-5- <br /> is legal under the City ordinance, and-, if he were the owner, Mr. Pun-. <br /> • cochar said, he was certain "I 'd sue the Council if they denied me the <br /> right to lease my property and collect as much rental as I could get <br /> for it" . He agreed the City would have to have very defensible reasons <br /> for not granting the licenses . <br /> . Gen Lane, a Minneapolis resident, asked' Mr. Springfield to estimate .how <br /> much .money a fourteen year old couldspend in his establishment in an <br /> evening. The billiards hall proprietor indicated. .he preferred to respond <br /> to this question and -others put to him by those present at the conclusion <br /> of their testimony . <br /> Jack Weinstock, 3209 .- 31st Avenue N.E. , asked whether there was any <br /> reason why the issue couldn' t be. tabled and. put to a vote of the City. <br /> Mr. Soth told him- there are no provisions for. a referendum of this <br /> type , since it has been established that only the City Council has the <br /> right to make this type of decision. When some of those present <br /> indicated disbelief in this statement, the Attorney told them, "this <br /> isn' t unique to St. Anthony, but applies to all statuatory municipalities <br /> in the State" . <br /> Steve Kuzma, 1818 Arthur Street N.E. , told Mr. Springfield that he would <br /> be wrong to assume that because Mr. Kuzma is fairly young and single , <br /> he might be, a .good candidate for a customer of his pool hall, because <br /> he is opposed to this kind of business being mostly concerned with the <br /> welfare of the children and the elderly in the area. He foresees "an <br /> operation of this type will provide lots of opportunity for trouble" . <br /> • Carol Elson, 2331 Wilson Street N.E. , speculated the Coon Rapids <br /> operation "was not right in the..middle of a quiet neighborhood as it <br /> would be in St. Anthony" . She was told it was in a shopping mall. <br /> Mary Melchild, 2243 Taft Street N.E. , told the Council she lives right <br /> behind the shopping center where "the kids will pass my home on their <br /> way to and from the billiards hall" . She speculated, "when they run <br /> out of money, and with no jobs to be had , they ' ll break into our <br /> homes" . - <br /> Dorothy Dotola, 2616 Chest Armour Terrace, has been a resident of <br /> St. Anthony for 22 years and she- fears , "bringing in a low element <br /> from all over, could increase the number of burglaries in the City" , <br /> and, "next year, there may be more than just the two rapes reported in <br /> the City last year" . She is convinced "an all night pool hall is not <br /> the type of business St. Anthony residents want" . <br /> Diane Studt, 77 Oakwood Drive, New Brighton, said she graduated from <br /> St. Anthony .High School and her parents have lived in the City for 18 <br /> years and she can' t believe "-a business like this could fit into a <br /> quiet community like St. Anthony or would be good for the young people <br /> in the City" . <br /> Virginia Kieffer, 2613 - 27th Avenue N.E.. believes , "this is the last <br /> • type of business the City needs" , and -that "video games are just as <br /> addictive for children as alcohol and drugs" . <br />
