November 21, 1944
Members present: Mayor E. Langford; Councilmen E. E. Brown, R. L. Brown,
C. W. Crawford, M. T. Harrington, J. A. 0rr, G. B. Wilcox; and City Manager
Lloyd D. Smith.
On motion by E. E. Brown, seconded by J. A. Orr, the Council adopted a
resolution accepting the work under the contract between the City and
Collins-Bland Construction Company of Austin, Texas.
On motion by R. L. Brown, seconded by M. T. Harrington, the Council
accepted and approved recommendations from the Zoning Commission relative
to Lots 1 and 2, Block 1, College Hills Estates and certain areas in the
Boyett Addition which were admitted to the City on March 16, 1944 and more
particularly described as followst "That portion of land lying north of the
present city limits of College Station, south of the city limits of
Bryan, east of old Highway 6 and west of the Tauber property."
The Council acknowledged receipt of letter from City Marshal Norwood in
which Mr. Norwood presented a request for an additional $25.00 per month in
salary. The unanimous opinion of the Council was that the present salary
of $150.00 plus $25.00 for car expenses is the limit which the City can
reasonably pay for this position, and Mr. Smith was instructed to notify
Mr. Norwood accordingly.
The question of the City' s care and maintenance of streets adjacent to the
A. & M. Consolidated School was raised by Councilman E. E. Brown, It was
agreed that there was no question about the street along the west boundry of
the school property, but in order that the City might properly maintain
the Circle in front of the High School the Council requested that the
School Board by proper action designate the circle as a city street, or
take such action as may be necessary to secure city care and maintenance.
Mayor Langford reviewed for the Council the conditions ender which Mr.
Smith became Business Manager, then City Manager, and stated that the
second leave of absence of Mr. Smith from the College would expire
December 1, 1944. The unanimous desire of the Council was that Mr. Smith
should continue in his capacity as City Manager and that the City could
ill afford to lose him at this time. In view of the splendid work which
he has done in the past two years in putting the City's affairs on a
sound financial basis, the Council expressed to Mr. Smith its sincere
appreciation and voted to increase his salary to $4,00O$ .00 per year,
effective December 1, 1944.
