You will recall that at the time you requested me to issue letters
tEl all delinquent t1J.xpayers on the rol1s of the Cityof:,Wes-1:i Univer-
8i ty Place, advisiI}g them that the city had remi;1;,ted:i,p':f;~:r:e;;;*,and pen-
al,ties, providing payment was made on or before Deo-ember'31'; 1'902, the
questionccame up as to who would pay the expenses, and you asked if I
would not pro.oeed with the issuance of the' letters immediately in order
that taxpayers could be advisedattthe earliest practicable time, and
that the matter of the expense could be adjusted, and you asked if I
~uld not be willing to faY a. portion thereof, to which I assented.
. . ... 'The total expenses were al!Jproximatel1 $100.00. You will' recall
that I employed an extra stenographer at :jp5.00 per week for a period
of four wBeks, she doing nothing but issuing these letters and address-
ing the necessary envelopes. I also used approximately $30.00 worth
of stamps.
I am wonderin if it would not be fair for the dity to pay the cost
of the extra stenographer, which amounts to $~O.OO, and also pay $20.03
on the amount of stamps purchased. If this cam be done, I shall be
glad to pay the balance of the indebtB6BeSS incurred in printing the
necessary form letters and envelopes and purchasing the remaining
stamps. .
You ~ill also recall that at the time you discussed with me the
question of. the letters to be is sued relative to the remis{:?~on of pen-
alties and interest on delinquent taxes, it was necessary .to quickly
ascertain the names 'of all property owners, and lien hol~ders, and you
advised me to communicate with Mr. Frank Breaker and make an agreement
with him relative to title examinations on those lots which had not
already been ascertained by )~. J. W. Wilder. I am enclosing herewith
copy of letterwhtmh embodies the agreement in question. You will see
from the agreement that I have obliggted myself to pay to Mr. Breaker
25~ per lot if and when.the taxes are collected. Thi~ covers a certain
list, of lots on the 1925-1931 (inclusive) delinquent tax rolls. It

Mr-. H.O. Cla.rke and Mr.Banahan ot the Houston Lighting
and Power Company were present and stated that they
wanted to discuss with the Council the matter of con-
tinuing a,ervj,ng the City with street lights. They also
stated that the City was indebted to their company tor
, approximately $4:200, which is several months old.
They suggested that if the Citycould not pay the current
bills and a part of the old accoUnt each,month, that t~ey
wou.ldrecOmmend that the street lights be cut'off until
sueh t~me as the City was able to pay for same. After
quite a lengthly discussion Mr. Clark stated that his
Company would be willing to accept $3000.00 in full pay-
ment of the old account of $~200.00. But. in as much as
the eity is at this time without sufficient funds to ef-
l'~ct' 'this settlement, the Mayor stated. that we would
endeavor to work this out at a later date.
Regarding the current monthly bill which is $260.00,
Mayor " Hyet tasked, Mr. Clark if his Company would reduce
the'monthly charge if we would cut out about 50% of the
street lights. Mr.Clark then suggested that the Council
work out some plansand submit at a later date; and he
felt quite sure it could be worked out satisfactorily.
J The Council gave Mr.R.L.Sonfield authority to call Mr. '
J.~ Ferguson at Austin in regards to the Loan on the
Disposal Plant and charge to the City of West University
Place.

The Commission convened on the above date with Mayor Hyett

retary Jarrard in attendance.
At the above meeging the following visitors were present.
Dr.Elva Wright, R.L.Bonfi,eld, Mr.A.Shavecr, Mr.H.P.Pope,and
Mr.D.S.Parker.
Dr.Wright stated that due to the lack of harmony and friend-
ly feeling among the citizens of West University Place, and
the unfavorable publicity Ollllr City was re'ceiving, we should
make some effort to create a more frien~ly spirit, which
would be of a great benefit to the City and community.
It was suggeste~ that we give a gree barbecue to get as many
citizens together as pessible. After considerab~e discussion
it was arranged for Friday Night, October 27th. Commissioner
Allen was, appointed to complete arrangements.
Mr.Ernes~ L.Draper appeared before the Council and advised
that the City was indebted to him in the amount of $20.00,
which was a premium on bonds amde in connection with the
'e.L.Anderson and .InolH.Kirby Cases. Attorney Sonfield stated
tba t these ponds were necessary and t.he charge was just and
should be paid. Mayor Hyett advised him that same would be paid.
Attorney Sonfeild stated that several parties had been to
his office to pay delinquent taxes and that he nor the City
Attorney, Mr.Winslow could not accept the money for the rea-
son that they had no tax receipts blanks. The Secretary was
instructed to draw a form and have same printed to the de-
linquent taxes could'be paid either at'the City Hall or the
Attorney's office.
The Secretary presented the following warrants for approval.
