recommended that it be delayed because he believed the gasoline short-
age is being overcome gradually.
Director of Building and Safety Mitchell gave a brief history of the
nance problems with gasoline price signs and stated that a survey of the
1532 city indicated a 12� spread in the price of gasoline from one side of
ce the city to the other . Mr. Mitchell added that he believed the ordi-
,on
tising nance would bring about more orderly service to the customer by making
the price of gasoline and the hours of service known.
Mr . Sam Wirz , whose station is at Eureka and West Colton, stated that
he sells gasoline at the slightly lower price than some competitors
because he has had the same customers for many years and expects to
continue having them. He added that his supply would be rapidly
exhausted if he used price signs .
Mr. Bob Salerno, whose station is a. freeway-oriented one, listed the
problems that he has had serving gas , especially the congestion and
traffic problems . He stated that he did not believe the sign ordi-
nance corrections would be of any help in his present problem. The
public hearing was then declared closed for a motion by Councilman
DeMirjyn. On motion of Councilman DeMirjyn, seconded by Councilman
Knudsen, Ordinance No. 1532 was tabled for sixty days, by AYE votes of
