the fence with railroad ties as borders. They also dis-
cussed keys to the different areas, a first aid kit(board

up the outside appearance of the pool. Rae Jackson seconded
and motion carried unanimously. The Board also discussed
with them the canopy and decided that a beautilite cover
would work just as well. They asked that we have it up
by the lst of June.
Calvin Hunt was present to discuss the Young Street
recreation facility . He mentioned the work that he had
been doing. That he had cleaned up the bottles and cans,
installed machines and a pool table and informed the guys
that there would be no alcoholic beverages allowed and had
even called the police on guys trying to drink out there.
That he was even having to sleep there to protect his in-
vestment. He asked about the possibility of getting
paint, basketball goals, and swing seats for the swings.
Phil told him he would get the paint for him, that we would
fix the swings and after the board discussed it, they author-
ized buying two basketball goals because they wanted to see
if they would last, that past experience has shown that
as soon as anything put down there they tear it up. That
if the two last then we will consider putting others there.
Phil also advised him that he would get things to him as
soon as he has the time that he doesn't need to make a pest
of himself by calling all the time. Calvin further advised
he was going to have a grand opening and have a band to
get people interested in coming to the facility. The Board
wished him luck.
The bills were approved on motion by Roy Lloyd, seconded by
Rae Jackson and unanimously approved.
There being no further business, meeting was duly adjourned.
