In oompliance with the request therein~ it was moved byJlr~r:!

required pictures of the inside and outside of the present ,.,:~~
building taken and that the bill for same be paid by the CitY1'"7'''':f;!

The matter of improving looal mail deli very then came up '~Ili~
discussion and Oouncilman Miller reported that a cheiee of twd.i~:
types of service wpuldljlrl:>:bably be ,Offered to Delray shortl;v",>.',,'.~,~.,'
vi~, door-to",door service by a mail man on foot over the 11mi teQ'

entire community wi th rural route servi ce.
The members disapproved of mail boxes scattered throughout
the City and, for various reasons, deemed the latter plan
undesirable, but were highly in favor of the foot delivery
service even though it would serve only a fraction of the
residents Q~ the present time, and it was moved by Mr. Hall
that the City Clerk be instructed to write the .rostlllm.ster
expressing the Council's approval of the carrier service amd
the members' preference of same over the rural delivery. Mr.
Crego. seconded the m~tion, which on roll call carried unanimously.
H. A. Hubbard reported a deep hole in the pavement, adjacent
to the Kentucky House, at the corner of Seventh Avenue and
Atlantic, which the Chairman o.f the Street Committee stated
was to be repaired immediately.
The Oity Attorney called the Council's attention to a
certain truck which was making a practice of hauling heavy
loads of logs over the residential streets of the Oity, and
said if it was allowed to continue the streets would be town
to pieces, as a result. CQunc1lman Hall recommended that the
City Attorney draw an ordinance, conforming to State Highway
regulations, prohibiting such practice.
An application from Mrs. CalVin M. Osborne fo.r permit, to
construct garages and guest cottage on Lots 5 & 6 Vista Del Mar
Subdi vision, was submitted by the Building Inspector who stated
the required set back from ~aing Street was 35 feet and a
concession for 25 feet was asked. He reco.mmended that this con-
cession be given o.n all lots located between Vista Grande
Blvd. and Laing Street and in acco.rd with said recommendati~n
it was moved by Mr. Miller that permit be granted with the 2S-foot
setback, and that this same concession be allo.wed fo.r all sDIDilar
properties on said street. Mr. Bradshaw seconded the motion,
which carried unanimously.
It was regularly moved, seconded and carried that
Counci 1 adjourn.
