Mayor Hall explained the purpose of the meeting, advising that while
the Council was not in favor of industry in that section of the City, nevertheless
if the United States Navy wanted that particular site for the war effort, it
would have first consideration.
Protests against granting the lease were read by the Clerk, whereupon
the Mayor asked for the report of Councilmen Kirk and Reed as to their interview
with the Navy Officials at San Diego regarding the matter, which was to the
effect that the Navy was not particularly interested in the location, that it
was a matter between the contractors and the City and that no demand would be
made for any certain site for the construction of the docks, the report being
concurred in by both Councilmen Reed and Kirk.
P. A. Palmer addressed the Council expressing the views of the•
residents on Lido Isle as being very much opposed to the project. Albert Sparkes,
of the Newport Dredging Company, addressed the Council, stating that although
the Navy had requested this site, other sites were available.
After some discussion of the matter, it was moved by Councilman Kirk,
seconded by Councilman Allen and carried, that the City Attorney be instructed
not to prepare the lease asked for by the Haddock Company.
P. A. Palmer requested that if the question came up again that a few
days notice be given in order to prepare the necessary-protests against the
project.
