~ae council heard the report of Vil!af:;e Engineer Feyder, of
Toltz, Xing & Day,~ with reference to the Dell Street Improvement,
involvfLn[~ the s%~olization of tlae road bed, -in spots, fronting
along Koeh!er's Second Addition, the lengthening of existing
culverts, the relocation of some hydrants and stop-boxes, the
oartial st~_ii~[.htening out of road an~;les, some clearing, and the
laying down of ~ inches of B!ack-~op; all of this at an e~timated
cost of ~43,000.00, with only ~,~00 feet of taxable frontage,
which, in the opinion of the report, was too excessive to be
reasonably considered. The matter was referred to Street
Commissioner Winkel for a scaling down to mere essentials and
a reDort back to the council.
Nei! U, annerud, consulting the council for permission to locate
a trailer house in back of Rich's Barber Shop in the Pardee Bldg.,
was g~ven ~ermission for a period of six months. This on the
motion' '~f.:~B~!F. ~i?inkel, supported by Gene Whlte, and carried by
the council.
Outside of permission to erect sRgns which conform t6 State
Hi~;kway reeuirements, no commitments, were made to Mr. Quist, holding
the Park Concession, until council members coul6 confer with
councilman Pierce, who was absent..
On a motion by White, seconded by Winkel, the council authorized
payment of ~100.00 to the Fire Dept. to cover convention expense.
A resolution with reference to the Park Ave. paving, which should
have 'app-e~red i.n. th.e. minutes of, Hay 93rd, 1949, was placed into
the hands of the clerk for proper a].!oeation.
