the location some five years

Chairman Pat O'Day said here
Monday morning that he un-

the school last week inquiring
about the job.
The board met last Thurs-
day night in executive session
to consider any internal appli-

only one individual in the
school system who met all the
qualifications for the job, but
that he did not seek the post.
Bost did not say who this in-

and fellow employees of tlw
the city system for some

tne city .ttuiney, thcr
still a few who have not car-
plied with the ordinance.
“All these who have not
hooked on have been referred
u- the city attorney for ac-
tion," Mrs. Dorothy Cook,
city secretary told the coun-
cil. She said there was one
resident in the old town site
and some in the Westminister
addition who have not yet tied
in.
Cesare Galli, the city attor-
ney, told the council he had
notified each property owner
on a last warning basis and
the next step was legal action.
The council then ordered Gal-
li to file charges against each
property owner who had not
complied with the < rdinance.
In other comments concern-

Armbruster pointed out to the
council passage of a recent
ordinance regulating massage
parlors within the city limits
discriminated against chiro-
practors.
“The ordinance refers to
ily duly licensed physicians
and by so doing you eliminate
the chiropractor, who al-
though not a licensed physi-
cian, is licensed by the st?u,"
Armbruster said.
The council agreed and in-
structed the attorney to amend
the ordinance and eliminate
this problem.
As the city health officer,
Armbruster is also charged
with responsibility for in-
specting all eating establish-

Pearland City Councilman
Gene Sanders expressed con-
cern last week over the fact
that a member of the city's
garbage contractor firm had
been elected to public office
and asked the city attorney for
a legal opinion on the matter.
Billy E. Griffin, a partner
in the firm of Griffin and Grif-
fin Garbage Contractors, was
elected to a seat on the local
drainage commission on June
3. Griffin and Griffin have a
contract with the city to col-
lect garbage.
“I feel that this item is of
utmost importance at this time
since there is a request before
the council for an extension
of this contract and I’m con-
cerned as to whether or not
there may be some legal
ground for a conflict of in-
terest here," Sanders toldthe
council.
The garbage contractor has
a letter before council offer-
ing tc supply a dump site for
the next 10 years at a monthly
fee. The present contract runs
until 1972 and the contractor
has asked for an additional
five years if the city decides
to accept the new proposal.
Sanders said he understood
that there had been a case
with the Friendswood city
Council, Health Officer Meet,
\ Attorney To File Sewer unarges
the council.
“The recent health ordi-
nance passed by council was
a big step in the right direc-
tion. It may contain some
loop holes, but as Pearland
giuws, these loop holes can
be closed," Armbruster told
