The Mayor advised Council that as the new drainage system on the
Louth end of the island had necessitated running drainage pipe
under Butler avenue and also Chatham avenue, through which the seve ;:'al
ditches drain into the Inlet,it developed after this work wad done
that a very dangerous condition had arisen due to no provision
having been made for the construction of retaining walls on both
sides of the streets,so Mr Horovitz made emotion that the Mayor
be empowered to have this work completed at the earliest possible
moment, which was seconded by Mr Espy and passed.
The Police Committee recommended that the sAMary to be paid the
new policemen for the coming season be 100.00 per month and
that whenever it is necessary that extra traffic officers be
employed that they be paid 3.00 per day,Mr Espy adds a motion
that this be done which was seconded by Mr Logan and passed.

was seconded by Mr Espy and the motion passed.
The Mayor intormed Council that Dr Bassett had agreed to analize
the water supply every month for the Town and make his report
to the State health department in Atlanta.
With the summer season gradually approaching it is apparent that
411 some method be adopted whereby some protection couldbe afforded
those bathers who go in the surf along the beadle away from the
large bath- houses which have professional life guards to look
after their patrons,and it was finally decided that four or five
small storage boxes be placed along the beach at vantage points,
these boxes to contain a life preserver and about 250 feet of
rope in a coil fastened to the preserver and placed in the
storage boxes in such position that it cold be quickly removed

and carried to the point where it would be needed after which .hen
it had served its purpose, it would be returned to the storage boxe
and placed in position for use again,the Supervisor of Life Saving

boxes on the beach.
