It is already understood that the Cayuga Heights representatives aru to be appointed by the Mayor of that Community, and the representatives ofthe Town of Ithaca by Mr. Harry Gordon the Town Supervisor. I now ask the Ithaca City Council for authority to appoint the Ithaca City representatives to this joint fact finding committee„ 4s this joint committee will undoubt;dly find it necessary to have certain surveys and maps drawn it is necessary that they be author- ized to draw on the respective funds av�Al:ably of the threo corporate districts involved in the investigation in amounts to a total for all thr,::e of I should say not to exceed �1000.00. It is to be further und�rstcoC_ that the Joint Com-,itteeshall b g authorized to call in for consultatii)n, acvice and technical informa- tion any members of the City, Village or Township administration as may b:; required to assist the fact finding committee to arrive at a. proper and equitable decision f l;r r1- c-: mr nandation to the voters of the City, Village of Cayuga Heights anal Town of Ithaca. I also recommend that tho Joint Committee if an ,then appointee'. shall elect its own Chairman and that it shrill be allowed to use the Council Room in the City Hall for its meetings at such times as may not conflict with its regular use for City affairs. I belicv, thfit if such an ext >nsi,�,n r f the City limits as outlined above can be accomplished it �xill be of greet benefit to all the parties concerned. ANGIMINP Respectfully submitted, Arthur N.

Tioga St, as an entrance and South Aurora St, as an exit from the terminal, He stated that he has made a count of traffic in Aurora St*, and with the possible exception of the hour between 4;30 and E:30 P,M. there seems to be no time when use of this exit would create a hazard, and that he would be willing to use Tioga St. as an exit, at hours when the Police Dept. felt Aurora St, should not be used, He also stated that safety Engineers of the Greyhound Lines have approved the area as a terminal and the use of the Aurora St. exit, Police Commissioner Chambers expressed the opinion that use of 4, Aurora St. as an exit will create a distinct hazard due to the hill traffic and he recommended denial of the request, and suggested that an area somewhat removed from the Central business section would be more suitable for a bus terminal, He recommended that in the event permission is granted to use the Aurora Sto, exit that the City require rerouting of all bus lines to eliminate left hand urns in congested areas.

H, Mae Daniels: February 5, 1947 422 Chestnut Street Ithaca, New York Mayor Arthur N. Gibbs Chairman Common Council Ithaca., New York My dear Mayor Gibb t At the recent annual meeting of the Vest iill Civic Association which was well attended by eitijens of the, 'guest Hill area., the following resolution was passed. Resolved, that the West Hill Civic Association write to the Common Council expressing their thanks to the Common Council, the Board of Health and the Board of Public Vvorks for their efforts in r.iosquito control during the past year and urge th,t this program be continued and extended during the 1947 season, In discussing this resolution it was pointed out that in the long run it would be much to the advantage of the whole program to esta- blish a policy of eliminating areas where mosquitoes bred, This can be done either by filling or drainage, filling of course being the more lasting procedure. A possible suggestion is lowering the US S Common Council Proceedings «3- Feb. 5, 1947 grade of the city dump so that thgt area would be filled more quickly. Later ont the grade of the dump could bo raised. During the past year the Common Council with the cooperation of the Town Board of Supervisors provided funds for Dr„ Darsie from the Entomology Department to serve as inspector to keep track of the breeding areas. This would seem to be highly desireable during the coming season, Mr. Darsie has maps indicating the areas where mosquitoes were breeding last year and is quite willing to cooperate with the Board of Health and the Board of Public Works in planning the soasonts work. Mr. Darsie, however, will not be able to serve in the capacity of inspector during the coming season. It is quite likely thit some other member of the Entomology Department could be secured.

"The West Hill Civic AB-sociation strongly urges the Common Council to provide the City Planning Commission with adequate appropria- tions to immediately undertake A broad, long-range city-wide pro- gram consistent with modern city planning,covering such phases as streetso flow of through traffic, parking, location of business w_ and industry, public buildings, eduentional developments, residential and recreational areas" o The discussion on this matter brought out these statements: 10 There has never boon long-term city planning. Any piecemeal plans have been made without.due relation to an over-all future program. Current example is the construction of the 'Nest Buffalo Street bridge.. 2. The movement of residents And building outside the city limits is due to no little ext•nt to failure to adequately plan and develop desireabl:; residential areas and encourage building within the city. Continuance of t;ha st itus quo will sped up this trond, resulting in a declining property valuation to carry the lo:d of incronsed city services. 34e-Mast sheet �.29 Common Council Proceedings +4- Feb. 5, 1947 4.

LICENSE PROPOSED FOR PLUMB]RS AND RETAILERS OF PLUMBING FIXTTJRE�3. i y Attorney pr;sen e the. fo otivin� letter from the City Plumbing Inspc;ctor, 11 Mr. D. i3oardman Luc 102 W* State; otreet Ithaca, New York D�.I ar Bo urdman; May 7, 1947 A sugg<>stion to take care of a condition that could bring about a s rious health hazzard. The store keepers of Ithaca have taken on the selling of plumbing fi„tures to the general public and in so doing your inspector has no way of knowing who buys or w;ho installs them. The code says all fixtures connecting to public sewers or water must be; done by a license 3 plumber. When a licensed plumber does this he has to make, a report and the report is used as a permanent record of that build- in� . Would it be possible to hav,; included in our city and health rules a ruling to license all dcalers in any fixture or applicance 0 Common Council Proceedings -4- May 7, 1947 that is connected to our city water or city sewers? The license to cost a hominal sum. This applys to all, including; master plumbers, This to have teeth and so worded as to bring about complete informa- tion and inspection. This would permit us to have rocordst accurate within reason. It might be well to contact some of the master plur:ibers and get their roaetion to this. The only way it would effect them would be a small f,,a. Of course w e would have the mail order houses to eontond with but I think they would cooperate. I think this should bu thr'tshed over by the committees mostly interested. Hoping you can do somotliing with this I remain Very truly yoursy V1, D. Tut t on Plumbing Inspoctor WDT;aho.
