Cool Plan for Ice Cubes To Save Money in Gables

Keeping drinks cool for employes proved to be expensive, so the City Commission has decided to go into the ice cube making business. Commissioners have authorized the transfer of $4,000 from the Working Capital Fund to finance the purchase of three ice making units. Total cost is $6,500. City Manager L. W. Robinson Jr. said that cost of making the ice cubes will be reduced from 86 cents per 100 pounds to 10 cents by purchasing the machines rather than renting them. The machines will be located at the incinerator, Granada and Biltmore Golf Courses. The cubes will cool water containers used by golf course and trash pickup crews.

More & More Parking Tickets

Traffic tickets issued to Gableites for violations continue to drop off but parking tickets are up, according to statistics released by the Metro Court. Only 46 traffic tickets were issued in July, compared to 86 in July of 1960. Conversely, 3,753 parking tickets were issued, compared to 2,089 the year before. Revenue jumped from $7,129 to $10,705 in the same period.
