J. (Bill) Strickler relative to the consideration of major improvements for Bayway Drive, a thoroughfare which extends from West Baytown, westerly and northerly, to intersect with Decker Drive on the north. Baytown Drive had been omitted from the proposed $3 million street improvement program proposed for con- sideration in the February City -bond election because it is a county road. Mr. Strickler Informed the council that this main artery had been endorsed for improvement by the Baytown Chamber of Commerce after the Chamber's Highway Committee conducted a thorough study of the need of such improvement. He urged the Council to include this project in the study and recommended the reference of the project to the Citizens Street Committee, Chaired by Harry F. Massey for implementation. Councilman Lively asked to be placed on a Committee for the purpose of-meeting with V. V. Ramsey, County Commissioner, to discuss the need for a study for the improvement of Bayway Drive by joint participation between the City and County. It is hoped that such a study may be conducted in conjunction with the Citizens Street Committee. The Council approved the recommendation and Mr. Massey will be requested to include the major improvement of Bayway Drive in the Committee's study in order for plans to be formulated which will fit into the City's capital improve- ment program. _ Tom Roeder - Human Relations Council Tom Royder, Chairman of the Humans Relation Committee, met with the Council to make public the recommendation-of the Committee, to name one colored and one Latin - American to the five -man Baytown Housing Commission as 50% of the units are occupied by negro citizens and 7%, occupied by Latin Americans. The terms of two commissioners expire in April, 1965.

Taylor, George West, and Mrs. E. A. Kirk, residents living near the lounge and signing the petition, told of the littering, loud noises from the juke box, cursing and general nuisance creat- ed by the operation of the lounge; the place was a definite nuisance to respectable families living within the neighborhood and property values had declined since the lounge had opened.
