He said Mr. C1ements had presented an idea to the JCC which they would like to propose to the City or any inter- ested organization who might help to construct a ~ ag strip for the hot rods to take them off the main streets, and they had thought this might be done in conjunction with the proposed landing strip and bullt adja.cent to the airport. Mr. Boles refer &ct to programs which have been presented recently discussing how other cities have been handling the problem of hot rods and drag racing, and the favorable reports on the result. of drag strips which have been built and supervised by the police. He said that while the racing was dangerous on the highways and main streets it I had been found that when the strips were operated under police supervi- sion it kept them off the highways and gave control over the racing and at the same time the rules under which the strip would be operated would J22 provide an incentive for driving carefully on the highways. He said the JCC would like to construct the strip if they had a piece of land. He said they felt they could construct the strip and operate it with control laws and the city' s help, and he was sure the council could see the advan- tage it i1U~ pe2to get them on a contro1le d strip and off Main Street. Mr. Bass asked if they just needed a pe1ce of land. Mr. Boles replied that was all they needed. Mr. Bass suggested turning it over to the Planning Board and ask them to consider the Air Port and Dr€lg" Strip. Mayor Brooks asked if the City would be liable for any damages. Mr. Boles him it was possible for the City to secure insurance if the races to1d+; were supervised. Mr. Vandegriff asked that the Planning Board also provide a place for boat racing. Mayor Brooks referred Mr. Boles and Mr. Clements to the Planning Board with their request for land on which to build a drag strip. Mr. Robinson repres~ tative of the Kiwanis Club told the Council they were carrying on a " get out and vote" campaign and they were working on the county election now and they would work on the City election and said they wished to request the following: 1. The Mayor issue a resolution declaring the week of May 6 as registra- tion week. 2. Publishing the laws giving the qualifications for registration for the City election. 3. That the City Hall be kept open 2 nights and Saturday Afternoon in order to make it easy for people to register. A motion was made by Mr. Miller and seconded by Mr. Walker that the re- quests as stated by Mr. Robinson be adopted by the Council. Vote aye, unanimous. Mr.Claude Jenkins showed the Council a replica of a sign which the McCurley Sigh System had prepared to put on the 9 mile cut- off on High- 90. He told the Council that the traffic count had fallen off and it going to take advertising to get the traffic back on Highway 98. was He said he had asked Mr. McCurley to let him try to get the sign up. He told the council that the cost of erecting the sign, which is 20 ft. by lOO ft., for 5 years, would be $ B500 and he asked the Council fof any help or suggestions they might give him as to how to go about getting the backing necessary to erect the sign. He said he was going to all the towns along the gulf coast in this area which would. be affected by the sign. Mr. Bass told Mr. Jenkings that he thought he would take the proposition to the Chamber of Commerce since the city donated to the Chamber for advertising purposes and that he should also go to- the motel owners meeting which is to be held soon. Mr. Gar,y Lee told the Council that he had noticed a request for bids in the paper for Ford or Chevrolet Special Built Police Cars and that he,  123 as the Pontiac Dealer,would like to put in a bid unless the CiV had some for advertising for a Ford or Chevrolet. reason Mr. Stacy asked I if his company made a special built police car. Mr. Lee answered that they did and he could not bid with the Notice to Bidd@1!e reading as it now does. Mr. Earley told them that the bid read that way because they did not think the city wanted to get a police car out of the ca1ss of Ford or Chevrolet. Mr. Lee said he did not think it was legal to sti- pulate the make of car. Mr. Bass said the City Charter provides that the City Manager can advertise for bids, and, if the City Manager saw fi t to readvertise he felt that the car dealers should talk to him. A motion was made by Mr. Walker and seconded by Mr. Stacy that the City Manager change the advertisment to read any Special Built Police Car or its equal. Vote aye, unanimous. A motion was made by Mr. Bass and seconded by Mr. Walker that the notice be posted in 3 public places in town, if this was legal, and dealers be notified. Vote aye, unanimous.
