Minutes of the meeting of March 4 were approved as read; Treasurer's report dated March 4 showed a balance of 44784.95 and a copy was filed with the Clerk. Mr. Wm. S. Kelly, who submitted a plat on Sunnyridge Addition was referred to the Planning Commission to follow the procedure required of new platters. President Swenson stated that the meeting would be largely concerned with the hearing in the matter of an application of Messrs. Louis Gaineley and Joseph Wolf for license to operate an outdoor drive-in theatre. Opportunity was given to both proponents and opponents to present their views and submit written information for consideration by the Council. In general, the opposition to the granting of the license centered around the argument that it vo u1d con- tribute toward juvenile delinquency and present traffic problems, while those in favor of granting the license contended that it would not create a delinquency problem and would bring in a substantial license and tax revenue. A synopsis of the proceedings has been incorporated with a compiete file containing correspondence, petitions, references, etc. Mayor Swenson suggested that inasmuch as he felt the issue to be very controversial a referendum vote should be taken. It having been determined that the Council would not be bound by the results of such a. vote, the following; motion was made by Pinch; RESOLVED, That the Village Council approve the granting of an Outdoor Drive -In Theatre License as applied for by Mr. Wo if and Mr. Gainsley.
