take the Engineer's recommendation with the stipulation that a resident in-
spector 'be on the job to see that the main is laid the proper depth. On roll
call vote, all were in favor except Swenson who objected because there was no
guarantee against freezing. The County Highway Department is also objecting

cussion was continued to March 12 after further discussion with the Highway

NEW CONSTRUCTION ON LOTS 47,48 and 49 of Block 3, Crocker's Lakeside Park
There are two homes being constructed on Lots 47, 48 and 49 of Block 3,
Crocker's Lakeside Park. No building permits have been issued. The Building
Inspector explained he knew about them and the intent was they were only going
to dig basements in the fall and would put up the buildings in the sp~ing.
Due to nice weather and availability of workmen, the suRerstructure on one
has been built. Several neighbors were present,protesting the sideyard set-
backs. The following spoke:
Julius Anderson, Lots I & 2, Block 6, Crocker's
Richard Peterson, Lots i & 2, Block 8, Crocker's
John Eiden, Lots 14,15,16, Block 2, Crocker's
Phil Weiland, Lots 30 & 31, Block 2, Crocker's
Mrs. Donna Lugauer, Lots 9 & 10, Block 2, Pembrok~
It was determined that there were three lots divided into two building sites
and there was no infraction on setbacks. Schmidt moved, Regan seconded, and
it was unanimously carried to direct the Building Inspector to enforce the
building ordinance, Section 26.05 requiring building permits, to the fullest
extent.
OUTSIDE "BIFFY" - Eagle Lane
Report has been received that there is an outside pri~,~ located in a shed on
Eagle Lane. The Building Inspector said he would check it out in the morning.
CHARLES HARTMAN PLUMBING
Mr. Hartman and Mr. LeRoy Powell were present in relation to getting a water
meter installed in Mr. Powell's house located on Lots 12 & 13, Block 6, Arden.
Mr. Hartman said the water had been dug in at the same time as the sewer but
Mr. Powell was using water from his well until last week when it gave out. Mr.
Hartman had called the office asking for a meter to be delivered, but was told
no application for a meter had been made, that the owner or a master plumber
would have to come into the office and make application and pay $41.00 for
a meter. Mr. Hartmsn contended the meter should have been paid for when it
was dug into the house, and proceeded to connect the house to water without
a meter. He said the man had six children and we couldn't refuse him water.
He felt because the meter had not been taken out before, it didn't need to
be taken out now. Mr. Powell said he would come into the off~ce at his
earliest convenience, which would be Thursday afternoon, to make application
for a water meter.
Mr. Hartman also wished to be heard further on why he cannot do plumbing in
in the Village of Mound. It was pointed out to him that the Village requires
master plumbers, and that this is supported by the State Health Department.
Mr. Hartman said the Attorney General had said he as a journeyman plumber
could do plumbing. He was told by the Village Attorney that he can do plumb-
ing under a master plumber and if he wished to follow further on this to
produce a letter from the State Health Deoartment.
Regan moved, Schmidt seconded, and it was unanimously carried that the Council
support the Administration on following the ordinances in allowing only
master plumbers registered with the Village to do work in the Village.
