Mayor J. P. Terry presided and all | aldermen were present: Hugh C. Ray, L. S. Reddeck, W. M. McMillan,! H. L. Fichelberger, James Craine, and | Woodrow Wilson. A group of meat market operators | discussed with council the feasibility of again putting the local abattoir in • operation. The delegation stated that 1 Irby Ferguson, local market man, j who was not present because of ill-j ness, desired to lease the abattoir,! and wanted to know how much in the way of improvements to build ing and equipment the city was pre pared to furnish. M. E. Royster, state board of health man working in this county, stated the minimum require ments of the board of health. M<ctyor Terry appointed Aldermen Reddeck, McMillan and Eichelber- ger as a (y>mmittee to make a study of the question. A delegation from the Are depart ment, consisting of the recently elected officers, appeared to ask council where the authority lay in connection with operating the inter nal affairs of the group. Those appearing were Wyman M. Shealy chief; Mabry McCrary, assist ant chief; Fred Pitts, captain; Bill Milam, captain; and Thomas P. Ow-' ens, secretary. Council was of the opinion that ■ since the department was on a vol- i untary basis, the members were sub- J ject to the authority of their own, duly elected officers. Additional complaints were heard ; from residents as to cleaning up and repair of damages by the gas instal lations crews operating in the city. Council again went on record as stat ing that all local residents were to be satisfied with the work performed before the gas contractors were paid 1 the full amount of their contract. Council adopted an ordinance gov erning the installation of the gas sys tem in Clinton, with provisions re lating to service connections by mas ter gas fitters, and other problems having to do with operation and ser vice from the ciy’s standpoint. The city ordinance governing taxi cabs was made to conform with the state law in relation to transportation of liquor and narcotics. Council authorized the installation of lights on the grounds of the Scout cabin near the armory, in response to a request by a number of citizens. The lights will make it possible for the young people to engage in soft- ball and volleyball games, and have picnics on the grounds at night. I The council agreed to furnish la bor only in replacing a number of floodlights and a pole at the Presby terian college athletic field. Council also agreed to extend the parking meters on W.
