C O M P L A I N T
IN RE: SPECIAL ASSESSMENTS FOR
SEAWALL BONDS.
TO THE HONORABLE CITY COUNCIL OF THE TOWN OF ATLANTIC BEACH:
SIRS:
We, the undersigned, being residents of and owners
of abutting property with reference to the proposed seawall, beg
to file the following complaint:
The amended contract with the United States Govern-
ment, provides for the bonds to be paid in nineteen annual
installments, beginning October 1, 1935. The preliminary assess-
ment roll provides for twenty annual installments to be assessed
against abutting property. The number of annual installments
of the assessments should be made to correspond with the number
of annual bond payments.
We, therefore respectfully suggest and petition that
your Honorable Body modify, change or alter the preliminary
assessment roll so that as finally adopted, approved and confirmed,
it will provide for nineteen annual installments instead of twenty
annual installments.
Land owned: - Lots 1 and 2, Blk. (Signed) Harcourt Bull

August 31, 1933; and ,
WHEREAS, c complaint has been filed by Messrs Bull,

provides for the bonds to be payable over a period of nineteen

by the FERA on this project.
He pointed out that great relief could be obtained by
having this work done in certain sections of Atlantic Beach.
vie stated that nothing is provided except labor, no trans-
portation, and that no local men could be taken on as he was
compelled to use those already signed up under the FERA.
He said that if the town would furnish transportation,
400 which would mean a truck for four hours a day, at 90cents an
hour($3.50 per day) and a driver at 35 cents an hour being $1.40
per day, total $5.00 per day, he could have a crew start the
following morning, (being June 19th) and that he felt sure
that in a few days, he could furnish a driver from the FERA
workers.
Whereupon, a motion was made by Mr. Bradfield, seconded
by Mr. Palmer, put and carried, that the Town furnish'transporta-
tion until further notice and a driver for a few days.
