In an interâ€" view following Monday evening‘s meeting, Mayor Ronan stated that he had in his hands a report on the city‘s general health made by an unâ€" biased observer.

What few members of the community attended the session spent most of the time squirming around in their seats in a vain effort to attain at least some degree of comfort in the sweltering heat. The council, too, deeming it advisable to keep its dignity on its accustomed high level by wearing coats, seemed most unhappy, â€" While the dog days are upon us and activity among the City Fathers along with the rest of us is at low ebb, there are several things in the offing of vital interest to the comâ€" munity.

It was simply too hot to think and by unanimous consent discussion of the community‘s more weighty problems was tabled until the weather man was in a more genâ€" erous mood. Action at Monday evening‘s sesâ€" sion was limited strictly to routine affairs. Following the reading of the minutes of the preceeding meetâ€" ing by City Clerk Musser, the memâ€" bers of the council were called upon for their reports which were renâ€" dered in as few words as possible. The city clerk informed the counâ€" cil that he had a request for liâ€" censes for curb gasoline pumps on St. Johns Ave. This request was for a renewal of permits on pumps already in existance, but due to the city‘s policy of cancelling licenses on such installations whenever possible, it was refused. Before the vote was formally made by the council Mayor Ronan took a few minutes to explain the city‘s viewpoint on the subject.
