For economy and service the Council thought it wise to pur- chase a Battery Recharger , to keep the batteries in the Fire Truck and all other city owned automobiles in good condition. Mr. H. A. Pilsner, owner or abat:tery shop in the city advised he had a machine in perfect condition, which originally sold for approximately $90.00" which he would sell to the city for the amount o.f $25.00, and would agree to look after the Batteries and keep them serviced. Commissioner Allen made a motion authorizing the Secretary to issue a check for the purbhase of this machine, which motion was duly seconded by Mayor Hyett. . The city has had s.everal opportunities recently to sell lot 26 Block 13, Rice Court Addition,{which lot was danatedto the city several years ago by Jarrard & Plumb, for the build- ing of a City Hall).It is the opinion of the COlL~cil that it will be an advanta.ge to. dispose of this lot, as the money could be used to a very good advantage at this time, and would also bring revenue each year in taxes.

The Secretary was' instructed to notify Mr. Plumb and draw up the necessary deed and etc. Inasmuch as the Deputies riding several hours at night patroling the city with the policeman, it was suggest- ed that they be paid seventy-five cent (.75) per night. A motion authorizing this was made by Commissioner Allen and duly seconded by Mayor Hyett. Mr. Joe Clarke, policeman, asked if the City would furnish him a uniform which he felt would benefit the city and be a protection to himself. After dueconsid- eration he was instructed by the Mayor to secure prices at various places for two (2) flannel shirts, two (2) pairs of pants, and a pair of puttees, and sumit figures at the next Council meeting. Due to the number of .houses having been constructed in the second addition, it was suggested that another street light be installed in that section. Mr. J. A.
