MR. CAMUS stated as far as the Merchants group is concerned they will let the City own the decorations. MAYOR SARN asked the City Attorney for a ruling. ATTORNEY CAMPBELL stated we can rent them if we pay a reasonable sum for the rental, and as a rental we never acquire title. We only are entitled to the use for the specified period.

COUNCILMAN McCLURE suggested that the City contribute $1,500.00 to the rental purchase of these ornaments and that the agreement as to storing; putting them up, maintenance; etc. be resolved by a committee appointed by the Mayor with the Committee from the Chamber of C-o m rs,, ATTORNEY CAMPBELL stated this can be an expression c'f the Council's opinion and he will bring in a contract setting forth these particular items.
