Comm. Hertwig reported that,as directed at a previous r,~eetin~;,
he had discussed with Attorney Byrd the aluestion of lia',~ility,
at the Water Works and whether it would be advisable for the Town
to be protected by insurance. FIe reported l~'tr. Byrd's opinion that
as the T~Tater ~f~Torks were 100 feet in from U S Highway ~1, any per-
son on the Water Works property ~dould obviously be trespassing
and so would hardly be in a position to have any claim against
the Town for anpthing that happened during a trespass. Comm.
HertyTig reported that Attorney Byrd recommended that as an ad-
ditional precaution it would be wise make a general T1postingt~ of
the property .including the pressure tank. The Mayor named himself
and Comm. Dubendorff a committee to carry out the posting thus
recommended by Attorney Byrd. This was done with the unanimous
approval of all five commmissioners present.
On motion of Comm. Smith, seconded by Comm. Heaton and approved by
affirmative votes of all five commissioners present, the meeting.
was recessed to 10:00 A. N. on June 9, 1950.
