Mrs. A.J. McGlannon appeared on behalf of the Federated
Garden Circles of the Beaches with a request that some
steps be taken to-wards mosquito control, and also that
the Council pass a Resolution in favor of House Bill #739
which has been introduced by Representatives Carlton and

funds for mosquito control. There was a discussion on
this , and upon motion of Mr. Rawls , seconded by Mr. Kirby
the following Resolution was passed:
WHEREAS , there is pending before the Legislature of the
State of Florida, House Bill 739, which provides that the
State of Florida shall match City, Town, or local public
funds to bear expense of combatting mosquitos, and
WHEREAS , it is highly desirable to use every method possi-
ble to combat this menace , and
WHEREAS , the smaller Towns and Cities , because of lack of
revenue , are not able without assistance from some other
source to do a good and sufficient job in this connection,
NOW, THEREFORE , BE IT RESOLVED BY THE MAYOR AND TOWN COUNCIL
OF THE TOWN OF ATLANTIC BEACH, DUVAL COUNTY, FLORITIA,
THAT , the Duval Delegation to the State Legislature be, and
they are hereby urged to strongly support the passage of the
said House Bill 739.
Frank Miller explained the processes of mosquito control,
and brought out the fact that it is not an elimination,
but is an effective control of mosquitos. He advised that
he had made a price of $150. per application (fogging) to
the previous council and would make the same quotation at
this time . Mr. Bremer advised that he had talked to the
State Engineers and they will furnish engineering for mos-
quito control and are willing to get to-gether with the
Bogging man ( if that is the method needed) and work out
with him a program. There was discussion on this subject
and upon motion of Mr. Bremer, seconded by Mr. Mason, we are
to request Mr. J.A. Muirennan, B.S .A. , State Board of Health
to come down and make a survey, and if they recommend fogging
that we enter into an, agreement with Mr. Frank Miller to do
the fogging from Atlantic Boulevard to 16th St , and from the
111the
front to the last street in the town that he can gravel
on with his jeep, making two applications between now and
the next regular meeting at $150. per application.
.r' .
Mr. Rawls reported on the sidewalk needed on Atlantic
Boulevard between East Coast Drive and Sherry Dr. and
advised that it would have to be built on the state
right-of-way and that he only saw three possible ways ,
one of which could be decided upon: (1) to canvass the
property owners and get voluntary agreement to pay their
part of the assessment; (2 ) to get the Representatives
to pass legislation to take into the Town limits , and
(3 ) for the Wown to spend money on state property. There
was a discussion, and upon motion of Mr. Rawls , seconded
by Mr. Bremer the Town Supervisor was instructed to con-
tatc the property owners , giving to each an approximate
cost for their part of sidewalk construction, and if their
consent is secured to go ahead and build; otherwise not
to do.
A report presented by Mr. Bremer and Mr. Kirby recommended
that 6 pairs of steps were needed on street ends , and that
they be installed. It was brought out in the discussion
that one pair of steps had been donated by Mr. Bob Towers
and had already been installed at 11th St. , and that only
5 pairs were needed now. Upon motion of Mr. Rawls, seconded
by Mr. Kirby the Town Supervisor was authorized to build
the 5 pairs of steps needed.

re Marshal's hours and extra officer.
