TWELVE BECKLEY POST-HERALD, BECKLEY, W. FRIDAY MORNING, JULY 31, 195'.) Only Strong Crooks Need Bother Council May Buy Half-Ton Tables A three-man committee reported to Beckley City Council Tuesday that it had found a weighty solution for its assignment. The three said they found theft- proof picnic tables for use at New River Park. That is, unless there are some awfully strong thieves around. The tables, of concrete, weigh over a half ton each.

Councilmen George Chambers, J. S. Larrick, and Noel Christian reported that a man in Raleigh County makes the steel-reinforced concrete tables. Other than the theft-proof features of the tables, they also are made in such a way that they can be dried off and used immediately after a rain without discomfort to their users. The tables are sprayed with a permanent plastic covering which keeps them from absorbing moisture.

At the request of the committee, council will purchase three of these tables and place them in three existing parks to determine their usefulness and popularity before purchasing a larger number for New River Park. They cost about $50 each, and seat six adults. The tables are round 44 inches in diameter.

City Attorney Truman Sayre informed council during the regular session that a suit against two city patrolmen is now pending in Raleigh County Circuit Court and requested that Warren A. Thornhill in city attorney during the previous administration, be allowed to continue to repre sent the city in the suit.

Sayre explained that his firm is retained by the Raleigh County Sheriff's office, also named a defendant in the suit. Sayre stated Patrolmen Ted Starr and Jess Williams are being sued because a man they lodged in the Raleigh County Jail on a charge of being drunk died there after suffering a stroke. The man was William Gray Clark. Council approved Sayre's request. Council also approved the payment of bonds which are required for members of the Police Department, the mayor, police judge, city attorney, and city recorder.

James Kessinger, acting in behalf of the Chamber of Commerce, requested permissiSn to put up large banners across three streets into the city to welcome miners who will attend the Aug. 22 Tri-County Safety Meeting and Miner's Day observance.

The Board of Education also awarded contracts for both tha gasoline and oil to be used during the coming year. Elk Refining Company waj awarded both contracts after they submitted the, lowest bids.

Other bidders were Pure Oil with the second-lowest bid; Gulf Oil and Esso Standard Oil Co.

Elk bid 43 cents for regular oil in quantities of 1,000 gallons, and 48 cents for detergent oil. The awarding of contracts for lubricants was postponed, and Everett R. Shafer, supervisor of transportation, was directed to look over the bids and study them further. Bids on dispensing equipment for oil were rejected, since savings from the use of such equipment would be insufficent to warrant the expense of purchase and installation.
