OLD BUSINESS
Mr. vi. Smith appeared before the Council and stated he had been operating
on trial a bus route for a thirty day period and a route and schedule had
been worked out and ask that he be granted a franchise to operate in Edge-
water. He also complained that the Taxi Cabs from New Snwrna Beach had
been going just ahead of the bus and had been picking up passengers and
ask whether they were licensed and if they would please see that they be
stopped as it was hurting his business. Mayork Sedgwick stated the taxi
cabs were not licensed in Edgevmter, and did not have a franchise to operate,
but if anyone in the City calls a cab they can answer the call, but should
not solicit passengers on the return trip.

cases.
NEW BUSINESS
Councilman Shaeffer moved the rest of the Council meetings be held in the
Community Center, seconded by Councilman Farrell and by vote CARRIED.
Councilman Shaeffer regarding the meeting with property holders this afternoon,
it seems to me Mr. Driskel has a justifiable complaint in the amount of ground
being taken for sidewalk and curbing, and suggest that for the ground taken
from Mr. Driskel we move Park Place east 5 or 6 feet back two houses and in
addition that a corner of City Hall property be used for display of his plants,
and give him this advantage and not run him out of town. This started a dis-
cussion and after this Mayor Sedgwick ask for dispositions of the other Council-
men. Councilman Broga stated it we can legally do it" he was in favor of it.
Councilman Henry stated providing other parties back of him are satisfied.
Councilman Farrell, stated he felt we should help George out and keep him in
business as he is a good citizen. Councilman Shaeffer, I am very much in
favor of keeping Mr. Driskel in business, he is a good citizen and I am in favor
of leasing him this ground for $1.00 per year. Motion duly made by Councilman
Shaeffer that the strip of land lYing between the City Hall and easterly
boundary of Park Place shall be leased to George Driskel for $1.00 per said
strip, also fronting on Park Avenue and extending to property leased by Edmond
Gates. Seconded by Councilman Farrell and by vote CARRIED. Roll call vote
