Mr. William LaPorte, Mrs. George Oliver, Mrs. M. M. Grand
and Mr. Leroy B. Davenport also attended.
The minutes of the Town Meeting held on March 8, 1958 were
read, approved and adopted.
J. R. Fountain reported bank balances as follows:
General Account - $14,200.20
Water Account - 7,983.04
Reserve Account - 869.37
Payments for the month of March, 1958 on the General Account
were on checks numbered 420 through 447 and totaled $2,220.67.
Payments from the Water Account were on checks numbered 143
through 145 and totaled $685.52. All of the above payments were
unanimously approved.
Mr. William S. LaPorte asked the Mayor for the floor. This
was granted. Mr. LaPorte said that at the last Civic Association
meeting he was instructed to convey to the Gulf Stream Town
Commission the thanks of the Civic group. He expressed his and
the group's appreciation to the Town's Mayor and Commissioners
for extending special invitations to him and Mr. Hart, for
cooperating with the group in several projects, and in endeavoring
to prevent the widening of AlA.
Mayor Lindsay, for himself, and on behalf of the Town
Commission, thanked Mr. LaPorte for the kind words and for his
faithful attendance at the Commission meetings.
Mr. Willial Koch reported that he had discussed the possi-
bility of the Town securing a franchise from the Telephone
Company. He explained that with the state laws governing such
agreements it appeared as if the best arrangement that could
be made with the Telephone Company would be for the Town to get
free local telephone service. He made it understood that he
would go into this matter further.

Town Commission Meeting of April 12, 1958 (continued)
J. R. Fountain said that he had heard from the State Beverage
1 Commissioner. It will be necessary for the Town to pass and adopt
ordinances before collecting cigarette taxes. All the material
was turned over to Mr. Lilienthal so that he could draw up the
appropriate ordinances. Mayor Lindsay asked Mr. Lilienthal to
also review the Town's Water Contract with the Golf Club, and draw
up the proper document for notifying the Club of the Town's
intention to renew the contract.
Mayor Lindsay said he had the Town's Fire Protection Agreement
sent the Town by Boynton Beach. For the services set forth the
charge this year, April 18, 1958 through April 18, 1959, will be
$1,500.00. Mr. Koch said that since Boynton had spent $20,000.00
in new equipment and had employed two additional full time firemen,
he believed this figure to be reasonable. The Commission voted
unanimously to accept the agreement and pay Boynton $1,500.00
for fire protection for the ensuing year.
Mrs. Oliver and Mrs. Grand expressed the desire to have the
Town stop all dumping on the lands in the Town lying west and
north of their properties.
Mr. Pope explained that they could stop the Town from dumping
in that area. This the Commissioners agreed to do. Mrs. Oliver
and Mrs. Grand then suggested that if dumping in that area would
be a saving to the Town then it would be agreeable to them for the
Town to dump near the ditches on Henry Pope's land beginning after
Mrs. Grand leaves and stopping on her return. Mr. Iglehart made
a motion that the Town continue to dump at Mr. Nitchkie's, but
that J. R. Fountain endeavor to find a dumping site nearer the
Town and where there is no charge. Mr. Dodson seconded and the
motion carried unanimously. Mr. Iglehart requested J. R. Fountain
to contact County Carting Company and get their charge for picking
up and hauling trash and garbage. J. R. Fountain said he would
have the figures for the next regular meeting.
The Commissioners were given copies of the proposed budget
for the 1958 -1959 fiscal year. The Mayor asked that the Commissioners
examine their copies and make recommendations at a later meeting.
There was a general discussion by the Commissioners regarding
the need for larger water mains in some areas of Gulf Stream. Mr.
Koch moved that a Town Meeting be held on April 26, 1958 to
discuss the necessity of raising the water rate to provide funds
for improving the water supply throughout the Town. Mr. Dodson
seconded and the motion carried unanimously. J. R. Fountain said
he would mail the notices to the voters and taxpayers, make
provision for the use of the Gulf Stream School Hall, and other
incidental matters.
Mayor Lindsay stated that the Town had redeemed the U. S.
Treasury Bills purchased in January, 1958. e
