Mr~ Hood suggested that the representatSve of the
Ciewiston Motor Company~ who had brought a f~lm d~mo~s~rah~ng
garbage disposal by the landfill method, should now show it.
After showing the film, the representative said that
Lake Worth and Delray Beach have already adopted this method,
and that West Palm Beach is using it now on an experimental
basis, but hopes to get it included in next year's budget.
He said that Belle Glade and Tampa also use it, and that it
is much less expensive than incinerator me,hods, the initial
cost being ~$out $9,000 to $10,000 for the m~chinery, which
could also be made useful for other jobs around the ~mty.
Mr. Hood thanked the representative for taking the
trouble to come and show the pictures, which were most inter-
esting. He said that some day the City's garbage disposal
system ~ould need changing, and when that time came the
Clewiston Motor Company would be communicated v~th~

Mr. Griffith read a letter from the F.E.C. Railway re-
garding a flag stop for Boynton for trains coming South. They
said they had already 18 stops between Jacksonville and Miami
and have many complaints from passengers on account of the
frequent stops. Under the circ,~m~tances they regretted being
unable to comply with the request.
It was suggested that the City might retaliate by making
the trains slow dowm when passing through the City limits, but
it was pointed out that grudges of that kind could work both
ways.
At the suggestion of ~r. Griffith it was decided to invite
the F.EoC. to send a representative to a Council meeting so
that the matter could be discussed generally. Mr. Hood asked
Mr. Griffith to send such an invitation.
~. Anderson raised the question of payment for building
inspection work during the absence of ~. Greenwood, Building
Inspector.
It was decided that the payment to Mt.Anderson for such
inspection work should be $50.00 a month,
A long discussion followed

necessitated crossing under the
on the expense to the City in
service for his property, which
highway and the railroad.
Mr. Griffith thought nothing could be done as if the
property were sold the new purchaser would not allow the pipe
to be dug up.
Mr. Shook suggested the meter be moved to the property
line unless and until the property owner grants an easement
on the East end of his property, when meters can be installed
as needed on his lots. At ~resent the meter is in the
middle of the property.
There being no furthar
