I ask for a pull tab license had been the City firefighters, who <br /> • 2 wanted to set up the operation in the Stonehouse Bar for the benefit <br /> 3 of their members. This would seem to indicate a difficult task for <br /> 4 the Council to decide who would get one of a limited number of <br /> 5 licenses. <br /> 6 Narks indicated he would still never vote to allow pull tabs in St. <br /> 7 Anthony. <br /> 8 Kakowske told the Lions she had "really grappled" with this issue. <br /> 9 She said she had no problems with pull tabs themselves, but was <br /> 10 beginning to believe that pull tabs and lotteries might be starting <br /> 11 to "eliminate social consciences" and people might be substituting <br /> 12 gambling for giving directly to good causes. The Councilmember <br /> 13 indicated that at the same time she was having these reservations, <br /> 14 she had to acknowledge that, as pointed out in the last <br /> 15 Northeaster, there had been more than $750,000.00 in pull tab profits <br /> 16 which had been plowed back into the area charities. <br /> 17 Smooth commented that he perceived the need for funding such City <br /> 18 projects as the music pavilion, the City float, or major park <br /> 19 renovations might change some Council minds, but he agreed there were <br /> 20 still legal aspects of the issue which required further <br /> 21 clarification. <br /> 22 The matter was laid over a month for a further report from the Lions <br /> 23 on their meeting with the Chamber of Commerce and for further <br /> • 24 clarifications of the legalities involved in changing the ordinance. <br /> 25 REPORTS <br /> 26 COUNCIL <br /> 27 Study Shows No Defect in City Water Pressure System on 32nd and 33rd <br /> 28 Avenues <br /> 29 Sundland explained that the survey of the system reported in Larry <br /> 30 Hamer's July 12th memorandum, which was distributed before the <br /> 31 meeting, had been taken at his request after he had received a call <br /> 32 from a resident on 33rd Avenue N.E. complaining that the "City <br /> 33 wasn't delivering adequate water pressure. " The complainant had said <br /> 34 it took his wife 20 minutes in the morning to fill the dishpan. <br /> 35 Sr. Hamer reported: <br /> 36 *he had surveyed the water line on which the City had installed <br /> 37 a special system of pressure boosters to raise the water pressure for <br /> 38 a small pocket of homes on that line; <br /> 39 *the line runs along 33rd Avenue N.E. to the west side of <br /> 40 Rankin Road and back along 32nd Avenue N.E. to Silver Lake Road; <br /> • 6 <br />
