H. B. Sehlesinger, Mayor.
H. L. Baker, Commissioner. J.A. Wall.ing, Commissioner,
Erwin Cushman, City Sec~etary.
The qu.estiono,f beautifying the City:Parks of our City
an important undertaking was DB ably presented by-Mayor Schlesinger
and the necessity for the appointment .of a Park Oummissioner was
set forth. The name of 1~. p~ A. Leckronew8s suggested and,
Motion was made by Commissioner Walling and duly seconded by Commis-
sioner Baker directing th~t Mr.P.. .A. 1~ckron be appointed to the
place of Park Commissioner. '
Voting Aye, Oeinfui:ssioners Walling and Baker, Carried.
Mayor Schles.inger~hen sought opportunity to call atten-
ti o:n. ti on to the fact that having purchased a Fire Engine for the City
the appointment of a F1flr, MaF' shal 1 was in order and proposed the name
o:f Mr. J. A. Meteal:f." . , .

The rapid stri~ made by our City along the line of pro-
gress and substantial de" opsment was then very extensively recit-
ed by M~or Schlesinger who declared that in his opinion a Plannin~'
Board should be appointed from among our citizens:to assist and act
with the Engineering Department in outlining future projects. The
Mayor :further stated that reports had been circula.ted to the effect
that the City had beenrun by just 2 or 3 men heretofore, and he felt
under the circumstances these reports were an injustice. He explain-
ed that eonditions former~y existing, where the Council WaS compell-
ed to act wi"thout outside'adviee or assistance. was not accomplished
by the body as a matter. ,of choice, bu.t, as 8. matter of fact, by virtue
of the lack of interest and co-operation manifested by the citizens
themselves in failing to attend meetings, despite repea*ed invita-
tion to do so.
The names of several influential citizens were then suggest-
ed to aetas 8 Planning Board, viz:1Messrs, P. R. Plumb, S. D. Leverett
E. R. Stubee and R. L. Benton, a :fifh name to be chosen later, and
the Board ultimately to consist of itfive members. It was alsodeaided
that the namting:colf ahG:n.ma.n be deferred until a.ppointment o:f the
other member.
Commissioner Walling then made a motion which, was duly seconded by
Oommissioner Baker, that MIlssrs Plumb~ Leverett, Stubee and Benton
be appointed with a fithmember later to constitu.te the Planningu
:.i:kK Beard as suggested by the Mayor and that a Chairman be named
after the selection of a fifth man.
