Real Estate . He would like to know if bids were still being accepted? Mayor Eby advised Mr. Pisculli that all bids were closed at ' noon February 28, as advertised. That the only way we could accept bids now, would be to readvertise. Commissioner McMillan stated that we were not in a very good position to fight mosquitoes, that he would like to see about ' getting some information on fogging equipment, as he would hate to see us get a lot of mosquitoes and no way to fight them. That he understood Hollywood purchased some new equip- ment last year that was very successful. Commissioner Houston stated that he heard a lot about mosqui- toes during the last campaign. That before he went away on August 5 for a vacation he went to Hollywood to see a machine demonstrated. That he spent about four hours one afternoon out in the east marsh and the mosquitoes nearly ate him up watching the machine demonstrated. Commissioner McMillan stated that he was told there was a demonstration made here, and the man was told we did not need any equipment. I would like to see some one take this under consideration and see what can be done. That he had heard there was a new spray, which is made from a powder and water, and it settles rather than rises, and kills the mosquitoes in grass and underbrush. Mayor Eby asked City Manager Malley if he knew anything about JIM the equipment that was being used by Hollywood? Mr. Malley suggested that the commissioners meet with Mr. Souder and get his opinion on spraying and what to use. Commissioner Houston stated that as long as there were mosquitoes they were going to fly. That he thought the best solution to the whole thing was to drain and ditch the low lying land, and burn the farm land where all the grass has been killed by the frost. You can kick this grass now and the mosquitoes come out and bite you. We have money in the budget, and I am waiting for some one to show me what the solution is. -4- Commissioner Elkins suggested that City Manager Malley return a report on mosquito control at the next meeting. Commissioner McMillan stated that last year the people across - the track were promised a voting precinct. There was some talk about it before the last election, but because of the time ele- ment involved it could not be done. That he thought it should be done now when there was plenty of time. A motion was made by Commissioner McMillan that an ordinance be drawn establishing a new voting precinct, with boundaries being FEC By on the east, Broward Road on the north, and the ' city limits on the south and west; motion seconded by Commiss- ioner Houston, and the roll being called, the following com- missioners voted: Elkins Yes .

They also requested the passage of a resolution to that effect, if per- mission is granted. The letter was signed by Mr. George Leaird, attorney for the firm. Commissioner Houston suggested a meeting with Mr. Leaird to further explain his request before the passage of a resolution.
