Hopkins pressed for more dogs seized and tagged while Tarver noted limited manpower and detailed his efforts. Tarver offered to give up the dog catching job if his $50 monthly pay were cut. The council also extended time for City Cab Stand operator C. R. Fones to improve service and approved sewer system expenditures totaling 158,500 to date. A bid for a new patrol car was opened with Cummings Fence Co. of Beaumont low at 2,098 for fencing around the Woodrow water plant.
