"V" plow ~bich was quote on, and that he should report back to
the Council at the next meeting.
Bly reported that Mr. Rondorf had been advised that the type of
tile which he had suggested be used for taking care of the
water condition in the road beside the tin shed would not be
suitable according to the best advice of Mr. Walter Madsen,
but rather a perferated galvanized culvert should be installed;
and since this would cost considerably more than the tile Mr.
Rondorf had agreed to pa~ $25.00 toward, that some additional
arrangement would have to be made before the Village would go
ahead on the correction of this condition.
On motion duly made, seconded, and carried unanimously, the
meeting was adjourned at 10:00 P.M. '

Trustee Pierce seconded the resolution and the vote in favor
stood five Yeas and no Nays.
Bly Offered the following resolution and moved its adoption:
RESOLVED that all warrants to be paid from Village Funds be
signed by the following named officers of the Village: William I.
Davis, President of the Council, or in his absence Edward Behmler,
Carsten D. Leikvold, Village Manager, and Louise Huestis, Treasurer.
With a second by Pierce, the vote in favor of the resolu-
tion stood five Yeas and no Nays.
Mr. Glen June, Chairman of the Parking Lot Committee of the
Mound Chambsr of Commerce, was heard. He stated that the Chamber
of Commerce was interested in working out a plan whereby the
paved streets could be swept or cleaned of surface dirt regularly,
and suggested that it should be done every Thursday. He had
learned from Thorvald Jarvig, a member of the St. Louis Park
Council, that Mound could rent a street sweeper from that Village
for a rental charge of $12.00 per hour. It was also recommended
that an ordinance be adopted which would prohibit the scattering
of dirt from overloaded trucks hauling through the Village. The
Council was in agreement that the Village Manager should give
t ought to some means for keeping the paved streets clean, but
that action should be postponed until after the surfacing pro-
Jects presently underway and to be undertaken later this month,
had been finally completed.
The trash can purchase to be 'made by the Chamber of Commerce,
was outlined by Mr. June, and the Mayor stated that he felt sure
that the Village would assume responsibility for removing the
trash at regular intervals.
A letter signed bv Mr. J. M. Smith, as Chairman of the Child
Welfare Committee, of the Minnetonka Post No. 398, American
Legion, was read. The general tone of the letter complained of
lack of enforcement of traffic laws and need for better protec-
tion of school children using our streets.
This letter brought a general discussion of our Police pro-
tection, hours of duty, and possible means for improving traffic
control. Mr. June being asked, stated that the businessmen would
like twenty-four hour police protection. Trustee Behmler stated
that in his opinion it was more important to have a full time day
police officer on duty as well as part of the night coverage, and
that the night hours might be staggered in such a way that the
general public would not know Just when to expect officers to be
on duty. No decision was made, but that the matter should be
left for the recommendation of the Village Manager.
The question of action relating to a continuation of rent
control was again brought up for consideration. The Council took
no action and unless some resolution is passed before September
30th, the control will cease.

· The matter :ef the:pe$i~i0nt.~elatingi.~o the operations of~
Casino, Inc., was brought up for consideration. No report had
been made by either Casino, Inc., or any of the signers of the
petition, however, Mr. Pierce reported that Mr. Guy had told him
that he had contacted several of the signers, and he hoped for
a satisfactory solution of the matters. The question was tabled
pending information as to the facts as to whether or not the
petitioners had in fact reached an agreeable understanding with
Casino, Inc.
Bly stated that representatives should be appointed to at-
tend meetings of the Hennepin County League of Municipalities
on Rural Hennepin Assessments. He suggested that the assessor,
Herbert G. Miller, Mr. Henry Martin, one of the council members,
and possibly Mr. Leikvold, should be appointed in order that our
efforts should be co-ordinated with these groups and proper ac-
tion be taken before the State Tax Co~m~issioner.
An estimate was submitted covering the necessary, repairs to
the Police Car. It was the general agreement that repairs in
this large amoun~ would not be advisable and that it would be
better to obtain bids for a new PoliCe Car. The matter was
tabled for future recommendation from the Village Manager. It
was mentioned that it would be necessary to trade in the Chevro-
let pickup truck and advertise for bids for a replacement.
A petition signed by M. J. Hafermann, H. A. Lantz and Minna
M. Lantz, requesting permission to park a house trailer on Lot
#24, rearrangement of Lots i and 34, Skarp & Lindquist addition
to Mound, was presented. The fact that this house trailer is
located on commercially zoned property and, under the zoning
ordinance the Council could grant permission, was considered.
The matter was tabled pending the receipt of more information as
to the actual owner of this trailer, it being the opinion that
none of the signers of the petition did actually own the trailer.
