the motion, which on roll oall, carried unanimously.
Mr. Troup appeared before the Counoil aSking that
the motion made at lallt meeting in r-egard to cutting down
his hibiscus bushes be resoinded. He sta ted the acoident
attributed to this shrubbery was due to reckless driving
1'8. ther than to the obstruoted view. Mr. Abraham George, who
was also present, denied this, and objected to the street
being used for shrubbery, contending that it should be
removed. It was gem rally agreed that the bushes referred
to did obstruct the view to some extent but by .careful driv-
ing, accidents o.ould be avoided. It was finally moved by
Mr. Barton that aotion in regard to the outting down of said
shrubbery be deferred and that the matter be referred to

moved by Mr. Hill, seconded by Mr. Genton and on roll call
unanimously carried that it be passed on its second reading
and final passage, and the ordinance was thereby declared

Mr. A.T. Smock requested that the City provide some
regulation for tl1e keeping of chickens inside the City limits,
explaining that his residence property had been depreciated
in value and its rental possibilities damaged by reason of
the adjoining property being turned into a wholesale chicken
raising establishment. The Council agreed to look into the
City ordinances and see if some restrictions couldn't be
enforoed to regula te such busi ne sses.
Mr. C.A. Baker asked the Counoil's instruction in
regard co removing trash and shrubbery acoumulation at various
plaoes in 'town, stating that h~ would require extra men and
another truck if he was expeoted to take care of this. A
long discussion ensued in regard to this situation, and upon
the suggestion of Mr. Byrd, it was regularly moved, seconded
and carried that a nmtioe be inserted in the Delray Beach
News, defining what constitutes garbage, collectible by
the City Sanitary Depariment, and notifying the oitizens
that it is impossible, with the City's limited facilities
and labor to take care of large acoumulations of trash and
shrubbery. It was further moved by Mr. Gwynn that the
existing cases of shrubbery piled along City Streets be
referred to the Street and San i tary Committee's discre tion
and that said oommi ttees work out a solution for its removal',
The Mayor reported that Mrs. Eliot wished to enter
into some sort of a contract wi th the City for garbage coll-
eotion service at her residence. It was thought the City's
facili ties were inadequate to render the requested servioe
and no aotion was ta ken in the me tter.
