ROBERT NELSON, Carlsbad Hardware, stated that he represented the Merchants' Committee of Carlsbad,. and that they were in full ac- cord tha.t we have a hqzardous parking problem, but that the mer- chants felt that it would be detrimental to business to have parallel parking; that they felt that large trucks should not be allowed to load or unload on State Street.

R3Y PHILLIPS, Carlsbad Auto Supply, stated that he was not in favor of making State Street a street to drive through, but that it be malde available for people to park and shop, thereby keep- 'ing business here in Carlsbad.

The City Manager stated that a let- ter had been received from the San Diego Lumbermen's Association with an amendment dclosed that had been adopted by the City of 94- dd San Diego that required the grading of all lumber, and urged that the Gity of Carlsbad adopt this amendment. Several copies were enclosed and sent to ths lumber companies and contractors in this area, Mr . Robert Sutton, owner of the Airline Lumber Company in San Diego, gave a bric.?f ,summary of the purpose for grading lum- ber. He stated that it was impossibltt for the building inspect- ors to grade this lumber and that all lurnbhr should be grade stamped. He felt that if we here in Carlsbad did not adopt this policy, we wouId receive lumber t.hat was inferior, and urged the Council to pass an ordinance to require that all lumber be grad- ed. Mr, Sutton was asked if this would add to the price of lum- ber, and he stated that if it were uniform throughout, it would not. He also stated that in drawing up this amendment, the deal- ers should be given 90 days to six months to unload their present . stock. After considerable discussion Crnn.
