'J .L Notice trom the War DepartDllnt that a,pplica tion had been made by Smith 8< Kitchen to dredge the Canal South of Delmy, was lead, and ordered tiled. I A collllllllDication was le ad from J .F. Rile:r of BesseDllr Properties, Inc., stating h1.s company 1'&8 conal_ring submitting a compromise proposal, for the City's approval. on the f1.ll'nishl.ng of water to the Town of Gultstream. It was therefole decided to postpoie. the Council's meetiIlg for condideration at thl.s matter until after the above proposal is received from the Bessemer people. It was reco-.Ilded by Ilr. Hill that the Council worle aI t a plan wbereby citizens would be penaL tt.ed a DDre liberal use of water for lawns and shrubbery dlJl'iIlg the SWIIIIIlr months, aM a reduction in the rates during the dry SU8l8r season, was suggested. JIr. Hill stated that Lake Worth provided a lIWIIIler rate for \uch plU'pose and reco-.nded that the City Clerk write and f.l.nd out on what baaiBcharges 1I8re made for such water consumption during the ~. '!he lla70r enquired about the proposed ordinance regulating siD of meters to be installed by consumers and was informed that air present ordinance conflicted with the proposed regulation. The City Attcrney therefore agreed to draw an amendmErl. t to the water ordinance that _ld perm!. t enforcelll8l t of this regulations. Ilr. Jacobs le ported haviIlg had a request trom the Colored Metho- dist Church askiq: if the citywauld tumish rock from its pit for tlB rocking of a driveway into thejr church, provided they themeslves did the hauling. SClIII8 of the members thcught it a bad precedent to ast and after discussion it was recom- mended that the Clerk wr.I.te infbnaLng these people that the City had IX> rock available at the present tiDII. ~ , The City Engineer calJad the Council's attention to the existing ordinance which prohibited the use in any p.lblic street or alle;y-wa,y of rock which 1'740 r ~ 16, 1941 does not COUll up to Stete Rosd Department specifications No.2, and since the rock from the CiW- pit did not meet nch specifict10n he recolllllllnded that the ordinance be &DIInded to pezmi t its use by the Cit;y in its plblic projects. Mr. Scott reported haviIlg had a complaint that the alley in Block 99 was being used for the disposal of junk and rubbish and asked if there was no way of stopping a man from using a public alley for such purpose. Discussion then ensued as to whether the City had an alley through blocks 98 and 99, since plats on these blocks conflicted and on one seemed to knOllf the true status of the property lines. It was recomnended that the City Attorney prepare a written opinion for the Council in regaTd to tbe existence of an alley through these two blocks, so that the City might have it on record. In answer to an enquiry from the Kqor it was decided to permit thl sale of fireWl:)rks in town and to allow them to be discharged only on private p,f'mises, in tbe pl.qground, park, beach or other open lSibace, under the supsrvicion of tlB Fire and Police Chief's. It was further recollllll6nded that this perml.ssion be granted for the 4th of July only and that on no account were they to be shot 01'1: on the public streets or in the rosiness section cf~ the City. The Clerk was authorized to loan the Cityts abstract on Lot 6 Block 101 to E.C. Hall and accept rece:lpt therefor. COtUlcilman Miller said at the tiDII he accepted the Kayorship he had asked that a resolution be passed giving him additional p01lllrs, and since he had relrlgned the office he thought it only right to request that sa1d reSo- lution be rescinded. He therefore moved that this be c:bne, and tlB motion was seconded by Mr. Sabath and unanimcusly can'ied. 1Ir. SCott stated he was willing to carry on, under tbe provisions of said le solution providing the lII&lIIilers wished to grant him such power. 1Ir. Jacobs said he was not in favor of the resolution as he did not believe any man shalld be granted that much power. After discussion it was DDved by JIr. Sabath that the pOll8rs set forth in Resolution No. 385 be delegated to Ilqcr Scott, during his tenure of office. 1Ir. Killer seconded the moticn am on roll call the vote was as follows: Ilr.
