The Council met in special session, pursuant
to call of the Mayor at 7:00 P.M. for the purpose of
taking action necessary at this time on the debt
refunding proposal as finally submitted by the Bond-
holders Committee.
Attorney Byrd furnished a copy of said re-
funding agreement to each member of the Council for
his inspection and perusal and it being agreed that
all details and provisions of same complied with the
City's last recommendations, and was in form acceptable
to the Council, it was moved by Mr. Hall that the
following resolution be adopted:
RESOLUTION 2l9A
,
BOOK 4
,
RESOLUTION CALLING AN ELECTION FOR
RATIFICATION OR REJECTION BY THE
Q.UALIFIED, REGISTERED FREEHOLD ELECTORS
OF THE BOND REFUNDING AGREEMENT
DATED MAY 25,,1938.
Mr. Wodischek seconded Mr. Hall's motion for adoption
and on roll call the vote was as follows: Mr. Gwynn
yes, Mr. Hall yes, Mr. Hill yes, Mr. Miller yes.
Mr. Wodischek yes. The motion carried.
In discussing the agreement and election on
same, it was contended by Mr. Miller that the Council
should, by some means, inform the Public more thoroughly
in regard to same--its contents and requirements,
especially as to the City's present prospects for
meeting the interest and sinking fund obligations
imposed thereby. He requested that the Auditor compile
data and figures pertaining to past and current tax
collections, interest payments &c. It was also rec-
ommended by Mr. Byrd that the Council invite citizens
to an open fprum meeting for a frank discussion of said
agreement so that electors may be definitely informed
on the nub~ect before going to'the polls on June 28th.

COUNCIL CF~BER - May 31, 1938
The Building Inspector
from Chas. F. Deshler, asking
of an enclosed sketch of:
submitted a comTIunication
the Council's approval
The S70.5' of Ocean Beach Lot 3 and
The E125' of theW250' of "4
"
It wa s sta ted the only ob,1ection to the plat was the
two short dead-end streets of 25 and ~o foot width
shown thereon. The required width for City streets was
fifty feet, Mr. Cook explained, but because of the un-
usual dimensions of Mr. Deshler's property and the fact
that said streets were not thoroughfares, and would be
used largely to serve the private residents only, it
was agreed to approve same, as submitted. It was
thereupon moved by Councilman Wodischek that Mr. Deshler
be notified that the Council will accept a plat of
said property, laid out in accord with the submitted
sketch, provided the twenty-five and thirty foot streets
shown thereon be dedicated to the City, also the West
17 feet of the North 70.5 feet of Lot 3 abutting on
Andrews Street. Mr. Gwynn seconded the motion which
carried unanimously.

Mr. Hall reported Dr. Williams was desirous
of dedicating and paving an eighteen foot street alomg
the East line of his property, viz. the st of Block 140,
providing adjOining property owners would also deed
eighteen feet off the East line of the Nt of Block 140
and off the West line of Block 148. The possibility
of procuring such right-of-way was discussed, but
members considered abutting property owners would be
unwilling to deed same and it was therefore considered
procurement of same to be a matter for negotiation between
Dr. Williams, Lothair Hofman and C.Y. Byrd, the property
owners involved. The Clerk was instructed to so inform
Dr. Williams.
,
, Mr. Miller asked if anything had been done in
regard to sawdust and oil mosquito control treatment
and was informed Mr. Baker had started on the work and
would be prepared to work with Legionaires and Kiwanians
on the following Thursday afternoon if they would meet
with him at that time.
Mr. Wodischek recommended the purchase of road,
oil in large quantities, thereby saving approximately
ten percent in cost, he said, and moved that the City
purchase 50 barrels, same to be paid for out of the
Street Oiling Account. Mr. Gwynn seconded the motion
which carried unanimously.
Mr. Gwynn b~ought to the Council's attention
the need of windows for the upper porches of the Beach

Casino, stating that if something was not done immediately
timbers of the building would rot and have to be re-
placed. He recommended that a carpenter be employed
to build and put in the windows required, thus prevent-
ing rain from blowing into said porches and seeping
into the walls of the building. Mr. Wodischek suggested
that something also be done to the roof, It was finally'
moved that the Clerk call for bids on the necessary
work, said, bids to be opened at 8:00 o'clock at the
next regular meeting of the Council. Mr. Miller seconded
the motion, which carried unanimously. Mr. Cromer was
instructed to prepare specifications necessary for
such calling of bids.
The Clerk was instructed to withhold further
interest payments to bond creditors until after the
Bond Refund Election. There being no further business
to come before the members, Council regularly adjourned.
