good shape; and said the Council, citizens and negroes
were taking an extreme interest in the project now. He
said it would cost about $50.00 to service the tennis
co~rts, and that the rock had been furnished by the Govern_
ment and the County through the efforts of Mr. Byrd;
that same needed to be water bound and the City would
oil it. The only person equipped to finish the courts;
was Grover Baker who had ae;reed to do the two courts.,_

$150.00 for said purposes. Mr. Hall seconded the motion

A discussion then ensued as to the desirab_
Ility of apPointing a committee of citizens to ser~e as
an Adjustment Board for settling of delinquent taxes.
Mr. Hall was OPposed to delegating such authority to
any group outside the CIty Council but Mr. Bradshaw
said any time a group of franchised citizens appeared
to the Councilor, by public meeting, asked and voted
that the Council go ahead and appoint a committee out-
side of the Oouncil for such purposes, he was in
of complying with such request. He said this
was willing to work without fees; and that he was
in favor of the COuncIl receiving a fee for such
servIce but would like to see, every dollar paId in
to a fund for the retirement of the escrowed
provided for in the refunding agreement.
