Midget Association. Councilman Johnson read in full her own Midget As
statement addressed to Mayor Ortuno, dated September 18,
1961, as follows:
"Mr. Mayor, I have a statement I wish to read for the
.record.
I intend to sit in this hearing, hear the evidence, and
vote according to what I believe to be the best interest
of the City of Azusa as a whole.
The fact that I have signed one of the many protests
against this race track does not relieve me of my re-
sponsibility; and we also know that on almost every major
issue all members of the City Council have taken positions
for or against that issue and proceeded to vote on the
final determination.
In order to avoid argument and to develop the facts, I
move that all testimony and statements be presented
under oath."
This motion was seconded by Councilman McLees but failed to
carry by the following vote:

whose parents have Azusa addresses, and the result was approx- i M
im t�l 17 children. Mr. S�ommerstated that $10,000 worth ofs-«:,
'°`i has gone into the hack, &fiid it is impossible for
the City of Azusa alone to support it.

Council and read his statement in opposition, a copy of

furnished to them, and each member answered in the affirma-
tive. A paragraph from the National Safety Magazine was read
by Mr. Johnson. He complained that the City was not repre-
sented at the Planning Board hearing and questioned the vote
of Commissioner Sal Leuvanos who was not a Commissioner at the
time of the hearing. He also said that it remained to be de-
termined if the Association was legally qualified to enter
into a contract or lease agreement, and questioned whether
the Association has sufficient insurance.

Mr. Victor Jabson, of 222 So. Virginia, appeared before Council
in opposition to the granting of the Conditional Use Permit,

this racing which would be far away from residential areas.

a nuisance.

Church, appeared before Council. He defined the word "nuisance"

tive to senses, or objectionable. On behalf of himself and his
church, he protests this racing, primarily because of the noise.
