Proceedings of --Board of Commissioners City of Paducah May 16, 1950
WHEREAS, under letter of the said Roy N. Vance, dated March 1, 1950, the city was
further notified that said franchise holder had selected as a site for the disposal of
garbage and rubbish the two tracts of land referred to in said letter, one being the sam
property conveyed to Charlie Hopkins and Hollis Hopkins by L. A. Albritton by dead dated
April 17, 1916 and recorded in Deed Book 112, page 15 in said Clerk's office; and also
the selection of another sire, being that tract of land conveyed by Mayme K. Wheeler and
Charles K. 'Sheeler to A. W. 'lets, Horace Mills and Tam A. Mills by deed dated May 11, 19i ,
and recorded in Deed Book 63, page 221 in said Clerk's office; and
WHEREAS, under date of March 7, 1950, the Board of Commissioners authorized the mayor
to notify the said R.A.Bridgwater that none of said sites so selected would be approved;
and
WHEREAS, in his letter of march 20, 1950, the said Roy N. Vance has explained why
the use of a dumping site within the city would be impractical if not altogether impossi-
ble for use by reason of the lack of available dirt for covering garbage and rubbish, an
it appears that the selection of a site beyond the corporate limits should be approved
for this reason;
I therefore move that the Board of Commissioners rescind the action taken at the
meeting of March 7 when the Mayor was directed to notify the franchise holder that the
above mentioned sites were not approved, and that all of said sites referred to in the
aforesaid two letters written by thesaid Roy N. Vance be approved as sites for use by th
