should be given the Town to make this nayment , inasmuch •as

Mr. Jacobs called attention to the condition of Salt-
air Boulevard caused by the washing away of shoulders.
Saltair Boulevard being a County Road , ' it - was decided that
Council Members would et some opportune time advise the
County Bngineer of the condition of this Road, ; n case he
does not know about it.
The question of the water rnorks end fire fighting
equipment came in for considerable discussion. The Council
indicated that there were favorable to some joint arrangement
between Atlantic and 'leptune Beach whereby a new- engine - •
would be purchased for use in both Towns , if such a plan can
be worked out. In reference to the water situation, es usual
- this matter was discussed end at the -resent time nothing
could be found that would justify any action on the part of
the Town, except that the Mayor submitted a communication
from the State - Board of Health call ing upon the Town for a
survey of the water system. The letter from the State Board
of Health was turned over to the City Supervisor and by
unanimous consent the City Supervisor was instructed to lay
before the State Board of Health all the facts with reference
to this water system and to make citation to the deficiency in
the system end to call upon the State Board of Health, if 1.th-
in their power, to make a survey of the water situation and
particularly demand of -7. H. Adams the installation of a
chlorination Plant in connection with this water !forks.
There being no further business for consideration, the
