Protest - Cemetery Locgtion - Colored
Walter Queen, attorney, appeared before the Council and requested the Council
not to waive the city's subdivision restrictions., if asked, to allow the develop-
ment of a colored cemetery within a white community. He told the Council that he
was representing the community of Coady which lies adjacent to the city limit line
on the northwest. The residents within the community objected to the development
of any type cemetery within the community, especially colored, and a petition
had been circulated and signed by the property owners stating their objections,
however, it was feared that this petition would not suffice. The Mayor informed
the group that the Council would give all the assistance possible to prevent
the development of a cemetery within the community. He suggested that the City
Attorney meet with their attorney and review the facts of the case. If it is
decided that the proposed development can be classified as a subdivision, the
Council will exercise its rights concerning the development of a subdivision with-
in the five (5) mile radius of the city limit line and move to force the developers
to comply with the city's subdivision ordinance. If this can not be done the Mayor
suggested that the Attorney for the community file a formal protest in court.
