Coulthard appeared before the Board at this time on behalf of Mr. H. W. Polk who bid on Assessment Districts Nos. 100-23 and 100-26. Mr. Coulthard stated it would be in the best interests of the people to award the bids on these two assessment districts to Mr. Polk, as it would be a savings of $15,000.00 on the combined bid. The Mayor Pro Tem then stated it was not possible to award a combined bid to Mr. Polk on Assessment District Nos. 100-23 and 100-26, as you couldn't assess one district to benefit another.

Mr. Gibson, O. W. Westlake, David Farnsworth, George Gremner and Dr. O'Connor of the First Methodist Church appeared before the Board at this time protesting this Assessment District.
