the mill to pay for re-installation or
to pay the minimum rate while closed.
The report of the rest room showed
894 registered guests and seventeen
out of state guests.
The report of the city health officer
showed that the milk from the Painter
dairy was the richest and the milk
from the Thrash dairy the cleanest
last month. DR.. Watt was present,
and after. reading his report the coun-
Gil asked if he had any recommenda-
tions to make as to the cfty's sanitary
conditions. DIR. Watt said that since
Mr.. Brumby had taken charge the i'm
provement had been so marked and
was still going on at such rapid
rate that he hesitated to ask anything
more, but that if there was any one
thing that he wanted the city to get
after it was the mosquito. He outlined
a simple plan for the sanitary depart
ment to carry out in making this pest
scarce in Ocala. DIR. Watt called at
tention to a case of typhoid fever in
North Ocala and mentioned that
the house where this case is located is
not connected with the sewerage sys-
tenn. Mr.. Brumby remarked that we
had in North Ocala a $4,000 sewer
age system and to the best of his
knowledge there have been only three
connections made with it to date.
Plans are being made to hasten the
connection with the sewerage system
After applications were read to fill
the various city Offices the following
were elected: City attorney, F. R.
Hooker; tax collector and treasurer,
W. W. Clyatt; clerk, H. C. Sistrunk.
None of the foregoing had any opposi-
tion but the position of fire chief was
applied for by both Elwood Raymond
and H. S. Chambers. Mr.. Chambers
was unanimously elected. Superinten-
dent of light and water plant, L. B.
Mckenzie, and chief of police, Henry
Gordon, also without opposition.
Bids were opened for sidewalks on
North Main and North Sanchez

Ordinances were introduced for the
paving of S. Main stret from Fort
King to South Second with asphalt
blocks by the city and for the paving
of Orange street from S. 9Th to the
hospital with an 8-inch lime base, 18
feet wide, covered with a two-coat
Tarvia treatment, this work also to be
done by the city. These ordinances
were both recommended for second
reading.
Mr.. Brumby asked the advice of the
council relative to the parking on
various streets. The street depart
ment is now painting lines on various
streets to indicate where parking is
allowed. 1t was agreed that there
should be no parking on the east side
of Main street between Broadway and
Fort King, on the north side of Fort
King between Magnolia and Osceola
and on the south side of Fort King
from Osceola to Alvarez street. These
parking rules are indicated by white
lines. Where you see no parking stalls
marked off you are not allowed tc
park. In addition to this method, nc
parking" signs are to be placed where
they may be easily seen.
Mr.. Brumby has secured for his files
a complete plat of all the real estate
owned by the city.
A telephone, paid for by the city
and placed in some central location il
the Tucker Hill settlement for use a:
fire alarm was suggested but it wa:
decided that it would be cheaper tt
install some sort of an electric alarm
there connected with the fire station
This brought about the question of (
regular fire alarm system for the en-
tire city and Mr.. Brumby was in
structed to get prices on the Gamewel
fire alarm system.
Mr. H. A. Fausett asked that tn,
council use a Tarvia or oil street OF
Broadway west of the S. A. L. cross
ing because the property owners ou
there are not able to pay for perma
nent paving. The council told him t.
get the property owners to sign pc
tition to that effect for if it please,
the owners of property ther it woul
suit the council to use that money OF
some other street.
Mr.. Goldman offered the council
S1100 for the pound lot on West For
King and his offer was accepted. Thi
sum is to be paid, 800 cash, $500 i
September 1922 and $500 in Decembe
