With ,further reference to the locations of the -Negro Recreational Park facil- ities.for which bonds in the amount of $359,000.00 were approved for issue at a special .- general election held February 1, 1949, there was then presented the following recomm dations_of the City Planning Commission under date of June 3, 1949, signed by- William Nash, Chairman: June 3, 1949 "To the Honorable Mayor and Members of City Council of the City of Little Rock, Arkansas On May 3, 19490 the Planning Commission of the City of Little Rocks. Arkansas, received a letter from Mr. Sidney Kahn, Chairman of the Mayor's Negro Park Committee, in which was stated that the committee was%recommend- ing to.the Mayor and the City Council that, "nine lots,of Block 283, City - of Little Rock, be acquired, for development- of a colored community center, possible location of the proposed swimming pool, and possible use of a portion of the property so acquired for a neighborhood playground." The above mentioned lots are Nos. 1, 22 3, and 7 to 12 inclusive, Block 283, _ City of Little Rock, and are in the block bounded by 13th and 14th Streets, Cross and Ringo`Streets. The letter further stated, "This communication is addressed to you for pre- sentation at the next meeting of the Planning Commission as a prerequisite to their action and for passing on to Mayor Wassail and the City - -Council." After due eonsideration of the above mentioned site and after consultation with the architect retained by the City, the Planning Commission recommends disapproval of-lots it 2, 3, and 7 to 12 inclusive, Block 283,.City of Littli Rock as ,a site for the proposed community center for the following reasons: 1. The commission believes that for efficiency of operation and maintenance, all the facilities should be located on one site. - 2. The site is too small for the adequate development of a community building, swimming pool, and playground. _ 3. The area is of inadequate size for the development of the building alone, with the necessary off - street parking facilities. The traffic on 14th Street would be congested, during the periods of use of the.facilitles as a result of inadequate parking facilities. In the event.-the Lochner Plan, tenta tively approved by the City Council, is carried out, there o• would be a greater number of cars travelling on 14th Street. This would be a result of the development of Chester and Izards Streets as one way streets and the extension of loth Street as a through traffic street to Frasier Pike. 5. Since the area is small, it would have to be expanded in the future to meet the requirements of good planning. However, there are existing churches and commercial buildings, the loca- tions of which would make a logical expansion of the grounds extremely expensive. 6. The traffic on 14th Street, immediateli adjacent to the site, would be an ever present danger to the people using the facili- tiese On May 12th, the Planning Commission received a communication -from the Little Rock Parks °and.Recreation Commission, recommending the South End School ground and Crump Park for the location of the negro swimming pool, athletic field, and playground. 111 1 0 a Li a �I IJ 145 June 6, 1949 - Cont'd After due consideration and study the Planning Commission respectfully recommends-to the Mayor'and City Council- that Crump Field; South End. School, and additional land both east and west of the South End School ground; more particularly described as blocks 3, 4, 8, 9, 10, and 11, and lots 7, 8, 9, '10, 11, and 12 of block 7, all in A. E. Calloway Addition to the City of Little Rock, Arkansas and block 12 of Woodlawn Addition t'o the City of Little Rock; Arkansas be acquired.for the development of a community building, swimming pool, playground, and athletic field, along the general lines as shown by a sketch presented by the architect.to the Planning Commission on May 25, 1949• The Mayor verbally requested the City Planning Commission to give early consideration to _the neighborhood parks listed below that had been re- commended by the Mayorfs Negro Park Committee. 1. Crump Field-Area (a) South End School ground 33rd and State - Streets (b) Athletic Field Blocks 7, 8,_and 11 Calloway Addition 20 South one -half of Philander Smith property, 20th and Washington Streets 3. Block.bounded by East 4th and East 5th Streets and by Reichardt and Kimball Streets 4. Block bounded by West 15th.and 17th Streets and by Maple and Valentine Streets. 5. 3/4 of the block bounded by 13th and 14th Streets and Ringo and Cross Streets. - • The City Planning Commission respectfully recommends the following: 1. The development.'of parts of the Crump Field Area for a playground and athletic field as recommended in an earlier part of this communication. 2. That the Southeast corner of the Philander Smith property at 'West 20th and Washington Streets, not to exceed one•square block in area, be acquired and developed for a neighborhood park. 1. 3:- Disapproval of -the block bounded by-East 4th and East 5th Streets and Reichardt "and Kimball Streets. The proximity of this site to,the school'at 5th and Bender and the possibility of the general area to develop industrially makes this site undesirable for the development of a park. The Commission-recommends the acquisition of as much land as practicable in the blocks bounded by Calhoun and'Townsend Streets and•7t1i and 8th Streets. The land should be acquired in such a manner as to expand the existing school ground within the area, so a larger and more useful playground will be available for public use. 11 1 The-.City Planning Commission believes that there are insufficient funds at this time to- purchase additional sites for neighborhood parks other than - the three recommended above. "" There was also presented a petition signed by 47 residents of the City, as follows: "We,, the undersigned wish to-voice our disapproval of the proposed swimming pool being constructed out of the City limits of the City of Little Rock, Arkansas. We are hoping that in the final analysis the decision -will be for the construction of the pool'within the 'City limits because we are of the opinion that it will be of greatest benefit to the citizens (Negro) within the limits of the City. The site approved by the Planning Com= Q­• mission "is the most desirable, and.best serve the greater portion of Negro citizens." A number of Negro citizens being in attendance, one group favoring the location of the Community Building at the "14th and Ringo Site," and the location.of the Swimming Pool, Athletic'Field, and Tennis Courts at Gillam Park, and another group favoring the loca- tion,of all these facilities at the "South End Site" as recommended by the City Plannin Commission, were extended the courtesy of the floor.

"We had a letter from.Mayor Wassell some few months back requesting that this department provide some method of controlling and making safer the traffic at'the intersection of Roosevelt Road and Asher Avenue. We assembled data with pictures pertaining to this intersection and sent this material to the Traffic Department of Yale University, which we understand is tops in traffic engineering for the United States. The intersection was laid out according to their instructions, and we"believe ' that it is handling the traffic and making it much safer. Subsequent to the receipt of your letter we made a survey at this intersection, a copy of which is attached. As you know, the streets and highways are primarily built for the traveling public and not for property owners-who happen to own adiacent property. According to the survey that we caused to be made 82.6% of the automobile drivers contacted were in favor of the controlled method which is there at the present time. We would like to have your Traffic Department investigate and check this method of control, and if they find it satisfactory, we desire to install permanent curbs, filling the centers with soil and sodding with grass. After this is completed we are requesting the City to install an overhead light with sufficient illumination to light the entire intersection in order that traffic may properly see the curbs and lanes through which it will flow." < Upon motion of Alderman Evans, seconded by Alderman Mills, the matter was referred to the Transportation Committee.

(3) That the proposed swimming pool, together with other recreational facilities for baseball, softball, and picnic areas,.be constructe in -1950 in the northeast corner of Gilliam Park. OR c4) That construction of the proposed community center as provided by present bond funds be postponed until such time as a suitable site consisting of approximately two square blocks can be obtained through the slum clearance.program in a central location in the slum or blighted area which now exists between Dunbar High School and the U. M. Rose School. (5) That the Southend (Crump Park) Site be leased from the school be under suitable terms -and developed as a neighborhood park and play ground with facilities for baseball, softball, football, tennis, etc; but, without the construction of permanent building improve- ments thereon. (6) That in cooperation with the slum clearance and urban re- develop- ment program an area of approximately sixteen square blocks north of the northwest corner of the Airport be cleared to provide the required runway extension and instrument approach zone for the Airport. It is recommended that approximately twelve square block of this area be developed for a Negro park affording facilities for baseball, softball, football, etc. (7) In cooperation with the Little Rock Housing Authority.a neighbor- hood park and,playground of approximately twelve acres be acquired south and east of Tuxedo Courts and developed to provide facili -' ties for baseball, softball, football, etc. r OR I t 1 e - Cont +d X75 On the pages which follow, your committee sets forth some of the reasons supporting the above recommendations. Your attention is respectfully invited to the fact that under the recommendations set i forth above: (a) The entire proceeds of the Negro Park Bond Issue will be used exclusively and specifically for the purposes for which voted, (b) Without any cost to the City other than the bond fund, the program recommended will provide: (1) , A swimming pool. ('2 ) A centrally located community center. (3) Five Negro parks located in relation to the scattered Negro population. .(4) 'Three fireproof community, and recreational buildings, -t o be constructed by the Little Rock Housing Authority adja- cent to the Eastend Park, Gilliam Park, and the proposed Tuxedo Court Park. The construction costs of these three community and recreational centers will be wholly paid from federal funds. Your committee urgently recommends that city officials contact the Little Rock School Board in an effort to persuade the latter to postpone the construction of the proposed new Gibbs Grade School for Negroes until such time as this school can be constructed on not less than two blocks of slum cleared property in the central area-(between Dunbar-and U. M. Rose Schools). It is the considered opinion of this committee that the recommendations outlined above will not unjustly delay park facilities for our colored citizens, but will, .in fact, provide park, recreational, community, and housing- facilities adequate to meet the present needs as well as the future needs of our Negro citizens. It should likewise be pointed out that if construction of park facilities proceeds as originally planned, expenditures will total 379,000.00. It is carefully es- timated that the program as recommended herein will involve an expenditure of approximately 1910,000,000.00 on urban re- development, housing, recreational, park and community facilities for Negroes. At a later date, your committee will submit recommendations on a program for parks and public housing for white citizens, and a program of slum clearance to provide industrial sites. Very truly yours,^ J. V. Satterfield, Jr. Chairman Pat Mehaffy -C. N. Hope ° C. C. Rubenstein Cotesworth P. Lewis Y I. S. McClinton F. D. Adams JVSjr /tl THE PROPOSED SOUTHEND (CRUMP PARIS) SITE At the time the Southend (Crump Park) Site was selected by the City Planning Commission and approved by the City Council, the two bodies were-confronted ,with the necessity of acquiring.ground for the Negro Park, swimming pool, and community building without cost to the City. Under such restrictions, it appears that the selection of this site was well and conscientiously done. Now that the City has the opportunity to.avail itself of federal funds in the acquisition of more suitable sites and the construction of additional park and community facilities, it is recommended that this site be leased only for develop ment as a neighbo%hbod� park andl,playgroundrwitYlout any permanent improvements sue] as swimming pools or.permanent buildings being constructed thereon. The reasons submitted for this recommendation are as follows: (.1) It is not believed in the best public interest to use bond funds to construct permanent improvements ori'leased property. (2) Any expenditure of bond funds on this or any other leased property will not be accepted by the federal government as an offset or credit in the over -all program for park, recreational, community, or housing facilities for Negro citizens. (3) The site is subject to periodic inundation both from flood'backwaters and surface drainage coming from Swagerty Branch. No.protection what- ever is afforded this site as a result of the recent seawall construc- tion. (4) The site is on the extreme southern fringe of the City and in an area where there is little if any possibility for.future increase in Negro population. (5) Your committee understands that reason #4 above is one of the primary t r 276 r factors which motivated the school board in abandoning the site for the new Southend Grade School, and prompted the selection of the present site on South Main Street, west of Tuxedo Courts. If this property can be leased from the school board and developed in conjunction with Crump Park for neighborhood athletics and related park and recreational activi- ties, it is believed that this;is the ultimate development that should be attempted. GILLIAM PARK The reasons for our committee's recommending the construction of the swimming pool for Negroes and other park facilities in the northeast corner of Gilliam Park are as =_ _ follows; (1) Under the program of public housing slum clearance, and urban re- development, the Little Rock Housing Authority plans to- acquire approximately fifty acres of land, fronting on the Pine Bluff high- way and lying between 41st Street (city limits) and the northeast corner of Gilliam Park. On this'site, it is understood that four hundred public housing units for Negro citizens will be constructed. The federal funds for the construction of these units will carry a sufficient amount of money to construct a fireproof community and recreational building having approximately 50,000 square'feet of space, to be located in or adjacent,to Gilliam Park. (2) Under the urban re- development phase of this program,. approximately 338 dwellings located in the area bound by College Street, 41st Street, Ohio Avenue, will be cleared and re- developed under FHA Land Planning supervision for development by private enterprise, as a privately owned, colored residential community. This program of private re- development of this slum area and the construction of 400'units of public housing will place a Negro community of from three to four thousand population immediately adjacent to Gilliam Park. (3) The.new highway :leading south from town is an assured fact, and it is programmed for construction by the Arkainsas'State Highway Department during 1950. This new highway will connect with Highway #65 and High- way # 167 several miles south of Little Rock. This new 4 -lane highway will.run through Gilliam Park. Thus, access to the park can be had in the near future both from the new highway and from the Pine Bluff Highway. (4) This new 4 -1ane highway will bring Gilliam Park to within approximately 25 blocks of Ninth and Main Streets intersection. Upon completion of the 400 public housing units, which will join Gilliam Park to the city limits, the Biddle Shop bus line turn - around can be extended to within 2 blocks of the swimming pool. The recommended development for Gilliam Park, the investment of approximately three and a half million dollars of public housing units3adjacent to the park, and the pri- vate re- development of the Granite Mountain park area, offer the only known possibili ty for meeting the pressing demand for proper and adequate housing for Negro citizens combined with adequate recreational facilities. CENTRAL AREA SITE FOR COMMUNITY CENTER In the Central area of the city, bounded approximately by Eighth Street on the North, Broadway on the East, Wright Avenue on the South, and High Street on the Nest, there are approximately 66 blocks of slum and blighted areas which, under provisions of Public Law 171, ere eligible for slum clearance and urban re- development. It is recommended that construction of the proposed Community Center Building,'to be financed with Negro Park Bond funds,'be postponed until such time as a site consisting of not less than two blocks of ground can be procured in this area through the Slum Clearance Program for the construction of the Community Center. It is believed that the benefit to be derived from the location of the city financed Community Center in this area are so obvious as to need no further comments. Your committee is recommending that the City Government and the School Board work out a joint program in connection with the construction of the new Gibb -s School so that this school ,can likewise be located on two blocks of ground in the central area. Your committee understands that if it is necessary for the School Board to acquire the site, for the Gibbs School, available funds will not permit the school to construct a cafeteria and provide a playground. The joint program recommended will delay the con- struction of the riew school for'some twelve months, but will permit the school Board to construct a. cafeteria and provide an urgently needed playground of not-less than one block for the school.. EAST END PARK SITE If approximately sixteen square blocks of slum area North of the 'Northwest Corner of the`Airport is cleared, as recommended by this committee,_it will permit the badly needed runway extension beyond the present boundaries df the Airport and provide an instrument approach zone which has become a necessity. It will likewise permit the city to establish an East End Park for Negroes having an area of approximately twelve square blocks lying between the new.Negro School and the proposed 200 units of public housing to be constructed for 'Negroes.. In connection with the development of the public housing units and the.park in this J I I I r 1 I I December 19. 19LQ - Cont +d area, the Little Rock Housing Authority will have federal funds with which to co a.fire proof community and recreational building containing approximately 26,000 feet. TUXEDO COURTS PARK At the present time there are 100 low rent housing units for negroes constituting Tuxedo Courts. The Little Rock Housing Authority is having plans prepared for the ".erection of an additional 1�0 housing units, which will give Tuxedo Courts a total of 250 units. In connection with the expansion of Tuxedo Courts the Little Rock Housing Authority 'plans the acquisition of approximately 10 acres of land to be developed into a neigh- borhood park and playground to provide athletic and other recreational activities. This number of housing units will permit the Housing Authority to construct a fire proof community building containing approximately 302000 square feet of space. This park will be located approximately two blocks from the new South end school for negroes, and it will be immediately adjacent to the new housing units to be built in Tuxedo Courts. The community building and playground and park will be available to negro citizens living in the general area as well as to the low income families living in Tuxedo Courts. ' It should be emphasized that the acquisition of the park site and the construction of the Community building will be done wholly from federal funds." Upon motion of Alderman Corley, seconded by Alderman Loy, said report was referred to the City Planning Commission for study and early recommendations to the City Council. In connection with the proposed construction of improvements as contem- plated from proceeds of the sale of X359,000.00 (converted to $400,000.00) Park' -Im- provement Bonds, issue of March 1, 1949, there was then presented a proposed lease covering one of the areas previously approved by the City Council as a location for some of said improvements, said area known as Crump Park or the "South End Site" located in the vicinity of 33rd and State Streets, said proposed lease to be executed by the Little Rock Special School District, as Lessor, and the City of Little Rock, as Lessee, together with 'a written opinion from the City Attorney under date of December 16, 1949, addressed to the-Mayor, as follows: "Dear Mayor Wassell: I am in receipt of your letter of recent date in which I*ou enclosed a pro- posed lease between the Little Rock School District and the City cf Little Rock con- cerning the property known as the South End School and Crump Field Area. This lease is for a term of 25 years with an option to renew on the part of the City for an additional 25 years, providing--the City signifies its intention to renew such lease in writing six months before the expiration of the first lease period Thenconsideration for the leasing of this site is to be.a lease by the City of Little Rock to the School District of the site and building in War Memorial Park known.as Technical High School. This lease further provides that the City of Little Rock shall grant the use of the facilities placed upon said property (community recreational center) to negro students.between the hours of.3 :30 P. M. and 6:00 P. M. four days each week during the school term. I, The lease further provides that the City shall maintain the property, pay'. all the special improvement taxes thereon, and at the expiration of said lease such improvements shall become the property of the Little Rock School District. This lease further provides that the City shall provide for insurance upon _such buildings with companies satisfactory to the School Board, and the interest of the School Board in such property and buildings shall be stated inssuch insurance policies. The amount of insurance to be taken out upon the buildings built there by the City of Little Rock shall be subject to arbitration if the City and School Board cannot agree thereon. In view of the wording of the case of Vaughan v. City of Searcy, 135 S. W. 2d, 319, it is extremely doubtful whether or not the City of Little Rock would be em- powered,to expend money derived from its bond sale for the erection of recreational i facilities upon property leased for only the period as is proposed by this lease, f[ particularly in view of the fact that the improvements placed thereon must be main- tained by the City during the term of the lease and at the expiration thereof become the-property of the Little Rock School.District. At the termination of the lease any improvements placed thereon would pass out of the control of the City of LittleRock, and the Little Rock School Board could do.with the property and facilities thereon as it deemed fitting and proper under the circumstances, and regardless of the legality thereof, I do not consider such an agreement to be in the best interest of the people of the City of Little Rock. I am further of the opinion that the 'clause in the Lease which provides that the insurance taken out upon such building shall be arbitrated would not be valid, inasmuch as the State Statutes require such purchases on behalf of the City to be made by its Board\of Public Affairs. Neither do I believe that property to negro students contra to the rights of the other negroes of our community who are not stu- dents. 278 December 19, 1949 - Cont'd i In addition to the above objections to said lease, your attention is called to the fact that moneys expended upon leased property for recreational facilities.will not be moneys with which we can participate in the slum clearance program of the Federal Government, inasmuch as any improvements or recreational facilities which we place upon leased property will not be acknowledged by the Federal Government, and the City will be unable to take credit therefor. In connection with the proposal to secure.Federal funds for slum clearance t there was then presented a communication from the Little Rock Beautiful Commission com- mending the Mayor for his action in delaying the development of negro park and recrea= tion facilities "in order to obtain additional funds from the Federal Government to clean.slums'and for the general betterment of Little Rock," which communication, uponr motion of Alderman Loy, seconded by Alderman Corley, was referred to the City Pianning Commission. There was then presented Ordinance No. 8163; entitled: I� AV ORDINANCE APPROVING AND AUTHORIZING THE EXECUTION OF A COOPERATION AGREE- ' MENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF LITTLE ROCK, ARKANSAS, AND THE HOUSING AUTHORITY OF THE CITY • i OF LITTLE ROCK, ARKANSAS; which ordinance was read the first time; and'by unanimous vote of the members of the' Council present, being nine in number and more than two - thirds of the members of the Council- elect, upon motion of Alderman Loy, seconded by Alderman Kerr, the rules -were, I In view of the above, if it is still your desire to expend this negro park bond money for facilities to be placed upon leased property, , it is strongly recommended that before any moneys are expended upon the development of this area out of.the bond funds under a lease such as is proposed by the School District, that a friendly test suit be instituted in order that it may be determined whether or not the.-,City may legally expend money for such recreational facilities upon leased property which would ultimately become the possession of the Little Rock School District in order that:all parties disbursing these funds may be protected. ^ Yours very truly, T.

Council Chamber, Little.Rock, Arkansas, January 23, 1950 - 8 :00 P.M. The Ci.ty.Council of the City of Little Rock, Arkansas met in regular ses- sion with Mayor Sam M. Wassell presiding, and City Clerk H. C. Graham and the following Aldermen present:. Kerr, Horner, Corley, Loy, Coffman, Sims,'Griffey; Evans, Lander and Mills_- total 10; Absent - none... There being a quorum present, and it being so announced, the following proceedings were had: The reading of the minutes of the previous meeting was dispensed with upon motion of Alderman Coffman, seconded by Alderman Corley. There was then presented a Referendum Petition signed by a number of rest- dents of the City asking that Ordinance No. 8161 of the ordinances of the City of Little Rock, passed December 19, 1949, entitled: "AN ORDINANCE APPROVING AND AUTHO- q�tll � 294 January 23, 1950 - Cont'd - I' ill RIZING THE EXECUTION -OF A COOPERATION AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF LITTLE ROCK, ARKANSAS, AND THE HOUSING AUTHORITY OF THE CITY OF LITTLE ROCK, ARKANSAS;" be referred to the.people of the City at a special election and that the Council set a date for said election thereon. The City Clark stated that said petition was filed in his office on January 17, 1950 at 4:15 o'clock p.m; that the total vote cast for the offic of Mayor in the last preceding election was 414 and that fifteen per cent of -this num- ber equaled 63 which was the required number of qualified signers on a referendum petition at this time. The City Clerk stated that a check of the names on said -peti- tion in the current list of qualified electors, as compiled by the officials of Pulask County, resulted in the following-tabulation: Qualified signers 495 Insufficient signatures 9 Illegible signatures 3 Duplicate signatures l Total' X88' City Attorney T. J. Gentry was then called upon for an opinion as'to whether or riot said ordinance was referable tinder the provisions of the referendum -laws, and the following opinion dated January 23; 1950 addressed to the Mayor and City Council was read., 5 °I -am inr:receipt of your request for an opinion as to whether or not Ordinance No: -8163, passed-December 19, 1949, is referable under the terms. and provisions of the initiative and referendum amendment (Amendment No.'!) to the C,onstitution of the State of Arkansas. Ordinance No. 8163 is an ordinance permitting the City of'Little Rock to enter into'a contract, and creates no new law. Said ordinance is an adminis- trative or executive enactment by the Council, and therefore not subject to the referendum provision of the 7th Amendment to the Arkansas Constitution. In the case of Chastain v. City of Little Rock, 185 S.W. 2d 95, 208 Ark. 142, the Supreme Court held upon this subject as follows: "We deem it unnecessary to determine whether Section 4 of the ordinance involved herein contained recitals suffi- cient to declare an emergency, for the reason that this ordinance is not such a measure as is made subject to a referendum by the initiative and referendum amendment to the constitution of this state, Amendment No. 7, adopted November 2, 1920. In the - portion of this amendment relating to the power to invoke a referendum this language appears: 'The word 'measure' as used herein includes any bill, law, resolution, ordinance,; charter, constitutional amendment or legislative proposal or enactment of any character.' The referendum, therefore, may not be invoked except against a. legislative proposal or enactment.' "The supreme court of Oklahoma, in the case of Brazell v. Zeigler, 26 Okl. 8269 110 P. 1052, 1054, said: 'It was the intent to make the procedure in municipal leg islation as nearly as practicable the same as the initia- tive and referendum procedure for measures relating to the people of the state at large -- showing clearly that the machinery provided by the•act was intended to be applicable to refer to a vote of the people, only state and municipal legislation.' _ "'The referendum''is confined to legislative matters as distinguished from administrative or executive, even though it is exercised by ordinance or resolution, in.the absence of a very clear declaration to the contrary.' -Note L.R.A. 1917B9 p. 23. "'In the absence of a very clear declaration to the contrary, it must be presumed that the power of referendum was intended to apply solely to the legislative powers of the city.' Hopping v.,Council of City of Richmond, 170 Cal. ` 605, 150 P. 977, 979• " .In the note to Keigley v. Bench, 122 A.L.R. 756, the annotator says (pp. 769, 772): 'It.is the general rule that initiative and referendum provisions are applicable only to acts which are legislative in character, and are not appli- cable to those dealing with administrative or executive matters ...'�� In view of the above annunciation by the Supreme Court on the 5th day of February, 1945, it appears conclusive that only legislative matters are re- ferable under said amendment,sand as the ordinance in question does not `create any new legislation, but,is merely-an administrative or executive act of enter- ing into a contract for th (fpurpose of carrying into execution a law already enacted, the City Council / he City of Little Rock has no authority to call an 0 295 PURPOSES; which ordinance was read the first time;•and by unanimous vote of the members of the Council present, being ten in number and more than two - thirds of the members of the Council- elect, upon motion of Alderman Coffman, seconded by Alderman Horner, the rules were suspended and the ordinance read,the second time; and by unanimous vote of the members of the Council present, being ten in number and more than two - thirds of the members of the Council - elect, upon motion of Alderman Coffman, seconded by Alderman Kerr, the rules were again suspended and the ordinance read the third and last time, and the Aye and No vote taken upon the question, Shall the Ordinance Pass, the result being as follows: Ayes - Kerr, Horner, Corley, Loy, Coffman, Sims, Griffey, Evans, . Lander and Mills - total 10; Noes - none; Absent - none. Whereupon, said ordinance was declared passed. The emergency section, being Section 7, of,Ordinance No..8184 was read and, a roll call being had, same was adopted by the following vote: Ayes - Kerr, Horner, Corley, Loy, Coffman, Sims, Griffey, Evans, Lander and Mills - total 10; _ Noes - J January 23, 1950 - Cont'd election for the people.of the City of Little Rock to vote upon the adoption or rejection of Ordinance No. 8163•" After considerable discussion, upon motion of Alderman Corley, seconded by Alderman Griffey, said referendum petition was tabled by the following roll call: Ayes - Kerr, Horner, Corley, Loy, Coffman,.Sims, Griffey, Evans and Lander - total 9; Noes - Mills - total 1; Absent - none.
