in arriving at a decision.

Captain Otto Meyer, Director of Traffic, Police Department, averred
that one-way traffic regulations on Post and O'Farrell Streets had
greatly expedited the movement of traffic.

Supervisor Dobbs declared that the Police Committee had failed
to lend sufficient emphasis to the statements of merchants that the
one-way status would result in loss of revenue, and that he, accord-
ingly, would vote against the measure.

Consideration of Possessory Interest Applications.

The Board decided to consider, at this time, those applications filed
on possessory interests.

Assessor Russell L. Wolden requested that the Board defer con-
sideration on the subject for a period of one week to permit presenta-
tion of expert testimony by the city.

Supervisor Halley accordingly moved that consideration be con-
tinued for one week.

Motion lost for want of a second.

Supervisor McAteer asked to be excused from voting due to being
a majority stockholder in his business located on the waterfront.

Supervisor Ferdon expressed the opinion that all members of the
Board should vote on the possessory interest applications except in
those cases where a direct interest is involved.

Supervisor Blake asked for an opinion from the Deputy City Attor-
ney as to whether he should vote on the possessory interest applica-
tions, to which Mr. Blanchard replied that when a matter comes up
for consideration in which a Board member may have a direct
interest, he should not vote on it, but looking at the overall picture,
there is nothing in the law that prohibits any member from voting
on any measure in any manner he sees fit.

Supervisor McAteer declared he believed he should be relieved
from voting altogether, as he is definitely prejudiced in the matter.

Motion to Excuse Members From Voting.

Supervisor Arnold moved that Supervisors McAteer, Dobbs and
Blake be excused from voting on the possessory interest applications.
Motion seconded by Supervisor McMahon.

Supervisor Blake stated he would abide by the ruling of the City
Attorney. Accordingly, Supervisor Arnold asked that his motion be
amended by deleting therefrom the name of Supervisor Blake.

The President ordered that such be done.

Request to Be Excused from Voting.

Supervisor Dobbs asked that he be excused from voting as his firm
represented certain of the appellants.

Supervisor McAteer likewise renewed his request for abstinence
from voting on any of the applications in that he owned the control-
ling interest in his business located on property leased from the Board
of State Harbor Commissioners.

Discussion.

Assessor Russell L. Wolden again repeated his request that he
would like a reasonable amount of time within which to present
expert testimony.

Supervisor Halley inquired as to the parliamentary procedure.
Does action by the Board require only a simple majority?

Deputy City Attorney Blanchard advised the Board that affirmative
action by the County Board of Equalization required six votes on
any measure, this by virtue of the provisions of the Government Code.
He knew of no law requiring the full vote of the Board.

The Assessor again asked for one week's postponement of any
Board action, pointing out that such deference would be fair to the
applicants and to the Assessor's office.

At this point. Philip L. Rezos, Director of Property, informed the
Board that his office had investigated the possessory interest applica-
tions and was ready to make definite recommendations in connection
therewith.

The following applications were considered:

Equalization Assessed

Name of Applicant Requested Value Tax Due

Pacific Far East Line, Inc. —

Pier 42 Possessory Interest $47,550 $ 3,259.17

The Director of Property recommended that the assessed value be
reduced to zero.

Accordingly Supervisor Halley so moved, seconded by Supervisor
Ertola. Supervisor Halley contending that the situation has not
changed since last year when practically all of the possessory interest
assessments were deleted.

The Assessor suggested that before the Board committed itsell
a definite policy with respect to reduction of possessory interest
assessments, it consider the problem of the average taxpayer. Why
not take one of the pending cases and have it ruled upon by the
Supreme Court?

508 MONDAY, JULY 25, 1955

Supervisor McCarty pointed out that if it were shown that the
possessory interests had value, they would be taxed. What the Board
does is based upon evidence.

lowing vote:

has a direct interest.

Thomas Blanchard, Deputy City Attorney, stated he could not defi-
nitely say that it was illegal to do so. It is a question of public

MONDAY, JULY 25. 1955 509

he did not think it was a good thing personally, but that he
did not know of any law that prohibited a Supervisor from represent-

Discussion.

Mr. Charles D. Miller, Manager of the Municipal Railway, ex-
plained the reasons which prompted the Public Utilities Commission
to abandon the 56 bus line. He pointed out that supplementation
of bus service by the Daly City Council decreased the revenues of
the 56 bus line to a point where it was impractical to operate the line.

Mr. A. R. Linn, representing the Peninsula Bus Line, stated that
his company would provide service heretofore provided by the 56
bus line to the cemeteries at the same rate of fare.

tion carried by the following vote:
Ayes: Supervisors Arnold, Carberry, Christopher, Ertola, Ferdon.
Halley, McCarty— 7.

Supervisors Blake. McAteer. McMahon — 3.
Absent: Supervisor Dobbs — 1.

Privilege of the Floor.

The privilege of the floor was extended to Robert W. Walker, at-
torney for the A.T.&S.F. Railroad.

Mr. Walker pointed out that the enactment of the proposed measure
would seriously interfere with the freight operations of his company.
The company has several millions invested in the terminal facilities
on the waterfront to which are barged shipments from across the
bay. The only alternative to the measure would be to make switch
runs and the cost of this type of freight movement would be pro-
hibitive. Mr. Walker further pointed out that no complaints of
tieups of traffic had ever come to his attention. He did not par-
ticularly oppose the ordinance as such, but did believe that the
minimum fine of $250 was much too stringent.

Rise and Report.

Supervisor Arnold moved that the committee now rise and report.
Motion seconded by Supervisor Halley and, there being no objection,
motion carr

Discussion.

Supervisor Arnold asked the Deputy City Attorney what the result
would be if the State Belt Line on the waterfront were guilty of
violating the provisions of the proposed ordinance. Mr. Barney
Ward. Deputy City Attorney, replied that probably the legislation
would be inoperative in that instance.

Supervisor McCarty stated he would not vote for the pending
measure until he had answers to the following questions: How many
commuters are involved; hours of commuting service; how many cars
are involved, both in bringing in the commuters as well as taking
them home. The Supervisor pointed out that enactment of the

576 MONDAY, AUGUST 8, 1955

measure may seriously affect the hours of service as well as dis-
rupting the economic life of the area.

It developed that locations, other than Fourth and Townsend
Streets, have been blocked by trains, particularly a portion of
Seventeenth Street.

Amendment.

Supervisor McMahon moved as an amendment that the time limit
beyond which it would be unlawful to block traffic be set at 15
minutes. Motion seconded by Supervisor McCarty.

Supervisor McAteer objected to the amendment, pointing out that
it would defeat the original purpose of the measure.

Supervisor Arnold likewise opposed the amendment, declaring
that it would be tantamount to granting a license to the carriers to
block our streets for 15 minutes at a time. He voiced the opinion
that the measure should be given further study, with a view to
relieving the congestion and at the same time not unduly penalizing
the carriers.

Amendment Lost.

The roll was thereupon called on the amendment and it lost by the
following vote:

Ayes: Supervisors Christopher, Halley, McCarty, McMahon — 4.

Noes: Supervisors Arnold, Blake, Carberry, Ertola, Ferdon. Mc-
Ateer— 6.

Rise and Report.

At the conclusion of Mr. Picard's remarks, Supervisor McAteer
moved that the committee now rise and report. Motion seconded by
Supervisor Ferdon and there being no objection, motion carried.

Supervisor McCarty, as a member of the Public Health and Welfaiv
Committee, pointed out that while the present proposed measures
do not satisfy either the Laundry Union or the automatic laundry
people, it was in the nature of a compromise.

592 MONDAY, AUGUST 15, 1955

Hearing of Spokesman of Marina District Merchants Re Speedup of
Reconstruction Work on Portion of Chestnut Street.

There being no objection, the privilege of the floor was extended
to Attorney K. K. Gupta, spokesman for the merchants in the Marina
District. Mr. Gupta informed the Board that assurances had been
given the merchants that the work of reconstructing Chestnut Street,
between Scott and Fillmore Streets, would be completed by September
1st, but that based on the speed with which the work was proceeding,
it would be some time beyond the September 1st date, and that the
merchants are feeling the loss of business quite keenly. He sug-
gested that plans be evolved calling for work by night crews so that
work may be completed as quickly as possible. He likewise suggested
rerouting Bus Line No. 30 to hasten the construction.

After further discussion involving the members of the Board,
Mr. Gupta. City Engineer Ralph G. Wadsworth and Manager of the
Municipal Railway, Charles D. Miller, the President suggested that
the two city officials prepare a report as to what additional amount,
if any, would be involved to insure a speedup of the work and that
such report be submitted to the Finance Committee for its considera-
tion on Wednesday, August 17, at 3 p. m.

Meeting of Property Owners on Tideland Reclamation.

Su "i Carberry announced that a meeting would be held on

Tuesday evening, 8 p. m., at 101 Grove Street, with some 170 owners
of tideiand property located in the southeastern section of the city
for the purpose of setting machinery in motion looking to the
eventual reclamation of such submerged lands for industrial and/or
residential use.

The President requested that the Clerk remind each member of
the Board of such meeting.

Suggesting Retention of Chief Administrative Officer Beyond Com-
pulsory Retirement Date.

The President of the Board reminded the Board members that
two weeks ago they established a precedent in passing a measure
which would permit Dr. Walter Heil of the California Palace of the
Legion of Honor to continue in the employ of the city beyond his
compulsory retirement age. He brought out the fact that on the 8th
of January next year a new mayor will take office, and that in order
to assist the chief executive, the retention of Mr. Brooks was of
paramount importance and suggested that the Judiciary Committee
study the advisability of recommending legislation which would
permit the present Chief Administrative Officer, whose retirement
is compulsory next year, to continue in office.

Supervisor John J. Ferdon, Chairman of the Judiciary Committee,
assured the President that his request would be given full con-
sideration, but not until a date beyond the 10th of September, due
to a heavy calendar of proposed charter amendments which merit
prior consideration.

Matter referred to Judiciary Committee.

Consideration of Legislation Out of Order.

There being no objection, the following recommendation of the
Police Committee was taken up out of order.

Re-referred to Police Committee.

Amending Article 3, Chapter XI (Traffic Code), Part II of the San
Francisco Municipal Code, by Adding Thereto New Sections to Be
Designated Sections 71.1 and 71.2, Prohibiting Railway Trains or
Railway Cars from Obstructing Streets; Prescribing Penalties There-
for.

File No. 12455-1, Ordinance No (Series of 1939) .

Privilege of the Floor.

The privilege of the floor was accorded his Honor, Mayor Elmer
E. Robinson. The Mayor stated he has had occasion to make a careful
study of the Fourth Street crossing and of talking to the Vice-

(601 )

602 MONDAY, AUGUST 22, 1955

Presidents of the Southern Pacific Company in charge of the move-
ment of freight and passengers, as well as holding conferences with
Mr. Karr of the Southern Pacific Company and for the following
reasons he did not consider the proposed measure as being either
practical or feasible at this time and that if passed by the Board, he
would veto it. His reasons follow:

The proposed ordinance amending Article 3, Chapter XI (Traffic
Code), Part II of the San Francisco Municipal Code, by adding
thereto new sections designated as Sections 71.1 and 71.2, prohibiting
railway trains or railway cars from obstructing streets, File No. 12455
(Series of 1939), is objectionable for the following reasons:

1. Southern Pacific transports 50 per cent of the Peninsula com-
muters (45 per cent use automobiles and 5 per cent buses), and
36,000 people a day use the Third Street passenger station facilities.
Of this number, about 12,000 persons arrive in the morning peak
and 12,000 depart in the evening peak. The trains arrive at five-
minute intervals in the morning peak and depart at three-minute
intervals in the evening peak.

2. The only rapid transit available to Peninsula commuters is that
now afforded by the Southern Pacific Company. The proposed ordi-
nance will render it impossible for the railroad to perform the
present commuter service. Before this service is disrupted, some plan
should be developed to take care of the present volume of commuters.
We are spending $250,000 with the Bay Area Rapid Transit Com-
mission for a Rapid Transit Report. We should wait and learn what
its recommendations may be and its effect, if any, with reference to
Fourth Street.

3. The proposed ordinance, if enforced throughout the City, would
strangle industrial and economic life and be a serious detriment to
normal freight and passenger operations. The disruption of freight
service would adversely affect our industrial life, payrolls and jobs.
The diversion of commuters to private automobiles would further
congest the overcrowded highways as well as the downtown area.

4. The ultimate solution of the Fourth Street problem is the
Southern Crossing. The statute, as well as the preliminary plans,
provide for an approach which includes a separated crossing along
Fourth Street and over the railroad property, to be constructed at
no expense to the City. If this does not come about, Southern Pacific
has offered to assume a substantial portion of the grade separation
cost at Fourth Street, if the California Public Utilities Commission
deems a separation necessary.

5. The California Public Utilities Commission has been given the
exclusive power (Section 1202 of the Public Utilities Code) to de-
termine the necessity for and to apportion costs in connection with
the construction of a grade separation, such as Fourth Street. The
engineers of the City and the railroad have estimated that a separa-
tion at Fourth Street will cost about $3,500,000. Southern Pacific
has offered to contribute $1,800,000 toward the separation, if the
California Public Utilities Commission deems the separation neces-
sary. The Chief Administrative Officer on August 9, 1954, advised
you concerning this matter as follows:

"... A review had been made of the decisions of the former
Railroad Commission and present State Public Utilities Commission
as to the allocation of costs in most grade separation cases and it
was found that 50 per cent appears to be the highest the Commission
exacts from a carrier."

Thus, it appears in connection with a grade separation at Fourth
Street the City could be put to the expenditure of at least $1,600,000,
which expenditure could be rendered obsolete by the Southern
Crossing.

6. II ;my separation is built across Fourth Street and over the
railroad property, plans developed by the engineers of the City and

MONDAY, AUGUST 22. 1955 603

the railroad require the condemnation of much property and the
removal of that property from the tax rolls.

7. With the opening of the freeways connecting the Bayshore
Highway and Bay Bridge, much of the congestion and traffic which
heretofore existed in the neighborhood of Fourth and Townsend
Streets has been removed to the new freeways.

8. The proposed ordinance was introduced on October 25, 1954,
and was pending before the Police Committee for several months.
Although numerous hearings were held, I am informed by the
Chairman of the Police Committee that not a single citizen or civic
organization appeared in support of the proposed ordinance.

9. The ordinance as presently framed is punitive in character and
hence ill-advised.

10. The ordinance as drawn would appear to apply to the em-
ployees of the State Belt Railroad operations. It is extremely
doubtful if the City has jurisdiction over the State Belt Railroad.
The ordinance should be specific upon the subject so that all con-
cerned can understand its application.

11. Southern Pacific Company has advised that, as soon as the
detailed plans for the Southern Crossing are available, the Southern
Pacific engineers will work in cooperation with the City's engineers
to assist the State engineers in the preparation of final plans which
will solve the Fourth Street situation.

The Chief Administrative Officer informed the Board that con-
ferences had been held with Southern Pacific officials looking to
the construction of a Fourth Street overpass. It was decided to
await a report by the San Francisco Bay Area Rapid Transit Com-
mission regarding the construction of a ramp in the area, which
would join the Southern Crossing. The Southern Pacific Company
stated it would not be interested in a grade separation unless ordered
to construct same by the State Public Utilities Commission.

Supervisor McMahon stated she would vote against the legislation
if she were given some assurance that Fourth Street would not be
blocked during commuting hours.

The Mayor pointed out that if an overpass is necessary and ordered
by the State Public Utilities Commission, the Southern Pacific Com-
pany would absorb more than 50 per cent of the cost.

Supervisor Blake declared that the Mayor had brought forth
salient points of which he was not apprized and, accordingly, he
moved, seconded by Supervisor Ertola, that the measure be re-
referred to the Police Committee.

Motion temporarily withdrawn, pending statement by Supervisor
Carberry.

Supervisor Carberry stated he sympathized with the stand taken
by Supervisor McAteer but that re-reference to committee would
accomplish no good purpose. He suggested that consideration be
continued for a period of two weeks. He then asked Supervisor
McAteer if traffic data the latter had obtained from the Director of
Traffic had been made known to the Southern Pacific officials.

To this query, Supervisor McAteer replied that he had been in-
formed that the Director of Traffic has contacted the Southern Pacific
on the matter.

Supervisor Carberry suggested that the Board vote down the
motion to re-refer the measure to committee and he will then make
a motion for continuance for a period of two weeks and in the
meantime an inquiry will be directed to the Southern Pacific as to
the reason for delays beyond a reasonable length of time.

604 MONDAY, AUGUST 22, 1955

Supervisor Blake stated that in view of the statements of the
Mayor, he would move for re-reference to committee. Motion sec-
onded by Supervisor Ertola.

Supervisor McCarty stated he would vote for re-reference to com-
mittee for the reason that the matter of duration of layovers was
not discussed at the hearings. Further, in view of the report by the
Director of Traffic regarding layover time of passenger and/or freight
trains, he believed the committee should submit some type of legis-
lation with respect to layover time across Fourth Street.

Supervisor Arnold expressed the hope that the Board would re-
refer the measure to committee. He reminded the Board that the
San Francisco Bay Area Rapid Transit Commission would render its
report by the end of the year. That certain answers would be forth-
coming in the report which, in turn, must be considered by the
committee and not by the Board, and the committee could then
come up with legislation which could appropriately be considered
by the Board.

Supervisor McMahon stated she would vote for re-reference with
the hope that the matter will again be reheard, supplemented by
future reports from the California Toll Bridge Authority and the San
Francisco Bay Area Rapid Transit Commission.

Supervisor Ferdon suggested that the Clerk of the Committee im-
mediately write to all interested parties, including the Santa Fe,
Western Pacific, Southern Pacific and State Belt Line railroads, and
ask them if they could offer any alternative plan in the way of
legislation.

The suggestion was referred to the Police Committee.

Supervisor Dobbs urged re-reference to committee, pointing out
that he had attentively listened to all of the arguments put forth
for a Fourth Street overpass, but that nothing had been mentioned
with respect to the construction of a new railroad depot. The Bay
Area Rapid Transit Commission should consider this possibility in
its study; the City Planning Commission and other interested city
departments should study the idea of having the new depot relocated
and should submit their recommendations; consideration should be
given to requesting our City Attorney to appear before the State
Public Utilities Commission demanding that we have a new station,
and if these plans materialize, there would be no need for a Fourth
Street crossing. Supervisor Dobbs concluded by stating that when
such reports have been received, he will submit legislation on the
matter.

The roll was thereupon called on the motion to re-refer to com-
mittee and it carried by the following vote:

Ayes: Supervisors Arnold, Blake, Dobbs, Ertola, Halley, McCarty,
McMahon — 7.

Noes: Supervisors Carberry, Christopher, Ferdon, McAteer — 4.

Remarks of President Christopher upon the Resignation of Supervisor

Arnold.

Supervisor Christopher: It was much to my surprise and deep
regret that Supervisor Arnold has indicated that he was going to
resign from office on September 1st. I do not know if I have ever
seen a more qualified and more sincere public officer than Supervisor
Arnold. When I was selecting the membership of the committees I
requested Supervisor Arnold to assume the Chairmanship of the
Finance Committee, and I was both pleased and happy when he
consented. The resignation of Supervisor Arnold will be a loss not
only to the Board of Supervisors but to all of the people of San
Francisco. I have been pleased to work with you, Supervisor Arnold,
and I wish you every success in the future.

630 MONDAY, AUGUST 29, 1955

Amending Various Sections of the Charter, as Follows: Section 173,
Relating to the Registrar of Voters, Elections; Section 174, Relating
to Municipal Elections; Section 175, Relating to Nomination of
Elective Officers; Section 176, Relating to Material to Be Mailed to
Voters; Section 177, Relating to Precinct Boards of Election; Section
180, Relating to Petitions, and Section 181, Relating to Special Elec-

No objection and request granted.

Supervisor Halley requested permission to withdraw his motion.
No objection and request granted.

Supervisor McCarty: Have been advised by some of the proponents
for a change in the charter that the amendment has as its objective
the appointment of voluntary registration clerks in various public
places, such as banks, department stores, etc., who would be registra-
tion clerks at no pay on a year-round basis. This would be done so
that when a change in address is made the voluntary clerk would
reregister that person then and there so that the person would not
lose the right to vote.

This charter amendment, I have been informed, would make the
appointment of year-round vountary clerks mandatory. Language
did not make it clear that the appointment of such clerks was con-
templated and I have been advised that that is the intent of this
amendment. If that is the intent it should be made clear today so
that there would be no question later.

Would like to know if that is the intent.

Supervisor Ferdon: It is the intent of the chairman of the com-
mittee. The San Francisco Labor Council submitted one proposed
amendment which stated that the Registrar should appoint such
clerks. Mr. Johns has approved the proposal which provides they
shall be appointed.

Mr. Johns and Mr. Kline debated over what the particular lan-
guage should be. We have not been able to settle the argument as
to the legislative intent of the charter amendment. Mr. Johns
understood that it was the intent of the Judiciary Committee that the
clerks be on a year-round basis. It is the intent that we have them
as long as and whenever necessary. Intent was that we should have
registration clerks appointed in places wherever there was the largest
number of electors when it meets with the approval of the city ad-
ministration. Mr. Johns understood the intent of the amendment.

Supervisor McCarty: As I understand, it is the Committee's intent
that this language would mean that it would be mandatory upon
Mr. Kline to appoint such voluntary non-compensated registration
clerks as might reasonably be necessary under any given circum-
staces at various locations that would effect a large registration.

Generally speaking is that the intent?

Supervisor Ferdon: That is not the intent. We say "such registra-
tion clerks as are necessary." It has been pointed out that Mr.

MONDAY, AUGUST 29. 1955 631

Toomcy and Mr. Kline were opposed to this language until it was
pointed out that the language is from the Elections Code.

It is our understanding that at times they may have to pay for
registration clerks. It is the intent of the committee in its recom-
mendation that this proposed charter amendment provides for regis-
tration clerks whenever necessary at any place and the number is
to be worked out either on a voluntary or a remunerative basis
when it is shown to be necessary that registration clerks be placed
for the registration of voters.

Supervisor McCarty: Believe that in accordance with the manda-
tory provisions of the charter that there would be year-round volun-
tary clerks and that the decision would not be left up to the judgment
of Mr. Kline as to when such clerks should be appointed.

Supervisor Ferdon: It is the committee's belief that it is mandatory
that such appointments be made.

Supervisor Ferdon explained the various sections in the proposed
charter amendment:

Section 173 — Registrar of Voters.

There being no objection it was approved.

Section 174 — Municipal Elections.

There being no objection it was approved.

Section 175 — Nomination of Elective Officers.

After objections by some of the members of the Board, Supervisor
Ferdon, seconded by Supervisor Arnold, moved that in the second
paragraph, starting on the fifth line from the end, delete the double
parentheses before the word "provided" and also after the last word
in the paragraph, "withdrawing."

Motion carried by the following vote:

Ayes: Supervisors Arnold, Blake, Christopher, Dobbs, Ertola,
Ferdon, Halley, McAteer, McCarty, McMahon — 10.

Absent: Supervisor Carberry — 1.

Supervisor Ferdon. seconded by Supervisor Arnold, moved that
the second paragraph, on the fourth line from the end, delete the
word "thirty" and substitute in lieu thereof the word "thirty-five."

Motion carried by the following vote:

Ayes: Supervisors Arnold, Blake, Christopher, Dobbs, Ertola,
Ferdon, Halley, McAteer, McCarty, McMahon — 10.
Absent: Supervisor Carberry — 1.

Section 176 — Material to be Mailed to Voters.
There being no objection it was approved.

Section 177 — Precinct Board of Election.
There being no objection it was approved.

Section 180— Petitions.

There being no objection it was approved.

Section 181 — Special Election Fund.
There being no objection it was approved.
Ordered submitted by the following vote:

Ayes: Supervisors Arnold, Blake, Christopher, Dobbs, Ertola,

Supervisor McAteer in explaining his vote stated that he would
vote against the matter based on his previously stated opposition to
the proposed bond issue. He further stated that he believed that the
ballot argument gives one the impression that all of the projects
would be done within the $11,000,000 when everybody knows that
there will be private capital involved.

Ayes: Supervisors Arnold, Blake, Christopher, Dobbs, Ertola,
Ferdon, Halley, McCarty, McMahon — 9.

Remarks by Supervisor Arnold.

I am deeply moved by the expressions of my colleagues today, and
in the resolution that was adopted.

In leaving the Board I am touched with mingled feelings. I am
grateful to Mayor Robinson for appointing me and to the people
who elected me to this office, and for the opportunity of working
with the members of this Board.

It was indeed a pleasure to form warm friendships with the
President and the members of the Finance Committee. I thank all
of the members of the Board for the cooperation given on the many
matters presented over the past four years.

I appreciate the treatment given me by the press and the depart-
ment heads and their cooperation with the Finance Committee. I
appreciate my friendship with Mr. Brooks, the Chief Administrative
Officer. It was a very wonderful thing to me to know of the great
ability and the conscientious attitude of the various department heads
in the city government.

I will hope to continue these warm friendships that I have made
over the period of years with the members of the Board and hope
that in the near future I will be able to be of some service to the
people of San Francisco in a public capacity.

Request Granted.

Providing for Weight Limitation on Trucks Using Nineteenth Avenue.

Supervisor McAteer remarked that he has received a number of
protests about the great number of lumber trucks and cement trucks
that were using Nineteenth Avenue during the day and night, and
the noise made by such trucks was very annoying to the people who
reside in that vicinity. Inasmuch as there are two alternate routes
that could be used by these trucks, i.e., The Embarcadero and the
Bay Shore Freeway, believe that the matter should be presented to
the State Highway Commission with the thought in mind of placing
a weight limitation on the trucks using Nineteenth Avenue.

Supervisor McAteer requested that the Clerk be directed to send
a communication to the State Highway Commission requesting a con-
ference or public hearing in conjunction with one of our committees
for purpose of investigating the problem with people of the Highway
Commission.

Clerk directed to send eomviunication; referred to Streets Com-
mittee.

Adopted.

Proposed Development of the Kress Property by the Fairfax Services,

Inc.

Supervisor McCarty remarked that previously it had been indicated
that private developers would purchase the old Kress site for the
construction of off-street parking, and the City withheld action on
the proposed Ellis-O'Farrell Garage.

Heretofore an ordinance had been introduced for the purpose of
securing an opinion from the City Attorney relative to the Board's
powers to act pursuant to the provisions of the 1949 Parking Act
of the State of California. The City Attorney has ruled that the Board
can act and relieve the Controller from any liability.

Have been informed that the Fairfax Services, Inc., has negotiated
a contract for the purchase of the Kress property and they will
construct a 12-story building on the property for parking purposes
and will include stores in the building. The same company is now
negotiating for the adjacent property and if successful will expand
its property and construct a hotel.

ADJOURNMENT.

There being no further business, the Board, at the hour of 4:00

( 703 )

704 MONDAY, OCTOBER 10, 1955

Privilege of the Floor.

There being no objection, the privilege of the floor was extended
to Jack Werchick, attorney representing the Diamond Heights Prop-
erty Owners' Association.

Mr. Werchick pointed out that his association did not object to
the redevelopment of the area; in fact, he believed that such a plan
would be sound. He mentioned, however, that as matters now stood,
he believed that the letter of the law was being followed but that
the spirit of the law was being violated. At the time plans were
being formulated for the redevelopment of the area, he urged that
every possible protection be afforded the property owners involved.
He was assured by the Redevelopment Agency that such action
would be taken but up to this time such complete protection has not
been extended. What the property owners want is the opportunity
of living in their own property after redevelopment.

Mr. Werchick thereupon outlined the following alternative recom-
mendations which he believed should be incorporated in the Final
Plan:

Alternative Plan for the Redevelopment of Diamond Heights.

Submitted by the Diamond Heights Property Owners Association
under the provisions of Section 33732, Health and Safety Code,
October 10, 1955.

The City and County of San Francisco shall take advantage of
the preliminary engineering plans heretofore prepared and paid for
and shall, within the Diamond Heights Project Area:

( 1 ) improve existing streets and roadways

(2) build new streets, as necessary, using the power of eminent
domain and other valid statutory authorization,

(3) install adequate lighting and utilities systems, underground if
feasible,

(4) install adequate sewage facilities,

(5) install necessary water mains,

(6) remove old water tanks on the hills and enforce existing fire,
health and building code provisions;

(7) re-zone area according to best modern planning; strictly en-
force new zoning plan when adopted;

(8) build schools and other public buildings as required by popu-
lation and other customary circumstances.

In the alternative, if the Board of Supervisors refuses to adopt
the above proposed alternative plan, or any substantial part thereof,
the Diamond Heights Property Owners Association hereby submits
the following Alternative Plan for the Redevelopment of Diamond
Heights:

(1) That the engineering plan be modified so that existing homes
are not interfered with unless such modification is not feasible;

(2) That present owners of property in Diamond Heights shall
be given preference in the selection of new sites; that the Agency,
by use of its power to exchange property, shall enable present
owners who must move to obtain other comparable sites in the project
area in reasonable proximity to their present locations; that this
preference shall be tentatively negotiated during the final planning
stage and shall be effected after the Agency has acquired, by pur-
chase, exchange or option, some property to exchange for other
property; that these exchanges shall be made during the acquisition
period before the sale of property to the general public; that ex-
changes shall be on a lot for lot, site for site, or other equitable basis;

(3) That a common basis for appraisal of all properties be em-
ployed; that for purposes of acquiring, selling or exchanging, the

MONDAY. OCTOBER 10. 1955 705

fair market value of the property shall be determined as of that
time; thai the same factors affecting value shall be applied by nego-
tiating- and effecting exchanges during the acquisition stage in
accordance with (2) above;

(4) That present owners shall not be confronted with competitive
bidding for new sites: that exchanges shall not be subject to com-
petitive bidding;

(5) That present owners shall be permitted to retain that portion
or portions of their land not required for a street or other public
use under the final plan, provided the land can be developed in
accordance with such plan and provided the owners agree to par-
ticipate in the redevelopment in conformity with the final plan
adopted by the Board of Supervisors;

(6) That the present owners shall not be required to build on
property retained by them before a majority of all land allocated for
private building shall be purchased and contracts executed for build-
ing thereon;

(7) That land to be sold shall be sold in blocs which shall not
exclude the small builder and investor and that this sale, exchange,
leasing and transfer of land shall be under the final approval of
the Board of Supervisors, or its designated representative;

(8) That present owners in Diamonds Heights shall be permitted
to exchange lots, under the provisions of all applicable laws, where
the owner desires to exchange property designated for multi-family
dwellings for single family dwelling;

(9) That present owners may sell or transfer their property if

or trail assumes the obligations of the Participation

Agreement;

(10) That present owners shall be given credit for utilities already
installed and paid for. where utilities are to be replaced;

(11) That present owners be permitted to participate, even though
they cannot arrive at an agreement as to price within the designated
time, so long as a tentative agreement to participate is executed,
binding both parties to all phases of the contract except the price;

(12) That the Participation Agreements shall impose no addi-
tional burdens upon participating owners which is not specifically
provided for in the final plan; that said Agreements shall be specific
as to all duties and benefits of the contracting parties; that the
present owners shall not be required, as a condition of participation
in 'he redevelopment project, to waive any constitutional or statutory
right;

(13) That regardless of the success or failure of the contemplated
project and regardless of the completion or abandonment of the
final plan, the zoning and building restrictions provided for in the
final plans shall be maintained and enforced for the protection of
all present owners and others who participate in the redevelopment
project in reliance of the provisions of the final plan;

(14) That the Final Plan be revised to bring the proposed housing
structures in conformity with present and future housing needs of
San Francisco;

(15) That the land disposition plan, in detail, shall be included
in the final plan;

(16) That final engineering shall be completed before execution
of any participation agreements;

(17) That the Board of Supervisors shall retain final control over
every phase of the Final Plan with right of review and veto over
any proposed or contemplated act of the Redevelopment Agency,
including the expenditure of monies — whether local or Federal.

(18) That the above 17 proposals be adopted as a part of the

706 MONDAY, OCTOBER 10, 1955

proposed Final Plan for the Redevelopment of Diamond Heights and
shall supersede and control over any inconsistent parts thereof.
Respectfully submitted,

Diamond Heights Property Owners' Association
By Jack H. Werchick, Attorney for the
Diamond Heights Property Owners' Association

Mr. Werchick concluded by emphasizing that all phases of the
Final Plan should be under the sole jurisdiction of the Board of
Supervisors so that in the event errors have been made by the
Redevelopment Agency, the Board would then be in a position to
correct them.

Mr. Morley Goldberg of the City Attorneys' office, representing
the Redevelopment Agency, pointed out that the redevelopment of
Diamond Heights has been given careful consideration and study
for many years. The Redevelopment Agency, the City Planning
Commission, private groups and other city departments have cooper-
ated wholeheartedly. Mr. Goldberg stated that the Federal Govern-
ment insists on competitive bidding. The property owners will be
allowed to stay, but probably portions of their property may have
to be taken for street purposes. If the property owner objects, the
entire property will have to be taken over through eminent domain
proceedings. He added that owner participation is included in the
Final Plan, and that the Board of Supervisors has control over the
activities of the Redevelopment Agency as well as its budget.

The President of the Board objected to the disclosed fact that the
Real Estate Department will not perform all of the appraisal work
involved.

Privilege of the Floor.

There being no objection, the privilege of the floor was extended
to the following:

Mrs. Gloria Dunn, 821 Corbett Avenue;

Neal Fellom, 550 Valley Street;

Mrs. Florence van Hoff, 1921 Diamond Street;

Johnann Tietjen, 574 Day Street.

Discussion.

Attorney Goldberg informed the Board that the price for each
parcel would be negotiated by either the Real Estate Department
or an authorized independent appraiser. The owner of the property
would have 30 days within which to participate and the time could
be extended to 90 days upon approval by the Board of Supervisors.
If the owner fails to participate, then the Redevelopment Agency
will acquire the whole parcel and sell it to the highest bidder. If
no price can be agreed upon, the Agency will then condemn the
property and the courts requested to fix a price.

Supervisor McAteer inquired if a complete appraisal of the area
could not be made prior to the adoption of the final redevelopment
plan.

Mr. Eugene Riordan, Executive Director for the Redevelopment
Agency, replied that such could not be followed since the law did
not permit of such procedure.

Amendment.

Supervisor Christopher moved as an amendment to the Rede-
velopment Plan, seconded by Supervisor Carberry, that all appraisals
to be made in connection with Diamond Heights Redevelopment Plan
shall be under the complete jurisdiction of the Real Estate Depart-
ment of the City and County of San Francisco, which department
may contract with private appraisers when necessary to expedite
the acquisition of the involved properties; all appraisals heretofore
completed shall be reviewed and reported on by the San Francisco
Real Estate Department.

MONDAY, OCTOBER 10, 1955 707

Supervisor Casey Excused.

There being no objection, Supervisor Casey was excused from
further Board attendance. Supervisor Casey excused at 4:00 p. m.

Statement by Supervisor McAteer.

Supervisor McAteer: In view of this particular amendment and
the many ramifications which may possibly ensue, and in view of
the fact that two members of the Board are not present at the
moment, it seems to me that the proper thing to do would be to
submit this amendment to the Finance Committee for review and
advice from the City Attorney's office for possible evaluation of this
amendment. I will therefore move that the entire subject be re-
ferred to the Finance Committee, along with this amendment and
ask that they study it. Motion seconded by Supervisor Ertola.

Supervisor McCarty suggested that Nos. 1 and 2, identified as
Files Nos. 13546-4 and 13546-3, remain on the calendar until the
proposed amendment had been thoroughly studied by the Finance
Committee.

He thereupon moved as a substitute, seconded by Supervisor Ertola,
that Supervisor Christopher's motion be referred to the Finance
Committee, and that the measures involving adoption of the Final
Plan and the adoption of the Cooperative Agreement remain on the
calendar for a period of one week.

The roll was thereupon called and the substitute motion carried
by the following vote:

Ayes: Supervisors Carberry, Christopher, Dobbs, Ertola, Halley,
McAteer, McCarty, McMahon — 8.

No: Supervisor Ferdon — 1.

Announcement of Committee Meeting.

Watering of Trees Fronting on the Civic Center Parking Lot.

Supervisor McAteer stated that he had received a number of
complaints about the condition of the trees on Van Ness Avenue
fronting the Civic Center Parking Lot. He stated that he had made
an investigation and found out that the lease of the property did not
include care of the trees, and that it was the responsibility of the
Board of Education to clip the lawn and water the trees. He further
remarked that the Board of Education had agreed to maintain the
trees.

Supervisor McAteer suggested that in the future when the City
enters into a lease for use of city property that some provision should
be made to maintain any trees that might be on the property.

Request for Legislation Relative to Weight Limitation on Trucks Using

Nineteenth Avenue.

Supervisor McAteer stated that he had received a communication
from Mr. Booker of the State relative to the enactment of legislation
restricting the weight of vehicles using Nineteenth Avenue.

Supervisor McAteer requested that the Clerk direct a communica-
tion to the City Attorney, transmitting a copy of the letter from
Mr. B. W. Booker, with the request that he make an analysis of
Section 713 of the Vehicle Code and, if he concurs in the opinion
of Mr. Booker, to prepare legislation that will place a weight limita-
tion on vehicles using Nineteenth Avenue.

No objection and request granted; legislation to be referred to
Streets Committee.

Notification of Property Owners Relative to Acquisition of Property
for the Market-Portola Drive Widening.

Supervisor McAteer stated that it was his opinion that the Director
of Property was going to contact each property owner whose prop-
erty would be required by the Ctiy for the Market-Portola Drive
Widening so that the property owner could be informed as to the
price that he would be paid by the City. He stated that this had not
been done and he had the name of one property owner who had to
telephone the Real Estate Department and received the information
over the phone.

Supervisor McAteer to contact the Director of Property.

Blocking of Street Crossing by the Southern Pacific Company.

Supervisor McAteer stated that he was happy to see that the
Southern Pacific Company was taking steps to stop its trains from
blocking Fourth Street by the installation of air and steam connec-
tions.

MONDAY, OCTOBER 17, 1955 735

He further stated that the Southern Pacific Company had been
given a list of intersections where it had been reported that trains
wore blocking the street and he had been notified that they had
assigned men to these intersections to expedite the moving of the
train.

He also remarked that he had information relative to other streets
where the trains were blocking the intersections which would be
closely watched, but that information relative to the locations of the
streets involved would not be given to the Southern Pacific Company.

Supervisor Carberry remarked that he believed that the Police
Committee should be informed about any intersections that are being
blocked by the trains, so that information could be secured from the
Police Department as to whether or not such allegations were true.

Request for Legislation Providing for One Parking Space for Each

Dwelling Unit.

Supervisor McAteer requested that the Clerk direct a communica-
tion to the City Attorney asking that he prepare legislation making
it mandatory that in all future construction in San Francisco provi-
sion be made for one parking space for each dwelling unit.

No objection and request granted; legislation to be referred to the
Public Buildings, Lands and City Planning Committee.

ADJOURNMENT.

There being no further business, the Board, at the hour of 5:00
p. m., adjourned.

carrier should be built at the San Francisco Naval Shipyard and that

Urging Support of Federal Aid Program for Highway Construction.

Supervisor McCarty advised the Board that while the last Congress
had failed to pass bills providing aid for highway construction,
there were several bills now pending and suggested that the Board
go on record as favoring a greatly increased federal aid program. He
believed that the city's representatives in Washintgon, D. C, along
with the senators, should do everything possible to police these bills to
a successful conclusion, in order to assure California of a fair share of
funds. Supervisor McCarty pointed out that if such bills are passed,
it could mean less money for the rural areas. He likewise noted that
Los Angeles is considering a proposed initiative petition designed
to provide a new division of gas tax funds. Under present methods,
remaining funds, after maintenance, are divided with 55 per cent
going to the southern counties and the remaining 45 per cent to the
northern counties. Allocation to cities and counties are regulated by
a formula favoring rural areas. It was likewise pointed out that the
initiative petition would provide for an apportionment of the funds
on the basis of automobile registration so that the bulk of the money
would revert to the more populated areas.

Referred to County, State and National Affairs Commitee.

Fixing Date of Monday, November 14, 1955, 2:00 P. M., for Hearing
the Appeal from the Decision of the City Planning Commission by
Its Resolution No. 4473, Rezoning Property Located on the Southerly
Side of Seventeenth Street Easterly from Valencia Street from Com-
mercial District to Light Industrial District.

File No. 13822-1, Resolution No. (Series of 1939) .

(Note: The foregoing appeal was filed with the Board of
Supervisors by the law firm of Depaoli and Nicco on October
24, 1955. It was referred on the same date to the Department
of Public Works for determination as to sufficiency of signa-
tures and advice was received from said department on No-
vember 2, 1955, that the appeal was not subscribed to by the
owners of twenty per cent of the property located within a
radius of 300 feet of that sought to be rezoned as required
by Section 117 of the Charter.)

Discussion.

The President explained that the Board must vote in accordance
with the results determined by the Department of Public Works,
in that it was found that the appeal did not contain the requisite
20 per cent of owners of property within a radius of 300 feet of that
sought to be rezoned, as provided by Section 117 of the Charter.

Deputy City Attorney Thomas Blanchard pointed out that adoption
of the foregoing resolution would be based on the assumption that a
sufficiency of signatures exists whereas such is not the case.

It was likewise pointed out to the satisfaction of Supervisor Ferdon
who raised several questions on the issue, that the law firm of
Depaoli and Nicco, which represented the appellants, had been ap-
prized of the fact that the subject matter would appear on the Board's
calendar for this meeting; further, that a representative of the firm
had made known that he was satisfied with the findings of the
Department of Public Works.

The President thereupon explained that a "no" vote would refuse
to fix a date for hearing the appeal and support the findings of the
Department of Public Works.

The roll was thereupon called and the pending measure was
refused adoption by the following vote:

Noes: Supervisors Blake, Carberry, Casey, Christopher, Dobbs,
Ertola, Ferdon, Halley, McAteer, McCarty, McMahon — 11.

Discussion With Respect to Paving Road Leading to Josephine D.

Randall Junior Museum.

Supervisor McAteer called the Board's attention to press reports
of the unsatisfactory and dangerous condition of the hilly, unpaved
road leading to the Josephine D. Randall Junior Museum. He men-
tioned that the Museum was opened to the public in 1951 and that

770 MONDAY, NOVEMBER 7, 1955

steps should have been taken since that time to construct a suitable
road thereto.

The Chief Administrative Officer advised that the matter rests
solely with the Recreation and Park Department and that the cutting
of a new road on city property would prove rather costly.

Mr. Max Funke, General Manager of the Recreation and Park
Department, advised that the improvement of the road has been a
source of concern and one which is getting close cooperation between
his department and the Department of Public Works, and that an
agreement has been reached between his department, Mr. Duckel,
the Director of Public Works, and Mr. Ross, the Controller, that the
project would be financed from city funds. The matter of improving
the road, Mr. Funke concluded, is now in the hands of Mr. Duckel
and that his department would be ready to proceed upon approval
of plans to be outlined by Mr. Duckel.

Reference to Committee.

Supervisor McAteer accordingly moved, seconded by Supervisor
Carberry, that the subject matter be referred to the Education, Parks
and Recreation Committee, and Mr. Duckel be requested to bring
before the committee whatever concrete plans he may have in con-
nection with the improvement of the road in question.

No objection and motion carried.

Referred to Education, Parks and Recreation Committee.

covering U-drive concessions at the San Francisco Airport.

Supervisor Dobbs expressed concern over the method being used
by the Public Utilities Commission in executing contracts with firms
the bids of which were not procured on a competitive basis and

Beach Area Required for a Branch Library.

File No. 13375-1, Ordinance No (Series of 1939).

Communication from Director of Property.

Supervisor Dobbs mentioned that he was in receipt of a letter from
the Director of Property, suggesting that further studies be made
before deciding on the proposed site at Columbus Avenue, Lombard
and Mason Streets, in view of the fact that his department's pre-
liminary appraisal of $60,000 appears to be excessive for the purpose
for which the land is intended.

Supervisor McCarty spoke against any possible postponement of
action on the pending measure since the site has the approval of all
parties concerned, namely the City Planning Commission and the
Library Commission. The Supervisor questioned the Director of
Property's right to speak on the merits of the site, contending that
under the charter such was not his function.

Supervisor Ertola warned against the practice of procrastination
which had marked earlier attempts at procuring a site for the North
Beach library.

Supervisor McCarty asked questions of Mr. Philip Rezos, Director
of Property, and it was developed that the purport of Mr. Rezos'
letter to the Board was merely to apprize it of the fact that the cost
of the property amounted to $15.00 per square foot.

The roll was thereupon called and the measure was passed for
second reading by the following vote:

Ayes: Supervisors Blake, Casey, Christopher, Dobbs, Ertola, Ferdon,
Halley, McAteer, McCarty — 9.

Discussion.

Supervisor McAteer explained at some length the history of the
measure.

Supervisor McCarty: With regard to Section 114 of the pending
measure, under the subject of variances, as well as Article 2 of the
City Planning Code and Section 117 of the Charter regarding such
variances — will these provisions be in effect under this ordinance?

Mr. Thomas Blanchard, Deputy City Attorney: These provisions
will be in effect.

Supervisor Dobbs: If we take these things up one by one, we will
destroy the zoning ordinance. I object to consideration of this matter
as a separate item. I would prefer to refer this matter to committee.
I move that the matter be referred to committee for consideration
along with the zoning ordinance.

Motion lost for want of a second.

Supervisor McCarty: It is my understanding that the provisions of
Section 113 do not apply to building permits which have already

MONDAY, NOVEMBER 14, 1955 777

been granted or construction already commenced, or where one has
been issued for modernization purposes.

Deputy City Attorney Thomas Blanchard: Your conclusions are
correct. They would not apply.

Suggestion for Continuance.

Supervisor Blake suggested that consideration of the pending meas-
ure be continued to permit Supervisors Carberry and McMahon, who
were absent, an opportunity to express themselves.

The President replied that it was not necessary to wait until the
Supervisors' return as they would have the privilege of making a
statement to the effect that had they been in attendance they would
have voted for or against the measure.

Supervisor Ferdon Excused from Voting.

Supervisor Ferdon asked to be excused from voting due to an in-
direct interest in the matter. Supervisor Halley accordingly so moved;
seconded by Supervisor McAteer and, there being no objection,
motion carried.

second reading by the following vote:

Ayes: Supervisors Blake, Casey, Christopher, Ertola, Halley, Mc-
Ateer, McCarty — 7.

Resumption of Consideration of Matter Involving Execution of Contract
Between the Public Utilities Commission and Hertz Stations, Inc.,
and Airport Limousine Company, Concerning U-Drive Concessions at
the San Francisco International Airport.

Mr. Thomas O'Connor, Deputy City Attorney, representing the
Public Utilities Commission, advised the Board that the Commission
was now in the midst of its regular Monday meeting and that it could
not appear before the Board at this time.

Supervisor Dobbs expressed the opinion that the Board should
enact legislation depriving the Public Utilities Commission of the
power to approve such contracts as are contemplated, and thereupon
moved that the Board go on record urging the Public Utilities Com-
mission to desist from approving the contracts in question and that
the time-honored system of calling for competitive bids be followed.
Motion seconded by Supervisor McCarty.

Supervisor McAteer sugge it a resolution, instead of a motion,

be adoj id that copies of it be immediately transmitted to the

Public Utilities Commission, for consideration at its meeting this
afternoon.

Deputy Attorney Thomas O'Connor was instructed to proceed to
the Public Utilities Commission's meeting, to inform them of the
feeling of the Board and to determine if it will be willing to postpone
consideration of the contracts under consideration.

Supervisor McAteer suggested that consideration of the matter be
continued to January 15, 1956, and inquired if this could be done by
resolution.

780 MONDAY, NOVEMBER 14, 1955

After a lapse of some time during which Supervisor McAteer
attended the meeting of the Public Utilities Commission as a citizen,
he reported that there appeared to be some doubt as to whether the
Public Utilities Commission had officially expressed themselves in
the matter. Further, there appeared to be a question of misconstruc-
tion of the desire of the Board that the Commissioners appear before
the Board at 4:00 p. m. However, he concluded by saying that the
contracts under consideration were being put over for a period of one
week and that the Board, if it desired, could discuss the matter next
Monday at 2 p. m., with the manager and members of the Public
Utilities Commission.

There appearing no objection, the matter was put over in the Board
until 2 p. m., Monday, November 21, 1955.

Motion.

In connection with the foregoing matter, Supervisor Dobbs moved,
seconded by Supervisor McCarty, that the Board of Supervisors go
on record as opposed to the practice of entering into contracts for
concessions, rights, privileges or services at the San Francisco Inter-
national Airport without permitting such concessions, rights, privi-
leges or services to be awarded to the highest and best bidder and
that the City Attorney be directed to prepare such charter amendment
that will prohibit such practices in the future.

File No. 13892

Motion carried by the following vote:

Ayes: Supervisors Blake, Casey, Christopher, Dobbs, Ertola, Ferdon,
Halley, McAteer, McCarty— 9.

Absent: Supervisors Carberry, McMahon — 2.

File No. 13892

Discussion.

The privilege of the floor was extended to Manager of Utilities
James H. Turner, who read a lengthy statement outlining past
procedures and present status of the pending matter and emphasized
the reason why it was considered advisable to permit but two con-
cessions.

After questions were propounded by members of the Board, the
privilege of the floor was granted Morgan J. Doyle representing the
Hertz-Drive-Ur-Self organization. Mr. Doyle explained the workings
of his firm and the wide services which it has been providing the
general public and outlined reasons why his company should be given
a concession at the airport.

Mr. Lloyd Ackerman, Counsel for the Airport Limousine Com-
pany, one of the two concerns involved in the letting of contracts
by the Public Utilities Commission for u-drive concessions at the
San Francisco International Airport, was permitted to express his
views.

At the conclusion of the hearing, the President of the Board in-

796 MONDAY, NOVEMBER 28, 1955

taken in compliance with the provisions of the State Community
Redevelopment Law.

Mr. Paul Oppermann, Director of Planning, likewise advised that
the Tentative Plan had been approved by the City Planning Com-
mission.

Privilege of the Floor.

The privilege of the floor was extended to the following opponents
of the proposed Tentative Plan:

Mr. Florence McAuliffe, Attorney, representing the San Francisco
Wholesale Terminal and other interested parties.

Mr. McAuliffe informed the Board that his association would resist
all efforts to take over present wholesale produce market property.

Richard Meyerhoff, President, Associated Produce Dealers of San
Francisco.

Mr. Albert Jacobs, representing the firm of Jacobs, Malcolm and
Burtt. Mr. Jacobs, in reply to a query by Supervisor Carberry,
stated that the Produce Terminal was founded in 1944 for the purpose
of working hand in hand with the World's Trade Center.

Motion to Rise and Report.

Supervisor Halley moved that the Committee now rise and report.
Motion seconded by Supervisor Carberry and, there being no objec-
tion, motion carried.

Discussion.

Supervisor McMahon expressed the opinion that the proposed
wholesale produce market should not take up any more land than
is absolutely necessary for the enterprise, thus conserving the balance
of the area for other industrial uses.

To a query by Supervisor Blake as to the status of the property
owners of the present wholesale market when its operations are
transferred, Mr. Maury Goldberg, attorney for the Redevelopment
Agency, stated that until a definite plan is resolved for the old produce
market area, nothing can be done to make the owners move.

Supervisor McAteer asked Joseph L. Alioto, Chairman of the Re-
development Agency, what, if any, plans were on hand to dispose
of the present wholesale produce market. Mr. Alioto replied that
plans, when formulated, would call for the redevelopment of the
area, but that a sum of $25,000 would be required to conduct a survey
to determine the best possible use to which this particular area could
be put.

Supervisor McCarty stressed that he would not vote for the Final
Plan until such time as a definite plan had been evolved for the
redevelopment of the present produce market.

Request for Preparation of Legislation.

Supervisor McCarty requested that the Clerk initiate the prepara-
tion of legislation looking to the appropriation of $25,000 to be used
for the conduct of a survey of the present wholesale produce market
for the purpose of determining the best possible use to which it may
be put.

Supervisor Halley expressed the opinion that the full 60 acres
established by the Tentative Plan should not entirely be used for
wholesale produce market operations, but that other industries should
likewise be permitted to establish themselves in the area.

Mr. Alioto told the Board that it had the right to provide for less
acreage than proposed.

MONDAY, NOVEMBER 28, 1955 797

■*■ ■

MONDAY, NOVEMBER 28, 1955 813

The Finance Committee felt this service should be maintained for
future generations even though it may show a small loss. The matter
was tabled in committee and then it was learned that the concession
was still operating. The City Attorney then ruled that the Recreation
and Park Commission had no right to operate the concession until
the Board approved it. This is the type of concession which the Fi-
nance Committee felt should be operated not at a profit but as a
service, and he saw no reason for further continuance.

Supervisor Dobbs stated he felt the same way as Supervisor Mc-
Carty, in that the contract should be disapproved; however, he con-
sidered the request for continuance a reasonable one.

The roll was thereupon called on the motion to continue and it
carried by the following vote:

Ayes: Supervisors Blake, Carberry, Casey, Dobbs, Ertola, Ferdon,
Halley, McMahon — 8.

No: Supervisor McCarty — 1.

Absent: Supervisors Christopher, McAteer — 2.

Discussion.

General discussion of the measure was entered into by the members
of the Board.

Questions were propounded to Joseph L. Alioto, Chairman of the
Redevelopment Agency, by various Board members.

Supervisor Halley apprized the Board of the fact that he had
conducted a survey of the area proposed to be redeveloped and
before final action is taken by the Board, every possible consideration
should be given to the economic impact upon San Francisco by the
ousting of many industries which have been a part of San Francisco
for many years.

Supervisor McCarty: I would like to sta'< for the record and I
want it to be in the Journal of the Board, that on the basis of law
and representations of the Redevelopment Agency in accordance
therewith, what is before us today is merely Step One and ttiat the
designation does not inferentially or otherwise commit this Board
to any specific plan and that the time and place of exempting any
existing structures from the proposal is properly before this Board
at the time of the adoption of the Tentative Plan, and that there are
no inferences or conjectures in regard thereto by any action which
this Board may take today. On that basis, I will vote for the desig-
nation.

jviuLiun iui i\c-iciciciii;c iu V/Uiiiriniiee.

Supervisor McAteer moved that the foregoing measure be re-
referred to a joint committee of Finance and Buildings, with the
thought in mind that Mr. Zeckendorf, along with the City Planning
Commission and the Redevelopment Agency, devote their attention
to conducting a survey of the present wholesale produce market with
a view of developing a project thereon. Motion lost for want of a
second.

The roll was thereupon called on the pending measure and it was
adopted by the following vote:

Ayes: Supervisors Blake, Carberry, Casey, Christopher, Dobbs,

Suggesting Improvement of Locker Rooms, Kezar Stadium.

Supervisor McAteer called attention to the deplorable condition
of the locker rooms at Kezar Stadium, pointing out that when visiting
professional football teams play in San Francisco, the players are
unable to dress or undress without crowding each other. He sug-
gested that steps be taken to remodernize the rooms, providing larger
lockers and bigger rooms.

The President thereupon directed that the Clerk communicate with
the Recreation and Park Commission, asking that consideration be
given to the foregoing suggestion.
