'f--": ., 4 , J A oommunioation from Riohard A. Little was read, enquiring whether the counoil oontemplated making any ohanges in the lioense ordinanoe whereby looal bustnesses would be better proteoted from itinerant merohants having no established plaoes of business and who operated only during the tourist season. The need of some type of ordinanoe requiring itinerants to pay a fair propor- tion of tax for suoh seasonal business was admitted by the members. The City Attorney suggested that bond be required of suoh merohants, to insure payment by them of personal~operty tax for the year in whioh suoh businesses are operated by them. .;;- \ A request from C.A.B. Zook that Lots 7 to 28, Sea breeze Park, be ohanged to Class A zone instead of Class B was read, and upon suggestion of Mr. Hill was ordered filed with other suoh requests and inoluded '" in a general amendment. to be made to the zoning ordinanoe:..) A letter from Geo. Striokland was read, in whioh he asked that Bellview court sidewalks be oleared of growth . and made passable for sohool ohildren who, he olaimed, were obliged to use the road beoause of the overgrown oondition of said walks. The matter was referred to the Street committee with authority to have sidewalks oleaned and street signs ereoted at Bellview Way and at the Germntown Road. A letter from Sheriff Lawrenoe replying to a d~m- plaint by the City Clerk in regard to a motoroade whioh had violated Delray's traffio ordinanoes, was read, and ordered filed. Mr. Gwynn stated he was oonvinoed the seotion of the parade about whioh oomplaint had been made was not part of the motoroade offioially headed by offioers from the Sheriff's department. The following petition was submitted and read: ) 934: ~.

Mr. Wodischek seoonded the motion, which carried unanimously. , :i 1 Postmaster Diggans addressed the counoil, at length, regarding the status of Delray's applioation for a new Post Offioe building, .stating same was on the preferred list onoe again and stressing the need, now that a new government set-up for Federal projeots is about to be launohed, of oonoerted effort on the part of all organiz- ations and partioularly of the City counoil; and the need of oontinually keeping this projeot before the eyes of Federal authorities. ~ Chairman Hill said he believed the whole counoil appreoiated the efforts of the Post Office personnel, and believed it had given the very best possible ser- vioe with its limited faoilities and lack of room. In accord with suggestion of Mr. Diggans, it was moved by Councilman Gwynn that the following resolution be adopted; a copy of same to be sent to eaoh of the senators and the congressman to be nominated tomorrow for the Fourth CongreBsional District, also to Post- master General Farley.

A letter to Mr. Byrd from the Bondholders Committee, aSking that the City employ someone to prepare a state- ment showing, in detail, the amount of all outstanding bond prinoipal and interest, inoluding aocruals, up to May lst, 1938, was read by the Clerk.

Mr. Miller seconded the motion, whioh oarried unanimously on roll oall. The Chairman of the Water Department requested more time to investigate the advisability of doubling the amount of water allowed, to consumers, as a mimimum during the summer months. Samuel Ogren talked to the Counoil about submitting an applioation for a Civio Building and Library Projeot, under the new Lending-Spending program contemplated by the government. He olaimed much time and work would be involved in preparation of drawings and forms required in applying for suoh a projeot and he oould not afford to do this for less than $250.00, whioh fee was only half the amount usually charged for suoh work. It was finally moved by Mr. Hall that Mr. Ogren be authorized to prepare drawings and speoifioations required in applying for the projeot, as outlined, and that he be oompensated in the s~m of $250.00 therefor, it being understood that said $250.00 be for servioes up to time of acoeptanoe or rejeotion of applioation by the Federal Government. There was no seoond to Mr. Hall's motion, so he suggested that the matter stand in abeyanoe until suoh time as the requirements for suoh federal loans are made known, and espeoially the terms in regard to repayment of suoh loans by debtor municipalities.

Counoilman Miller reported the county Welfare de- partment would supply a Red CrosS instruotor to give free life saving instructions to anyone desiring to avail themselves of suoh if the City would guarantee room and board to suoh instruotor during the two weeks stay. Mr. Miller oonsidered suoh instruotion desirable for Delray children and moved that the City pay room and board for this instructor for two weeks, while giving these free lessons. Mr. Gwynn seconded the motion, which carried unanimously. Mr. Miller was appointed, as a committee of one, to see that suitable accommodation at a reasonable cost is seoured. Mr. Miller brought up the matter of City lioense for practising doctors in Delray, stating he had not been satisfied with the counoil's decision at last meeting.
