On moti en duly ma.ci.e and seconded, Mr. C. W. Roe was
directed to procure surety bonds inthe sum of $500.00 each for
himself as Treasurer, for Miss Stella Thompson as Clerk, R. p~
Seaver as TaR Assessor, Russell F. House as Tax Oollector and

eral fund.
Mr. H. C.Brown then stated to the Council that he had re-
ceived an offer~om the J. B. McC~ary Engineering Company to do
all of the engineering work in planning a sewerage system for 'the
Citq of Clermont, and to prepare an estimate of the cost thereof,
and to supervise the construCtion of a sewerage system for a fee
of 4% of the cost of such work; and that he had received an offer
from Mr. Frank F. Boyd of Tampa to do the same work for a fee of
10% of the cost thereof. It was stated that the Eeason why the
fee of the J. B. McCrary Engineering Company was so much lower than
that of Mr, Boyd was that the said J. B. ~Crary Engineering Company
had already done a considerable part of the necessary engineering
work when it prepared plans for paving certain streets and avenues
in this City some two or three years ago.
Upon invitation, Mr. Boyd addressed the Council on the
subject of sewerage.
After lengthy discussion the offer of the said J. B. M6Crary
Engineering Company was, on motion duly made and seconded, acoepted,
and the City Attorney was instruoted to prepare and have exeouted a
proper oontraot.
The president of the Council then stated that the rapid de-
velopment of the City made the burden of the ~ork upon the different
members of the Council quite onerous, and suggested that each of the
standing committees be composed of one member of the Council, who
should assume full responsibiltty for the work, and two other citizens
who should aot in an advisory capacity.
On motion dyJ.y made and secomsd this plan was adopted, and
