Mrs. Fisher felt another way of promoting interest in our City would be through communication with Denmark since Dania's name means, "Little Denmark", She proposes sending a representative to Denmark -and having them send one here in the interest of bicycling since A they are a bicycling country.

This was an addendum item brought before the commission for the purpose of establishing the rights of this business to operate. • Mr. Milbery voiced his opinion that as long as nobody objected to the original variance and since there was nothing improper about it that a motion should be'made to accept the affidavits as uncontested at this meeting. Commissioner Hertino.made a motion for same, seconded by Commissioner Donly and the motion carried, Building Inspector LittrelI pointed„out that the. license fees from 73/74, 74/75 and 75/76 were never paid and asked if a penalty was due. The answer was that the penalty was waived because of pending decision by the City. The owners were asked to make the necessary improvements .to make their business one that would be attractive and conform to the City's business establishments. Mr. George Hewlett made mention of the fact that Mr. Lewis had done much in aiding derelict vessels in need and assisted with the Police Boat. The Mayor thought this was indeed community minded, especially since he had not been permitted to operate a business and that- some recognition should be given to him in the future. S. Commissioner Donly made a motion. for adopting a resolution authorizing proper officials to prepare an appropriate application for recognition of the City of Dania as a Bicentennial community. Commissioner Berttno seconded the motion and it passed unanimously. June Silvernale brought the commission up to date on activities for the Bicentennial program, She also reminded the commission that they were invited to attend and participate in the Hollywood Eirthday Parade. A donation of $1,000 was made by the Dania Improvement Committee which is sponsored by the Dania Chamber of Commerce, to Commissioner John Kay to be used for preserving one of the oldest buildings in the county - Dania Elementary School. A letter to this effect written by Lillian J. McMillan, Secretary of the Dania Improvement Conmittee. was read to the commission by the `favor. This money is to be used when the remodeling takes place. Mr. looser reported on figures to Bicentennial the Beach, fireworks, and blockdancing. Mr. Eppling, President of Dania Bank, will fund the painting of the fire hydrants. Commissioner Donly made a motion to fund $350.00 including Labor for decals on the police cars. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Bertino and passed unanimously. Mayor Duncanson thought this to be a great way to get the ball rotting since police cars are all over the city and would definitely be a visual way to create attention.
