Hombel, President of the Chula Vista Repub- lican Club, registering his protest because the Mayor presented the key to the City to Mr. William C. Moeser, San Diego County's '~r. Democrat", for his con- tributions to the community. In Mr. Hombel's opinion, this was a partisan gesture and out of line. Mayor McCorquodale stated that he feels the award was appropriate and de- served and was given in recognition of all Mr. Moeser has done for the community and not because of his party affiliation. PARKWAY DRAINAGE DITCH Mr. John Murphy, 569 Parkway, read a prepared statement pertaining to the drainage ditch across Parkway between Fifth Avenue and Broadway.

Dr. Palmer suggested that the Council review the letter from Mr. Wagstaff addressed to the Council two weeks ago and give serious thought to the questions therein. He further stated the conclusion of a study would be that it would be to the best interests of the public that a merger between Bay General Hospital and Chula Vista Community Hospital never take place. ~MOTORCYCLE NOISE ~pOn the request of Councilman Sparling, City Attorney Lindberg and Admin- istrative Officer Ross were directed to bring back to the Council an anti-noise ordinance that will regulate motorcycle noise, the State having done nothing about it.
