The meeting was called to order by the President, Mr° Minchew0
Minutes of the regular meeting of October 22, 1956 were approved
as written upon motion of Mr° Howell, seconded by Mr. Wardrep.
Mr. Waggoner advised that C.P. Kirkland T/A Buccaneer Club has
applied for a liquor license for use at the Grieg Corner House
location on Mayport Road. He has checked on the references given
by Mr. Kirkland, and found they reported Mr. Kirkland to be OK.
The State Beverage Department advises that he has been OK'd by
the F.B.I. The Mayor and A4r° Waggoner advise that the investiga-
tion indicates that Mr. Kirkland 's application is in line for
approval and action by the Council° It was brought out that this
license comes under the special provision for restaurants with
specific seating capacity. Upon motion of Mr. Carr, seconded by
Mr. Wardrep approval was given for a liquor license to be issued
to C.P. Kirkland T/14_ Buccaneer ClAb subject to approval of such
license by the State Beverage Director°
Mr, Walter Parks, Engineer on Prelminary Sewerage Plans discussed
at length with the Council the work they have done so far on the
plans, giving details of the conditions found on their ground
survey of the old sewer lines. (1) They could not find some of
the pipe as shown on tnc old plans. (2) From personal knowledge
and investigation they have found that some of the manhole covers
have been removed for pavement and the manholes cannot be located
without using some type of "finder" and then ionly if there was some
metal involved. (3) The sewer pipe itself is clay and seemingly in
good condition- but the trouble is in the joints which are very
poor and sand has sifted through and plugged up the pipe. Impossible
to tell what the costiould be to clean out the pipe and make usable°
(4) Grades from macthole to manhole not uniform or consistent.
He, therefore thinks should forget the old sewer system as cost to
check and fix for use would not be worth it. Might be possible
to use some of old manholes, but doubts feasibility due to other
utilities and Health Department requirements. Their plans cover
for the most part the sections of the Town now serviced by the
Water system° He advised of 3 possible locations of the plant site
and advised that he was not prepared to give his opinion on the best
site at present but it would be in his complete report which he
plans to have ready for the Council meeting of November 26th, 1956.
There was no report on zoning study by Mr. Simons nor on clearance
of vacant lots° It wasieported that the City of Jacksonville is
making a survey of the electrical system in the Town°
Mr. Waggoner presented a list of those doing business in the Town
who have not secured their 1956-57 licenses which were due July 1, 1956
It was the consensus of opinion that the Town Manager write a letter
giving them until the 1st of December, 1956 to pay the license, then
if not paid to follow the penalties as set up in the License Ordinance°
The Town Manager reported that he had attended a meeting with the
City Manager of Jacksonville Beach, U.S. Engineers, Civil Defense
personnel, etc. for a discussion oseawall damage and beach con-
ditions.
It was decided that there would only be one regular meeting of the
Town Council in December and that will be on December 10, 1956

sideration having the Mayor as an ex-officio member of all Council
committees.
Mr. Howell advised that the Fire Department with its own labor and
funds would like to put 4 second story over the Engine boom at the
Fire Station. It was suggested that he get plans and more definite
information on what will be done.

the Recreational work for the Town and would like for the Council
to give this suggestion some consideration0
