Mayor Armstrong said there have been a number of complaints about the
sulphur in the Water System. He said it is harmless::-but does have a bad
odor. ~he reason for this is they are over pumping on one well. A detailed
examination of the whole system has been made and it was found that there are
red worms in the System. This problem is not uncommon. The Health Department
said these worms are harmless. We checked with the Engineers as to the best
time to work on this problem. Friday Night until Sunday Night, 35 pounds of
H.T.H. was put in the tank and all water was pumped from the well field. He
said this will have to be done one more time and then the problem should be
eliminated.
Mr. Bebbington, Florida Shores, asked when the notices were going to be sent
out notifying the residents of Florida Shores they would have to hook up to the
Water System.
Mayor Armstrong said he is working on this now and all notices will be sent
out before the project is completed.
Councilman Cairnie thanked Mr. LaBonde and Mr. Ream for all the work they
did in erecting the Park and Pier sign. Mayor Armstrong also thanked
Mr. Fred Cotnoir who assisted in the Project.
Councilman Cairnie presented to the Council plans for the installation of
a roller skating rink in the Edgwater Park. The rink would be within the

Motion duly made by Councilman Cairnie we adopt the plan submitted for the
roller skating rink and also move all the swings, slides, etc. inside the
fence, seconded by Councilman Siller and by vote CARRIED. The roll call
vote of those present was unanimous.
