<br /> On motion of Mr. 0asr, seconded by Mr. Esleeck, the report of the Committee was adopted,
<br />
<br />and by the following vote:
<br /> Ayes~ Brooks, Esleeck, Hutohins, Oast, Smith,
<br /> Stewart, l~hite, 7.
<br /> The following oommunioati0ns were read f~om the City N~n~ger:
<br /> 1st. "Acting on vs~ious communications from Federml inspectors and from the officers of
<br /> Grimes Battery, I have taken steps to p=ovide fire protection at the temporary stable occupied
<br /> by Grimes Battery on Columbia St. This, however, does not give a perm~nen~ solution of the
<br /> problem, as the ~ederal'inspeotors are not satisfied with the stable in this locmlity.
<br /> I have gone over what seemed to be various attractive propositions mhd the best thing in
<br /> my opinion and in this the officers of Grimes Battery and the Federal officer concur, would
<br /> be to put the ~stable on a triangular piece, of land south of the Cmthole fronting about 1~5 ft.
<br /> on Midelle St. and extending south and east to the Seaboard Air Line; the east and west dimension
<br /> being about 220 ft, This site is outside the fire limits and a suitable stmble ~ith g~lv~nized
<br /> iron roof and wooden or galvanized iron sides with store-room, guard moom and harness room
<br /> could be constructed thereon for three ~ four thousand dollars.
<br /> The site is held at $10,000. It is difficult to get at its assesse~ value on account of
<br /> lack of definite description, but. sc far as I ca~ det~m$~e~ the assessed value of the entire
<br /> plot at the s~theast oo~ner of Mmddte a~d Bs~vt Sts. is $3,200. The site in question is valu-
<br /> able as t~e Seaboard Air Line ski~t~ its southern mhd eastern bo~der. I should therefore con-
<br /> clude that the assessed v~lue of ~he ~outhern Dart of the site was probably $2,000. I believe
<br /> we might well offer $3,000 for thms sxte and i~ it is not accepted to then proceed to condemn
<br /> it, mhd I sc =ecommend."
<br /> On motion of M~, Esleeok, the pri~iiege cf the floor was granted to a~y one interested
<br /> in this mmtte=, and~jo~ Sands, J. C, Emmerson, Jr., and B. B. Ferguson' spoke urging Council
<br /> to provide suitable stables for Grimes Battery} ~nd the B~ilding Inspector submitte~ a sketch
<br /> of the proposed new stables.
<br />
<br /> the property ~esoribed in the N~n~ger s communication an~ tz ~ne o~e. ,
<br />
<br /> riled to enter condemnation proceedings.
<br /> N~r. Brooks moved to amend, that Councit. go o~ ~eoord as pledging its support
<br /> proper stables for Grimes Batte=y, and that the 0ity M~n~ger ~e instructed to.co~side~ and~sub-
<br /> ~it several slates at the next meeting of 0ounoil. N~. ~ro~ks amendment receives no sec0na.
<br /> Mr. Esleeck's motion was a~opted, and by the following vote:
<br /> Ayes-- Es~eeok, Hutchins, Omst, Smith, Stewart, I~hite, 6.
<br /> Nays-- Brooks, 1.
<br /> Mm. Brooks stmted that he was against ~m~e= of selecting the si~e for the stables
<br /> and not against Grimes Battery.
<br /> On motion of Mr. Esleeck, the recommer~ded ~ppropriatlon by the ~an~ger for the const~uc-
<br /> tion o~ a building on the site was referred to the Finmnce Committee.
<br /> End. Recommendation that appropriations of $7.75 be refmnded to D. E. Suter and W. C.
<br /> Thomas each, for one-quarter's jitney licenses, said licenses hmving bee~ revoked.
<br /> On motion, the recommendation was role=red to the Finance Committee.
<br /> 3rdo Recommendmtion that 0. M. Bunting, of the Fire Department, be retired on ~ s~lary of
<br /> $82.~O~pe~r month, on acooun~ of physical dismbility.
