Councilman Sleight took his seat at 7:50 P.M.
Application of Edward Schroetlin to operate a pool room at 715 Higuera Street was
presented to the Council.
Mr. Gil Brown presented to the City Council a petition signed by 50 people,
protesting the establishment of a pool and beer hall at 715 Higuera Street as
it is not congenial with the type of lbusiness in.the area and would not add
anything to the environment if allowed at this location.
Harry Lacterman appeared before the Council objecting to the establishment of
a pool hall on Higuera Street as there is no doubt that property values would
be lowered if this type of establishment is allowed in this location. Further,
he asked that hb be notified of future meetings on this subject.
John Bazin objected to the establishment of the pool hall in this area as he
believes that the corner of Higuera and Broad Street is a potentially good
business corner due to the access of Broad Street as an east and west arterial. ,
Also, he believes another pool hall and beer establishment in this vicinity
would further drag this area down as has been done in the block below Broad St.
In accordance with the provisions of section 6100.10, the matter was held over
to a public hearing on February 16, 1959 at 8 P.M.
