F. Foster, whose business is on Commercial Street. Ray Mitchell, Landers Building, and George Banaum, who business is located on St. Louis Street. Several other representative retailers had been invited, but failed to attend.

Meeting with them were City Manager Bart Avery, City Attorney John Newberry. Clerk Don Kelley, and Police Chief Warren Norman. Newstand operators stressed that all of the. magazines under discussion are accepted by the postal department for mailing and are available by subscription, Newberry said following the ses sion. They felt, therefore, that they are not obscene within the meaning of the law and the city's ordinance.

Magazine sales constitute a ma jor part of their livelihood, they said, nd they felt they should have available those publications requested by their customers. One suggested that the magazines of doubtful content might be 'with held from display, but made avail able on request to those who want them. The average buyer of the pub lications mentioned, they said, is a mature person. 35 years of age pr older. They insisted that teen agers do not ask for such material and emphasized that they do not permit younsters to stand at coun ters and peruse publications of any sort.

On the other hand, businesses handling magazines as a sideline only cannot exercise strict supervision over casual perusal around news counters. But it was indicated that these proprietors, less dependent upon mngazines and in many instances handling them only as a conveniere to customers, already are exercising censorship. No agreement was reached, Newberry said, and the next step will be a report by administration to a City Council committee comprised of Don Roper, Carl Stillwcll and Stanley Roush.

Burger for his unpaid fee tor negotiations dealing with the city's purchase of the Spring, field City Water Company.
