to prolide a lighting system at Attucks School Football Field.
Commissioner Houston stated that he thought this was a City of
Hollywood baby, that we would soon have a new school here and
we are going to have to take care of it. We may have to do some
begging too. In the first place, the City of Hollywood traded
this improvement for a park these people already had. Hollywood
kids will be coming here to our school as soon as it is finished, -
we have turned down other schools when they have requested funds
for uniforms and such.
Mayor Eby stated that our kids go to South Broward High School,
and we did not give them any thing toward the swimming pool or
uniforms, and he did not know whether it was the right thing
to do or not, that other cities and groups donated to them.
Commissioner McMillan ptated that he was going to be out of town
for the next meeting, but that he would like to cast his vote
now to give up to $500.00 toward lights for the ball field at
' Attucks School Football Field.
Mayor Eby stated that this matter would be tabled until 5:00
P.M., Monday, April 14, for further study.
There being no further business, on motion and vote, the meet-
ing adjourned.
