GILLESPIE NAMED CHIEF POLICE

Police Chief Robert Gillespie was reappointed to that position by the City Council at it's Tuesday night meeting He was previously ap- pointed driver for the Fire Depart ment.
 The Council approved applications for liquor licenses with the excep- ton of the Marine Bar. 4 protest signed by seven residents of the area where the bar is located near the Harbor Seafoods eanuery was received by the Council and trans mitted to the district court along with the application.
 Insurance on the new and old
 choal building. now considered one for insurance purposes. was author ized increased to bring the total to S300.000.
 Settlement of the Myrtle Full bright accident case for $2.250 was authorized by the Council on an am nual payment plan. Mrs Fulbright. resident Of California. had sued the city for S5o.000 as the result of an injury alIegedly received when she fell near the ANB hall while here as a tourist several years ago. City resisted the case on grounds that the walk where the woman fell was not city property. Threshed around by attorneys since, the Council decided to accept settlement at the lesser figure and le rid of the nuisance value. Coun- Cil had been advised by City AL torney Howard Stabler to accept the offer as it probably would be less costly to the city than defend ing the case in court against non 'esidents with no attachable hold ing in the Territory.
 Street Superintendent Norman Miller reported difficulty in doing street work due to cars parked on the streets and the Council ordered that car owners who make the street a permanent parking place be notified to remove them. or oth- erwise be ticketed.
