Lots 1 and 2 and W53 a of Lots 7 and 8, Block 43, and to comc.
promise the interest on the delinquent taxes by paying on 07
before March 31., 1959 the sum of 0225.00 for interest on
general taxes and the sum of $15000 for interest on seawall
taxes. The matter was discussed and it was agreed that i.
would be to the City's advantage to settle at the figures es
offered rather than sue on same. The taxes on this proper,y
are due from 1932 through 19580 Upon motion of Mr. Johanser.
seconded by Mr. Roberts and carried, approval was given to
the acceptance of Mr. Martin's offer as stated above paying
the taxes and compromise interest on or before March 31st,
1959, if found to be to the City's advantage to so do.
Mr. Waggoner reported that the bids as received from Grage
Texaco Service and Smith's Sinclair Service had been studied
and that the two bids offset each other and he could not make
a recommendation of one being better than the other. The matAer
was discussed and it was determined that Grage Texaco Service
had apparently given satisfactory service during the past year
and the Sinclair Service has only been operating under Mr. Smit;
for about 60 days, therefore Dr. Whitehurst moved that the bid
of Grage Texaco Service be accepted for 1959, seconded by Mr .
Moore and carried.
