All WSCS members -f • 1 *' r ,l Hs meeting. The meeting was opened with prayer by Alderman Ernest Lay- toiv Following tlj*e reading of minutes of the previous meeting. Mayor Wiseman recognized quite a. large delegation which was present. The group, made up of Mother's club and Parent-Teacher associa tion representatives, local dentists, a local physician, local chiroprac tor, and a sanitary engineer from the State Department of Health, and others were present. For the most part, they were advocates of fluoridation of city water. Tom Pope, spokesman for the group: presented a number of let ters and documents for council's information and inspection. All of these either endorsed the use of sodium silicofluoride in public- water supplies or found no particu lar objection to its use. Dr. E. M. Anderson, and Dr. V. A. Truett. local dentists, told coun cil they favored fluoridation of city water and urged that it he done. Dr. C. A. Dufford. raised a num ber of questions dealing with the proposed program. He made it clear that he was in favor of any program that was beneficial to the health of Newberry’s children, hut that if there was any foundation to statements that fluoride would affect the bone structure or any other part of the body, lie wanted these statements clarified before the program is undertaken. Mr. Stevens, who said he was an engineer with the State Health department, said the system could he handled without additional per sonnel cost and that the water plant operators were w-ell qualified tn introduce the chemical into the city water supply. He added, he was hMartily in favor of the pro gram although he was not a doctor or a dentist. Mr. Pope in concluding his re marks suggested that a referen dum he held along with the June S primary to obtain an expression of the people to the proposed pro gram. Following Mr. Pope’s remarks. Mayor Wiseman entertained a mo- Hon from Alderman Layton that a referendum he held on June S. The motion was seconded by Mr. McDonnell and passed unanimous ly. A report was then heard from ’’oum ilman Armfield. chairman of t committee appointed to study fluoridation. In his report, the chairman stated the committee had met and discussed the ques tion. and asked additional time be fore making a decision. At (his point the delegation pre sent at the beginning of the meet ing left the meeting. Councilman P. D. Holloway re ported that the committee named to study the offstreet parking lot at the corner of College and Boundary streets had consulted with owners of the property, and recommended that the contract he renewed with whatever minor changes b made as was necessary. The committee approved a fee of $50 as rental for use of the lot. Council approved the recommenda tion. Mayor Wiseman read a letter from the. Newberry Recreation Commission requesting that conn 'd] appoint 6 additional members to the commission and to name one member to replace Frank Jones, who resigned. Councilman Armfield moved that Wert Jennings he named to re place Mr. Jones and that action lie deferred on additional mem bers being added to the hoard. A second came from Mr. McConnell, hut in the discussion that follow ed. tlie motion never came to a vote. Armfield withdrew his mo tion in favor of a substitute one calling for Mr. Jenning’s election, md requesting the mayor to ap point a committee of three to look uito the necessity of the addition al members on the commission. Mr. McConnell seconded this mo tion and it passed by a Hi:-*'* 1 to two vote. Alderman Kinard was absent from the meeting. Following the vote Mayor Wise man said that if a committee was to take up the question, no action could be taken until the next coun cil meeting. He said he would call a special meeting as soon as the committee met and made a decis ion. Alderman Armfield a^ked tli* 1 mayor if the recreation program would he disrupted if no decision was made in .30 days. Mr. Wiseman said that it would, and felt that present members of the commis sion would resign if the request was not granted. The mayor said that a program had already been set up including the 6 proposed members. Mr. Armfield made it clear that he was not opposed to any of the persons proposed for the commis sion, hut was trying to determine if it were w ise to increase the com mission from five to 11 persons. He declared that rather than dis rupt the whole recreation pro gram. lie would withdraw his mo tion for he felt it was not that important. Following this discussion a mo tion was entertained to appoint those named to the commission. Council voted in favor of the mo tion. Alderman I^ayton. Holloway and Dufford voted for the motion; Armfield, against; McConnell, ab stained. Council passed on the purchase of a shovel type tractor for the cit^ garbage disposal plant at a cost of $17,865.55. As the last item in business council approved a petition from property owners on East Calhoun Circle street for the city to take over the street for upkeep and im- provem cuts. Mayor Wiseman inf*""'* ■ ! coun cil that the semi-anna a' audit of the city’s books is being made. After the meeting adjourned. Rev. Paul E. Monroe asked that he he heard for the recreation commission. He outlined the plans of the commission and explained the need for additional members Officer Training Set For Zone 3 Zone 2.
