Moore, a house mover, stated that one month earlier he had been moving a house and the eaves of the house had brushed against a utility pole. His grievance centered around the bills he had received from the Electric Department for repair of the damage caused by the house hitting the pole. He felt that he had been charged for people who had not actually appeared to do any repairs and he thought that he had been charged for too many hours of labor. The total of his bill came to $174.02. Dick Jordan, Robert Tinstman, and Gene Higgins, speaking for the Electric Department explained some of the items on the bill to Mr. Moore. The Council members seemed to think that there had been some misunderstanding as to the extent of the damage and that perhaps the foreman had called out too many employees; however, they expressed confidence in the City employees.
