PARADE - Application by C.A.S.A. and the Coalition for Fair Immigration Laws and Practices to use and assemble in Birch Park and to begin marching at 4th and Grand, move down 4th Street going west past Broadway, south on Parton Street, east on Second Street to Ross Street, and assemble in Birch Park. Birch Park will be used from approximately 1:00 P.M. until 4:00 P.M., August 24, 1974. The motion included instructions to Staff to devise an alternate route with the applicants that would bypass the downtown por- tion of Fourth Street to minimize the loss of Saturday business to merchants. Failing that, Council suggested consideration be given to a Sunday parade. Prior to Council's action, the following persons spoke: Mr. Alex Garza, 1305 North Broadway, Secretary of C.A.S.A. (Centrale Accion Sociale Automo) stated the parade could not take an alternate route because of information to participants that has been already disseminated. He stated it might even enhance business to have a large group of people downtown; he stated the parade and assembly in Birch Park are protests to personal and house searching by immigration officials of individuals who might be suspected of false immigration. Mr. Abe De Moya, 1403 Minnie Street #9, also spoke in favor of the parade route down Fourth Street. He suggested that Police cars form barricades to facilitate and expedite the parade. Mr. Billy C. Hall, Executive Director of the City Center Asso- ciation, spoke against a weekday or Saturday parade, but he had no objection to a Sunday parade.
