allowed extra compensation of $50.00 as paid for services rendered at

ilion, Izlar Bath House, Tybee Bath House, the sea had eaten away a
portion of the Beach along these properties and had washed out con -
siderable sand and had caused numerous pilings {pocked from under
some of these places. The Mayor said he f e communication
to the Tybee Amusement Company requesting that they place a Bulkhead
in front of the Breaker's property but that they contended the
