Tar. Bowen submitted in addition to the letter, an estimated
budget of expenditures which was carefully Bane over by the
Board. Trustee 'Macklin moved that the Board approve payment
of $5,000.00 from the Music and Promotion fund to the American
Legion Committee as requested and an amendment was offered
and approved providing that the Board guarantee to honor bills
approved by the Celebration Committee up to and not exceeding
$5,000.00, same to be paid from the Music and Promotion fund
upon demands filed with the City Clerk by warrents on the City
Treasurer. The motion was read as amended and seconded by
Trustee Drew who called for a roll call on the question. The
motion was carried by the following vote:
Ayes: Trustees Wharton, Macklin, Drew, Ridenour.
Noes: Trustee Boster.
Absent: None .
Trustee Drew stated that he would like very much to see this
action unanimous in view of the fact that the Board of Trustee
prior to the City Election had pledged their unanimous support
to the Armistice Day- Celebration and that in as much as it
involved not only a patriotic duty, it also applied to civic
pride and that he ,'would dislike very much to have the word go
out in the county that the entire Board was not behind the celb-
bration. Trustee Boster stated that he approved of the celebra-
tion but did not approve of some of the amounts shown on the
budget and did not believe that it would require 05,000.00.
The President informed him that the motion as put provided that
the bills would be paid for any amount under $5,000.00 and in
his judgment this should eliminate such an objection. This '
having been explained to the satisfaction of Trustee Boster
he expressed a de'si re to change his vote. Trustee Drew, second-
ed by Trustee Macklin moved that the motion be reconsidered and
the Clerk instructed to call the roll. The vote was as follows.
Ayes: Trustees GVTharton, Macklin, Boster, Drew, Ridenour.
Noes: None
Absent: None .
