Letter from Mr. Walker regarding the surface of the shuffleboard courts.
This to cost about $150.00 for the six courts. Councilman Armstrong stated
these courts were tested before painting and they were not slick enough, now
they are too slick. I think we should take this under consideration before
committing ourselves. All were in accord.

Council at this time. Councilman Armstrong stated there seemed to be some
misunderstanding as to water connections in Florida Shores. The people do

the water and pay for installations. Mayor Shaeffer then stated for the
benefit of all the people in Florida Shores, where the water is available, to
come to the City hall and make application.
