He there- upon edvised the $30 per month rental increase, in which Mr. Rob- ertson concurred to form a majority of the arbitration board. Not too well pleased with the de- cision, but nevertheless forced to accept it, the Council moved for some further return from the dock property by authorizing Mayor Ern- est Parsons to take up with the Northland Transportation Company a proposal that, in lieu of painting the dock, as the agreement provides the lessee shall do every five years, the Northland company should re- mit the cost of painting to the City the amount to be paid to be set by estimates by at least two painting contractors. It was explained that no alum- inum paint is available with which to paint the property and that paint- ing is not at present needed any- way.
