in his letter of April 6th, seemed valid. The Zoning and Planing Commission
recemaaends that the City Council of the City of Southlake approve the request,"
Submitted: G. N. Hargadine, Jr., Chairman.

A matter which had been held or tabled for a time was dissussed and settled.
On January 27, 1965, Mrs. Blanche Chambers had deposited $50.00 in the Southlake
Water Corporation account at the First National Bank. When the deposit slip was
at omr►'
received, the secretary informed the Water Board that Mrs. Chambers'
property was not located within the city limits, nor was it adjacent
or contiguous to the present bsundaries. Council elected to wait a
time before advising the lady, with the hope that &smoother property
owner in her area would ask for annexation and thus enable favorable
action on a request for annexation of her property if such request r
should be presented. However, since no such developments had occurred,
after discussion of the matter, by motion of J. D. Cate, seconded by
J. L.Clow, the secretary was instructed to issue a check in the amount w
of $50.00 as refund to Mrs. Chambers.
Routine bills were approved for payment, also the fees for the w
election officials, election supplies, and a statement from Circle
Communications in the amount of $28.56 for repairs en-the Marshal's
