and County Engineer T.C.Pitchford concerning the present high water in Lake Monroe and what
effect the fill at each end of the railroad bridge at the mouth of the lake has upon the water
level remaining high.
After considerable discussion, Commissioner Newman moved that this matter be taken up

see what steps can be taken toward lessening the danger.

of Sanford would be interested in going into the proposition of disposing of the Municipal
Water Plant.
Commissioner Leffler moved that Mr Tarpley be notified that the City is not prepared

Superintendent of Streets Moughton was next instructed to clear away all shrubbery on
Parkways at intersections where such shrubbery interferes with clear view of approaching traf-
fic at such intersections.
Mr. Linton E.Allen, President of the Sanford Atlantic National Bank next appeared before
Commission and requested a revision of the interest rates paid on City Deposits on the grounds
that due to the fact that City deposits are protected almost entirely with Government Bonds,
that Government Securities are at present bringing a very low rate of interest, and that a lar
reserve is required to be kept in the Federal Reserve Bank, upon which the Bank is paid no
interest, the Bank is losing money under the present schedule of interest payments to the City.
After considerable discussion, Commissioner Miller offered the motion that the rate of
interest on City deposits be Two Per cent in all accounts, interest to be computed Quarterly
on average daily balances; that a free balance of Twenty per cent of the total deposits be al-
lowed upon which no interest will be required, provided, however, that this'f ree balance will
at no time exdeed 030,000.00 , and that this schedule of interest payments be effective for the
period from April 1st, 1930 to September 30, 1930-
The foregoing motion was seconded by Commissioner Leffler and carried.
