CITY OF STOCKBRIDGE
HENRY COUNTY, GEORGIA AUGUST 14, 1933

Minutes of the call meeting of the City Council of the City of Stockbridge held Monday night Aug. 14th with
the following members present: R. E. Lee, Mayor; Councilmen W. C. Crumbley, A. P. Ward, A. T. Wilson, W.
L. Wyatt.

After reading the minutes of the call meeting held Monday night July 24th, a motion was made by A. T. Wilson
and 2nd by W. C. Crumbley and carried by vote of Council to adopt minutes as read.

On a motion from A. P. Ward and 2nd by W. L. Wyatt, Council voted to pay Norris Bowen $1.00 per day for
use of wagon to haul garbage and trash each Friday.

Completing the new business for this meeting, the attention of Council was turned to unfinished business,
which was the City Hall proposal. Having been discussed at several previous meetings, each member of
Council was familiar with Mr. Clark's Proposition, but for the benefit of all concerned, the Proposition was re-
read. Mr. Clark's Proposal to the City was as follows: To erect a two story building on the southeast corner
of Berry Street at Jonesboro Street and go 50/50 with the City, in the cost of the building. When completed,
the upper story of the building would be deeded to the City of Stockbridge for a City Hall and the bottom story
would be the property of Mr. Clark. The size of the building and the material to be used shall be determined
by the City Council and Mr. Clark.

After carefully studying this Proposition and a check-up on the City's finances, a motion was made by A. P.
Ward and 2nd by W. C. Crumbley to except (accept) Mr. Clark's Proposition. The vote on this motion was
unanimous in favor of it. The Clerk was instructed to notify Mr. Clark of this action so work on the project
could be started as quickly as possible.

Completing the business for this meeting, Council was adjourned until next meeting.

W. L. Wyatt, Clerk
