Mr. v-lalker: The Edgewater Shuffleboard v,as started last year and we now have
60 members. We find the courts in a tough condition and need attention as
soon as possible. The approximate cost of putting an application of acid
and waxed again will run around $150. This price was furnished us by Mr.
Domonic Petty who has given other courts in this area this treatment and
they are infine condition. The shuffleboard club will give $50 if the City
will give the rest. Councilman Armstrong stated we realize there is an
expense connected with these courts and I am in accord with spending $100.
Motion duly made by Councilman Beck we spent $100. No second. Mr. Frantzen
stated the Board of Governors probably would go along and give something
for this work and maybe all. Hr. Wilcken stated Hr. Frantzen was only one
man on the board and it would have to be taken up with the full board. Motion
by Councilman Beck withdrawn. Motion duly made by Councilman Armstrong if
the Board of Governors turn down giving this money, the Mayor be authorized
