Postcards in opposition to the purchase of China Cove were read, as was a letter from Barbara Renard urging that Lots 4 and 8, Block B -33 be included in the proposed purchase. The Mayor called for comment from the floor, and Francis J. Horvath, Chairman of the Park, Beach and Recreation Commission, spoke in opposition to use of the $1.00 assessment on the water meters, urging that an increase in tax rate be used as a source of the necessary money.

In event of the receipt of this fund, it would be possible to remove.the levy from the water bills, he said.
