Rae Jackson seconded and motion carried unanimously. Margie Robinson was present to speak for the Girl's Softball League. They asked the Board for permission to use the girl's field during September and October on Tuesday and Thursday nights. The Board said there was no problem other than maybe having a high school game on Thursday night and then they could not play. They said there was no problem with that. The Board pointed out that they would have to maintain their own field as the coaches would not be working in Sept -Oct. At this time all discussed the possibility of using the minor league fields along with the boys leagues next year, just scheduling around each other, as the girl's schedule was so full and their games were so long. They were agreeable to this with the understanding that some of the boys might want to use their field also. Margie thanked the Board for their con- sideration and cooperation and left. At this time the bills were considered, Roy Lloyd moved to pay the bills as presented, Al Johnson seconded and motion passed unanimously. Barney informed all that he had been in contact with Mr. Fisk. He said as a result the illegal balls that had been found would no longer be a problem as they were going to be closely monitored. He had talked to the operators at Stimpson and they were going to be watching the teams closely. He said the 3 options we had were: string chicken wire and poles near the trailer(3); buy a net and move it up and down on poles; get high growth bamboo. That he would have a cost at the next meeting. At this time they talked about the way the tournaments were being handled and it to be noted that Eddie should go over the tournament schedules with the secretary to keep up with the monies coming in. Barney said he might have a report on the golf course at the next meeting. That they haven't given up on it yet. Roy reported he had been in touch with theielephone company about the extra cost that appears on the Adult Recreation Center bill each month, they are to get back in touch with him to see if it had been added by an authorized person.
