Mr. Van Wagner asked for permission to hot tar the railroad

letter be written to the Company telling them the crossing was
in a dangerous state and asking them-to take care of it.
Mr. Fredrich said the cleaning up of the City would start
withthe NORTHEAST SeCtion next week fortwo days, the follow-
ing day for Co$ored town~ and following days forthe other
sections of the t0wn,~and that no trash will be picked up
unless placed at the curb or in the alley.
Mr. Griffith said the merchants of the town are bmrning
their refuse on Ocean Avenue and that this should not be per-
mitted as it is not only a nuisance but a hazard.

written to the Chief of the Fire DePartment telling him that the
Council recommend that this procedure be stopped.

Regarding the stone ~for the grave of a colored veteran~
which Police Chief Carver said was stored in the Police Station,

o~=~ ~ a smgn wnmen'theChamoer~wOuld like to have erected
~ ~e corn? ,f Ocean and FederaI~ advertising the Beach and
~msalng, an~ which would cost app~oximately $1,~00.00. He
asked tha~ the remaining $600.0~ n6t now needed for the Manager
of the Chamber be donated towards the cost of the sign instead.
It was agreed that in any case it WoUld'not be wise to
erect the signuntil after the hurricane season; that theCity

could be made for OctOber.
The matter was tabled.
