Mr. Printon advised that he did not think we should act as collection agency for insur- ance companies and Mr. Lawrence advised that he is opposed to granting a franchise to solicit City Employees. The Marine Exhibitors, Inc. application for a sign at their surf board shop was presented but action was delayed until can deter- mine exactly what their business constitutes, as you cannot have manufacturing in this zone.

Mr. Lawrence advised that he will get to-gether with the surfers. The C.A. MacDowells have requested permission to connect up to our sewer system. They are located just north of Church Rd. on Mayport Rd. and have the property adjoining the City Limits on the north.
