Auditor's Subdivision #18~, into a feed sto~e. Since the building and lot were located in the Commercial Zone, a~ recently platted, the council found no reason to interfere with its legitimate use. $. J.

The council assured them that they would be referred to as soon aS things got under way. Nayor Louise Huestls presented the petition of Nrs L. Lohmar requesting permission to cut willow trees along the channel, namely Lot ~8, Auditor~s~Subdivision I ~0. The purpose of the cutting being to get firewood. The council found no objection in such cutting as long as' i~ was done in a uniform and orderly fashion. Upon the presentation of the treasurer's financial report for the month of January, 1948, it was moved by trustee nNewcomb that the same be a~proved and ordered fi~ed. Rondorf supported this motion, the council agreeing. The folloWing applications for Building Permits were presente~ ~ o the council, and permits ordered issued: A.E. Lundstrom, P. W. Uppgaard.
