Memorandum from Mr. Vaughn E. Wilson, City Attorney was read concerning a charge Retail Merchants was now making to the City for obtaining informa- tion on people now living out of Lubbock (information wanted in order to file suit for personal property taxes). The Commission advised Mr. Matthews to write a letter to Retail Merchants Association asking them to keep their services to the City "free of charge." A claim was filed by Harry E. Gillmore, 2821 Edna Street, for damages to his automobile in the amount of $9.50 caused by crossing a ditch into his property, said ditch being made by City equipment.
