There was a d;scussion of the sidewalk to the postoffice on Atlantic Blvd.
and the bids for construction of same were opened, and were as follows:
Bids were B:B. McCormiskA ISons $1520.
F.N. Slaughter 1290.
F.J. Scheffler 1498.
The Slaughter bid was determined to be the lowest, and Mr. Brotchie was
directed to contact him, relative to some changes in widths.
Upon motion of Mr. Bremer, seconded by Mr. Mason, it was decided to build
the sidewalk , the walk to be 6 feet wide from Sherry Drive thru the Motel
property and 10 feet wide from there to the west line of the Texas Co.
property, same to be on a 50% basis with property owners. Mr. Brotchie
is to contact Mr. Chalmers Horne and tills Mr. Padgett of the Motel to
see if agreeable with them for sidewalk to be 6 ft. instead of 5, and 10
feet wide in front of the one lot of Mr. Horne's. The laying of the walk
under this motion is contingent upon their approval of these widths.
A request for refund on their payment of the 1949 lot cleaning was received411
from Mrs. Ernest Falk, as she and her boys cleaned the lot themselves, but
her husband was out of the city when the bill was received and she- thought
she had to pay it regardless of who /leaned it. Since the Town did not
clean the lot, and the bill was sent in error, Mr. Kirby moved that the $11.25
payment received on Receipt #3681 be refunded, this was seconded by Mr.
Mason and carried.

to transfer $3750. from the Waterworks Fund to the General fund. This is
amount the General Fund loaned the Waterworks Fund to cover payment to Mr.
Adams.
Mr. Ganzel next presented his resignation as Councilman due to the fact that
they have moved to Palm Valley and are no longer residents of the Town. He
expressed his appreciation individually and collectively to the Council,
Town officials and employees for their co-operation and help, including Mr.
Rawls and the service he had rendered the Town while on the Council. He also
expressed his regrets at the hurt done the Town by a bloc on the ocean front
who had not paid their Seawall Emergency Assessments , causing this Council to
have to increase taxes to meet the indebtedness. This hurt to the Town he could
not forget, bu any personal hurts to him personally he had already forgotten.
The Mayor took the chair and upon motion of Mr. Kirby, seconded
by Mr. Bremer, the resignation of Mr. Ganzel was accepted with
regrets. The Mayor and Council expressed their appreciation and
pleasure of serving with Mr. Ganzel.
Upon motion of Mr. Kirby the meeting adjourned from day to day.
