Hawkins said. “I don't think we should schedule it any earlier.” The council members agreed on these dates.
There was a brief discussion, prompted by treasurer Brad Fisher, about the rising electric rates. “This is one of our major expenses," said Fisher. “Maybe we should modify our street lights somehow.”
Councilwoman Hawkins objected to any cutback in town lighting and the council members agreed to consider economies in town lighting.
Hawkins reported that she might be able to have some free work done for the town by public-spirited residents.
“If we can find people to make the repairs and repaint, we can certainly afford the hardware to fix the town signs,” Hawkins said. The other town council members agreed.
Hawkins also mentioned that the sign for the town hall had not been installed and that the town could use some more attractive trash barrels.
“Everybody always mentions what a beautiful little town we have,” she said. “They always ask me about our handsome mayor and his prize bulls...”
“Now flattery will get you nowhere, Dorothy,”1 Miller said. "What is it you *ant?”
"We could get some wooden barrels, like whiskey barrels," Hawkins said. “They’d look a lot better."
Fisher suggested that the council get estimates for wooden barrel trash bag holders and offered to bring in some catalogs sp the council could see wh^t was available.
"Let’s see what we can afford next time." Miller said. “I do appreciate you mentioning my bulls, Dorothy.”
Fisher told the council that the Boy Scouts had offered to do some public service work around town and suggested that they clean out the lot beside the town hall.
After a motion to pat the bills, the council adjourned on a motion by Hawkins.
