ney Solms, Supt. Reed, Chief McCutchen and Mr. Lang.
Councilman Lovell stated that the Town should get straight
on the matter of charges for installing water mains, the present
Ordinance allows the property owner 60l, all over that he is
charged for, die suggested any water main installed in any public
street south of Ft. Screven should be installed without charge
and made it as a motion which was seconded and passed. The ques-
tion of allowing property owners at Estill Station to sink a well
was discussed and it was decided that the Water Committee has
power to grant permission. Councilman Lovell stated that T. B.
McCarroll owes for past due water rent which Mr. McCarroll con-
tends some of the charges are too high, Supt. Reed stated that
he had checked the meter and ascertained that he was using an
average of 133,000 gallons per month, the Mayor stated that it
- should be corrected, it was moved, seconded and passed that the
- Mayor be authorized and empowered to handle the matter, using
his discretion as to the correct amount that is due the Town.
Councilman Lovell stated that he had issued instructions

property now occupied by Hodges Store at Campbell Avenue and the
Auto Road that the water be cut off, he also called attention to
three parcels of property owned by R. H. Seay'and two parcels
owned by J. G. Miller which have not been connected to the sewer-
age system. It was decided that the Mayor will see Mr. Miller
relative to his property and Town Attorney Solms will contact
Mr. Seay.
The Mayor informed Council that the building on Section 1

demmed. It was moved, seconded and passed that condemnation

write parking violations to start work May 1st, last year a man

why one of the policemen couldn't do this, the Chief stated that
he was instructed by Councilman Peters to keep a man at the
Police Station, it was moved, seconded and passed that the

ment be moved to # 2 Police Station as soon as possible, he also
stated that the Air Patrol will have three men down effective
April 15th for the season.
Supt. Reed called attention to the bad condition of the
street in front of the Tybee Terrace cottages and stated that it
should be repaired at once as it is dangerous and holds water as
it cannot be drained, Thomas & Hutton had recommended that it be
corrected. The Town Attorney was instructed to see Mr. J. 0.
Bacon of the State Highway Department with a view to having the
condition remedied.
Councilman Strong reported that the work on the approach
to the bridge at 6th Street near the 4 H Camp was progressing
nicely, but that the Town should try and get a drag line.
Supt. Reed stated that a lack of garbage cans at the homes
on different parts of the Island is getting to be a problem, it
was decided that when the tax notices were mailed a folder call-
ing attention to Ordinances relating to garbage cans would be en-
closed. Mr. Reed also stated that some sections of the water main
running to the 4 H Camp had rusted out but that he had some pipe
with which he could replace bad sections.
Councilman Lovell called attention to the bad and danger-
ous condition caused by Mr. Perry Solomon, Jr. littering up 2nd
Avenue between 2nd & 3rd Streets with old rubbish, trash and etc.,
Councilman Strong was requested to contact Mr. Solomon and have
him correct this condition.
Councilman Brown suggested that some effort be made to
bring several groups of Baseball Players to the Beach next summer,
and acquire an area large enough to build three diamonds, he stat-
ed that Mr. Earl Mack is coming to Tybee shortly. The Mayor stat-
ed that the matter would be gone into at a later date.

Councilmen for the monthly attendance be increased, it was decided
to hold off on this until the next meeting.
