City Manager Rolison stated this had been, discussed with the Council informally and it was his recommendation that the house be rented to the new maintenance Superintendent. There were no children and renting the house would render a service to the City as the Paint Shop was at this location, and it would be convenient for the employee.

Rental collected had always been credited to the Water Department Account. It was suggested by the Mayor that it might be well to set this as a separate account for a year or so and use the money later, with possible contributions from other depart- ment sources, to build a paint shop in the Corporation Yard. City Attorney Curries' opinion on this"was that he didn't see how premises could be the property of the Water Department in particular. The City Attorney was to check into this and pre- pare a resolution with the thought in mind that a special fun& would be set up. This was placed on the agenda for the next meeting.
