W. N. Ratcliff was then heard and an informal discussion centered
' around his land in what is known as the Lakevue area. Council
agreed to assist him in any way feasible when and if his plans
reached the point where he could present a positive outline or
his proposed development. The land at present is zoned resi-
dential, as is all of the Southlake area in its original incor-
poration. L
Next came a discussion of how to aid Mr. Harry Boyer in his efforts
i to obtain telephone service. The Bell System had refused to in-
stall a phone since Mr. Boyer now resides within the city limits;
Southwestern States had declined on the basis that Bell had not
released the area and they were bound by the governmental re-
striction "no duplication of services". The secretary was in-
structed to write the necessary letters in this regard.
