2N April 23, 1976 ST. LOUIS POST-DISPATCH Berkeley Council Considering Occupancy Permit Ordinance HHIIIIlalaiBRBMHnHnSiH this place," Quaethem said. Weir said that if both black and white residents worked together they could preserve Berkeley from the fate of other cities where tactics of real estate companies had created overnight ghettos. Presentation of an initial plan for a housing permit can be expected within the next month or so, City Manager Larry M. Arft said.

In other action the council approved a three-year solid waste contract with Wilson Refuse Hauling Co. The new contract, which will take effect on July 1, will include a discount plan for older residents with small amounts of trash, Arft said. Clerk Eva Lee Monroe. Weir said after the council meeting that the standards ordinance was useless because it did not allow for property insepctions. Clyde Alcorn, a 20 year resident of Berkeley, expressed his support of the proposed legislation.

He told of large groups of people who either live in or congregate at a house in his neighborhood. "There are just more people there than there is room to house them," he commented. Quaethem said he expected residents in his ward to come out in force to protest the passage of an occupancy permit ordinance. "My people will fill Riverview Making Fifth Try For School Tax Increase The Berkeley City Council has nounced its intention to consider passage of an occupancy permit ordinance, simi-liar to one in effect in University City. Such an ordinance would require that inspections be made on properties before they are rented or sold and would place a limit on the number of people occupying a dwelling.

There have been reported instances of as many as 15 or more people living in one two-bedroom house in the city, Mayor Ronald D. Taylor said at a Monday night council meeting. "We don't want the lilly-white ghetto of Ladue but we also don't want a black ghetto here either said Richard Weir, a member of the residential sub-committee of the "Berkeley Betterment Committee. Most of the black families here saved their money to purchase homes in Berkeley just to escape that situation. Now real estate companies steer only black families here." Mrs.

Mirian Short told the council that a public hearing should be held on the permit proposal. "We welcome a public hearing," said Councilman Melvin Quaethem. He is opposed to occupancy permits as is Councilman Mrs. Iris Stuart. Mrs.

Stuart said that present Berkeley laws are enough, if enforced. Berkeley has had a minimum housing standards ordinance for years, said City Therapy Program At Missouri Baptist Missouri Baptist Hospital's department of pulmonary medicine is accepting applications for its two-year educational program in respiratory therapy.

The Park, on land originally belonging to Ferdinand King of Spain, will be dedicated May 2 as part of that weekend's annual Valley of Flowers festival. The girls will also march in that Sunday's festival parade wearing the pictured dresses, which they made as a Bicentennial project.

Voters in the Riverview Gardens School District will be asked May 25 to approve a 19 cent increase in the district's tax rate. The additional tax would bring the district's total rate to $5.10 for each $100 of assessed valuation. The new election will be the district's fifth in the 14 months. Four times since April 1975, district voters have turned down tax propositions. The proposed increases have ranged from 39 cents to 97 cents.

All of the measures have received support from fewer than a simple majority of those voting, and all have required a two-thirds majority for passage. Most recently, on April 6, a proposal for a 39 cent increase was turned down by a vote of 3769 to 2917. The board, meeting that night, decided on the May 25 election for the lesser Grant Park Dedication Dedicated May 2, 1976, in the 200th year of independence."

Florissant will dedicate the Spanish Land Grant Park which is bounded by rue St. Ferdinand, St. Louis, St. Denis and St. Charles in the heart of Old Town Florissant.

The dedication will mark the end of a long battle by the citizens of Florissant to regain the small block of ground originally owned by Ferdinand, King of Spain. One half of the lot was used for the construction of the first St. Ferdinand's Church, and its burial ground. The west half was dedicated as the Place d'Armes or parade "ground. It was here in 1793 that the Baron Carondelet commissioned Don Francisco Moreau as lieutenant and Don Francisco de Luxier as sublieutenant in the militia of San Fernando de Florizan.

As the years passed, the cemetery spread onto the parade ground. And it was here that the pioneer families of the Florissant Valley were brought at the end of their time and where many rest" today. In 1900 the Florissant City Council asked that the descendants of those buried there remove the bodies to the new St. Ferdinand Cemetery. The council didn't think it was proper to have-a graveyard in the town.

So, many of the bodies were moved to the new cemetery off Graham Road, but many had no descendants to assume that responsibility. With the passage of time, gravestones crumbled and records Wagon FROM PAGE IN Pennsylvania through contributions from business and industry. A total of 60 wagons were built at Jonesboro 50 for the states and 10 for entertainment. The wagon train project has been generously supported by the private sector. Gulf Oil Co.

donated $1,000,000 for general support. General Motors Corp. donated two mobile homes which 'have served as communications headquarters for two of the wagon trains. Aero-Mayflower Transit a nation-wide moving firm, has been the supporter of the pilgrimage. The vans have been used to transport the wagons to the various states, and for moving sound systems, lighting equipment, wagon parts and hav.

Encyclopedia Brittanica printed and distributed more than 500,000 scrolls to communities in every state while other firms have provided feed for the horses and mules, canvas for the wagon covers and portable sanitary facilities. Although the wagon train pilgrimage has received little publicity, thousands of persons, young and old have participated in the colorful eastward movement. The westernmost segments of the train began the slow trek from as far northwest as Olympia, Wash. That section followed the Oregon trail from July until its winter stopover in Wyoming. 1 The southwest route was taken by the group started from Sacramento and San Francisco and followed the Santa' Fe Trail.

Another crucial contribution to the amount. Roughly half of the original 39 cents was to have gone to reduce class sizes by retaining 27 teachers whose jobs would otherwise have been eliminated as a result of the district's declining enrollment. The defeat of the 39 cent proposal means that those 27 teaching jobs will now be eliminated, Superintendent Edwin J. Benton said. Proceeds from the proposed 19 cent increase would be used for increased utility costs, raises for non-teaching employes, and additional contributions the district must make to the teachers' retirement program next year, the superintendent explained.

"We're hopeful that the lesser amount will be more appealing to the people," Benton stated. Again, a two-thirds majority will be required for passage. 00 Poly-Drip Coffee Maker, Brews perfect coffee 4 to 9 cups in less a minute per cup. Add water, turn on.

Since no record of their relocation can be found, it must be assumed that among those still buried in this little cemetery are Francois Dunegant, first civil commandant of the Village; An-toine Riviere who drove the ox cart that brought Madame Chouteau to St.

Louis when she came to join her son; Mother Berthold, companion of Philippine Rose Duchesne, and countless more. In all probability Michael Castello is also there.

facilities. Myers asked that an appropriation of $150,000 be included in the city budget to be presented to the council next month. Myers said the money would be used to conduct a work program on such projects as park improvement. The" program would provide jobs also for some unemployed. The handicapped would be considered for jobs within their physical capabilities, Myers said.

Pay would be $3.50 an hour and the program would employ 134 people for-two months. The board heard the report of C. F. Wieseman on efforts to obtain the final easement needed before street improvement work can begin in the Seneca Lane and Goodale Avenue area. One property owner is delaying the work, Wieseman reported.

The resident wants $200 now to assure him that the driveway in the home that he owns will be restored. The property owner also suggested that the city place $2000 in escrow for that purpose or direct each of the block's 15 other residents to pay him a total of $1000 for the property. OUR GUARANTEE!

Residents living near Overland's Spencer Park have complained to Park Committee Chairman Raymond R. Jameson that it doesn't compare to other municipal parks.

Jameson told the Board of Aldermen recently that Overland's parks in general and the Spencer Avenue Park in, particular were substandard compared to those in neighboring cities such as St. Ann. The park was acquired by the city for about $92,000 two years ago. Jameson told the board that in a survey he took on the park, most residents complained of the large unprotected drain pipe in a ditch in the park. A 48-inch diameter pipe maintained by the St.

Louis Metropolitian Sewer District carries storm water drainage. Mayor Norman Myers told Jameson that because the pipe belongs to MSD, the City can't erect a protecting barricade. Jameson said residents also complained about teenage drinking parties and vandalism.
