~. Cromer's ~ork in at the ss_~e tLme.
There was further discussion on the subject of the trailers
for sale by ~-~oBroski. It was agreed that so long as ~.Broski

2, 19~2: requesting a copy of the ~atnutes of each meeting of the
Council~ before the foll~ving meeting takes place, ~ud also
an advance copy of the agenda for such meetings~
~o F~edrich 'said he did not approve of copies of minutes
being provided before they ~d been read at the followiug meet-
ing of the Cou~ucil amd any necessary cha~es made; he also
said it wo~ald estgolish a precedent amd every org~aization in
tow~a could ask for tb~e s~e priviIege.
Shook thought P0~.~ was e~_~mt~em to a copy~
~. ~m~f~n samd that the minutes shoui~ not be given out
until they have been s~thenticated~ that is ~util after they
have been accepted by the~.~_~'-~ and co~rectio~ made.

tive attend the meet~gs to jot do~m notes of sush matters as

ne~ members required for the ~-~_ectrica! Board, and it was stated

~r. Hood said he had asked for bids for a speaker system
from three local stores but had only received one from the
Bill Smith Radio shop for $130,23 for one model and ~163.23
for another.
Mr. Shook suggested trying the less expensive mike and,
if it did not work, then b~ving the other one.
~r. Hood said he was told that one mike would be better
than two on the Co~cil table, and suggested put~ing one in on
approval to see how it works, saying he wo~ald try to s~rs.r~e
this for the next meeting°
