Other business conducted at the regular city council meeting meet-ing Monday evening: Jesse Long, high school prin-cipal, prin-cipal, representing the Board of Education, objected to the new limits on hours for watering water-ing school lawns, pointing out that the pressure at both the elementary school and high school is so low that it is impossible im-possible to water the lawns in the specified time. Hours for school lawn watering were Increased In-creased to 10 a. m. to 5 p. m.( with the understanding that if water pressure does not Improve Im-prove "other arrangements will be made." Letter from the State Highway High-way Department suggesting that a safety committee be organized or-ganized was referred to the Odd Fellows and Rebekahs for consideration. Recorder Nadine Jones read a letter from the Air Force, replying to a complaint about the "sonic booms" which have been shaking the city recently. The Air Force contends that sonic booms are unavoidable, but Mrs. Jones was instructed to advise the Air Force that many of these occur at the same time each day, so the City Dads believe the same pilot is responsible for them, and they feel that many of these booms can be avoided.

Season tickets for the municipal muni-cipal swimming pool were approved, ap-proved, at a fee of $15 for an entire family, or $8 for individuals. |
