After discussion, it was decided that a letter should be forwarded to the Chamber stating that the Commission recognizes these problems but pointing out that, due to the lack of durability, plus the cost of materials, we do not feel the expenditure could be justified at this time, also, calling their attention to the signs which have recently been erected in the Elm Street area, directing bathers to the State Beach. Will also advise them that the City has no jurisdiction over the Gas and Electric Company area of the beach and, therefore, could not install the log boom or the fire rings.
