In the matter of draining Rocher's Pond, Mr. Clark, representing the Phipps Lumber Company appeared before
the Council and stated that his company depended on said pond for their supply of Boiler water, and that
they would take the necessary steps to prevent the breeding of musquitoes, would keep surrounding weeds out,
and do such other things as were required to cause the Pond to conform .to the requirements of the health
Department* The Mayor stated, on behalf of the City, that such action on the part of the Company would meet
the approval of the.Cityt government;. and that so long as the requirements of the Health authorities were
complied with no further action would be had in the matter.

who wished to be heard. After due consideration and investigation, during which the Mayor amd members of the
Council questioned such persons as were present, in order to ascertain the sentiments -of the community and
the reasons for or against the location.of the building as per the application, and finding that there was
apparently a majority favoring the issuance of the permit, and that no one appeared to support the claim that
such location would depreciate values, or be injurious to health, Alderman Watson moved that the permit be
granted. Alderman Phillips seconded the motion which received the following vote; ayes Aldermen Phillips,
Bynum, Jones, Scott, Watson;. nays none; absent and n t voting Aldermen Drake, Harding and Price. The Mayor
