Upon motion made by Commissioner Bowen, seconded

RESOLUTION was passed and adopted:
R E S 0 LU T I O N
%VH~AS, the Town of Boynton has at a_u expense of
approximately twenty,Five thousan~ dol!~s ($25,000,00)
constz~gted a bathing csSino on land owned bY the town
fronting upon the Atlantic Ocean, which casino is used
by the public in conj~actiOn with surf bathing in the
Atlantic Ocean, and
~Fw~AS, Colonel Re R* McCormick is the ovgaer of
ocean front lands lying a slight distance north of said
casino and has prepared plans for and intends to constr~ct
along the shore of the Atlantic Ocean fronting his la~uds
a sea wall and groynes, and has applied to the War Depart-
men~ of the United States for per~_ission so to do, and
WHEREAS, it is apparent beyond qdestion that the
construction of said sea wa_ll and groynes, o~ either
of them~ will cause an erosion to the south thereof which
within a short will eat away the beach in front of the
casino and unaerm~ne the casino itself, anm thereby r~ake
worthless the znvestment of the town in said land and
the casino and destroy the bathing facilities o£ the
residents of the Town of Boynton~ therefore
BE iT PGESOL?ED that while the town co~,~cil of the
Town of Boynton is reluctant to impede the Construction
of ~he.~improvement contemplated by Colonel McCormick,
it is the opinion of the town council that any advantage
growing out of the making of said ~mprovemen~ would be
far outweighed by the damage that would necessarily
be caused thereby and that said i~provement would
irreparably injure said town of Boynton, wherefore the
Town_ Council of the Town of Boynton, Florida, registers
· ~
this its object_on to the g~snting by the ~ar Department
of the permit applied for.by ~glonel EcCormick.
Er. Wm. P. Somerville, agent~for Ers. Susan Palmer,
offered the sum of ~35.00 for the use of thev~can~ ~
lots south of the Casino for a parking space ~util
September 30, 1936~ Mrs. Palmer to relinquish the use
of smme ~ould the Town sell sa_m~ lots before that date.
Commissioner Stevens made a motion that this proposition
be accepted, w~mch was seconded oy Commissioner Bowen
and unauimously carried.
Upon motion made by C mmmsszoner Bow~n, seconded by
Commissioner Stevens and unanimously carried, ~s.
Susan Palmer was granted a ~ic~nse to sell beer and
wines, ~ud to operate a Restauraut at "Palmer~s Casino.~
There being no further business the meeting adjou~ed.
