SPECIAL MEETING

                                                                                                                        February 28, 1949

A special meeting of Council was convened at 7:30 P.M., Monday, February 28, 1949, with Mayor Storey presiding. Members present were Messrs Behen, Carroll, Culver, Lofland and Wilson.

The subject of extending present electric lines to include the area between Cowgill’s Corner and the North Little Creek Road was discussed. City Manger Brown estimated the cost to the City would be between $3200 and $3700, depending on the number of customers served. He recommended the employment of additional linemen and equipment of the Reo truck with a new line body.

Council approved the purchase of a line body for the Reo truck and the employment of such additional personnel as would be needed to form a second line crew.

Council approved construction of the electric line extension between Cowgill’s Corner and the North Little Creek Road, a distance of approximately one and seven-eighths miles, providing a minimum of four farms and two other dwellings agree to purchase current for a period of five years at a minimum rate to the farms of $10.00 per month, and to the dwellings of $3.00 per month.

Mr. Culver proposed that Section 9, Chapter IX of the ordinances of the City of Dover be amended to increase the fee required for a permit to peddle or sell merchandise on the streets of Dover from $3.00 per permit, to $500.00 per vehicle per year. Following discussion, Mayor Storey appointed the City Solicitor, City Manager and City Clerk a committee to further sutdy the subject and report back to Council.

Council adjourned at 8:45 P.M.
