The bath suit ordinance which went into effect a few days ago has been repealed and bathers may wear as much or as little as their fancy permits. In the language of the motion adopted by the board of commissioners, the matter is “left to the their own consciences.”
A special meeting of the board was held Tuesday night for the purpose mainly of adopting the town’s budget for the coming fiscal year and a little other business was transacted. The change in the bath suit ordinance was favored by Commissioners Smith, Parkin and Wheatly. Commissioner Noe opposed repealing the law.
The Mayor and Treasurer were authorized to renew some notes amounting to $25,000.
The Mayor was instructed to take up with State Fire Insurance Commissioner the matter of allowing repairs to buildings owned by R.W. Daniels. B.W. Arthur was elected Commissioner of Navigation for the coming year. D.L. Godwin was also a candidate for the position and received the votes of commissioner Noe and Parkin. Commissioners Smith and Wheatly voted for Arthur, as did also Mayor Thomas.
