NEW BUSINESS Mayor Armstrong stated that at the last meeting of the previous Council, November 6th, 1963, the firm of Ossinsky and Krol presented a bill to the City in the amount of $S95.17. This bill originated from a friendly suit in which David L. Wiggins, Sr. volunteered to act as an Elector of the City to get a ruling on whether this bill on primary elections was valid. The Circuit Court ruled it was null and void. Mayor Armstrong stated that he personally, along with another elector of the City, appealed this to the Supreme Court. The ruling from the Supreme Court was in our favor and the bill was said to be valid with one minor correction that was made. The previous Council by a vote of 3-2 voted to pay this bill. Mayor Armstrong stated that the day after the meeting it wasn't possible for the check to be dra'~ up by the previous Council, therefore, I have had no authorization to sign a check for this bill. He said it was up to this Council to make a motion to authorize him to sign the check if that is what they want done. Councilman Siller stated that he has opposed the payment of the bill in the past, but in order to avoid litigation he moved that the bill be paid with the condition that Mr. Ossinsky return all papers that belong to the City. \<1hen these papers are returned we should pay him the amount of $S95 .17, seconded by Councilman Cairnie and by vote CARRIED. The roll call vote was unanimous. MISCELLANEOUS Mr. Adolph LaBonde, Building Official, thanked the Council for voting to join the Southern Standard Building Congress. Mayor Armstrong said that this book would be available to all the builders to see, if they so desire. A question was asked as to why the street lights are out on the river front. Mayor Armstrong said he reported this but has not found out why. Mrs. George Kennedy said there was a traffic accident and a utility pole was hit and that is why all the lights are out. Mayor Armstrong thanked Mrs. Kennedy for her information. Mrs. Thelma Hennig thanked the Council for re-appointing the Library Board. She said they will continue to do the best they can for the City Library in the coming year. Mayor Armstrong explained that the Council has a- lot to take care of and that is the delay in some of these appointments. .. II u v '-I u Mrs. Helen Grayson asked if there is any change in the registration for voting. Mayor Armstrong said it is still in New Smyrna Beach. Mr. Bertalan Boz said that there was a dangerous conditon existing between Juniper and the Railroad and asked that this be looked into. Mayor Armstrong said he would check into this. He said that if anyone knows of any hazardous conditions they should call the city hall and give the message to us so we can look into it.
