NTinutes of the meeting of the equalization Board on Tax Assessments
held on September 18, 1956 as well as minutes of the regular monthly

approved on Motion of Comm. Breckenridge, seconded by Comm. ti~eber and
the affirmative votes of Gomm. Breckenridge, Eyp el, Hertwig, Noble and
uVeber.
Because of the bad mosquito condition there was much discussion about
the failure of the owners of the tract known as Delray-by-the-SeayEo
continue with the grading and filling of the tract. Comm. Noble moved
that the matter be referred to the Town Attorney to see what steps can
be taken to force some remedial action and that Comm. Hertwig write a
letter to the owners to see if they cannot be brought to see the wisdom
of acting without compulsion. Comm. Breckenridge seconded the motion
and it was adopted by the affirmative votes of Comm. Breckenridge, I,°ypel,
Hertwig, Noble and tNeber.
By general agreement it was decided that Comm. Hertwig should talk with
the owners of Delray-by-the-Sea and request removal of the improperly
located signs of BAD~R PROP~RTI~S INC. from the construction shacks now
on the property.
By general agreement Comm. Hertwig was directed to lower the pressure
on the water-mains to lessen the danger of another leak being caused
like the one, just repaired at the east end of the canal crossing. There
was discussion about ,the seriousness of that recent break in the water
main and the members of the commission examined the section of the pipe
which had been taken out. By general agreement it was decided that a
committee of the Commissioners take the section of pipe to the Town
~n.gineer~s office and discuss the matter of the failure with him. The
cost to the Town of repairing the leakin joint is represented by a bill
from Howard Lee Cromer to the amount of 1,914.65 of which X1,489.50
is the charge of Powell Brothers for the use of floating equipment,
divers and related work. Payment of the bill is temporarily withheld.
Comm. tiVeber brought up the question of the usual misunderstandings
arising from the signs which were placed this summer at the North and
south Town limits. By General agreement it was decided that the signs
had served their purpose for the time being and that they could and
should be removed and stored for safe keeping.
