Lewis came before the Council stating that taking out a dance <br />license every month made it rather incoveneitn for them and they wanted to know if <br />a license could not be issued to them for one year.

Nelson came before the Council in behalf of H.H. Meyers, asking the Clerk to <br />write Mr. Lester Rootes about having his lot, that is next to Mr. Meyers property, <br />cleaned up. The Clerk was instructed to write Mr. Rootes about this matter. <br /> <br />A. Middelstadt and M. Nelson were asked for an estimate of the cost of cub and sidewalk providing <br />the Council would make up a project and have the work done by relief labor. They stated the <br />maximum cost would be 17 cents a running ft. for curb and 8 cents a sq. foot for sidewalk. <br /> <br />Mr. and Mrs. Harry Anderson came before the Council asking for a fence along the west line of <br />their property to keep swimmers from trespassing on their land. A motion was made by Wm. <br />Greupner second by Geo Cornelius and carried to have Mr. Clements put up this fence. <br /> <br />Chas Bade being present apoke about the back lot of Mrs. Folsoms property saying that if it could <br />be purchased at a reasonable figure. It would be possible to make the swimming pool larger and also <br />have a bathhouse built. He thought the property could be bought for about $25.00 and he was quite <br />sure the Commcial Club would donate $100.00 and the Community Club $50.00 which would leave <br />only $100.00 for the Village to spend for the land. It was the council’s opinion that they would be in <br />favor of this if it could be carried out as planned. <br /> <br />Chas Nelson asked for a 110 wire to be put in the pump house as the 220 there now is dangerous. A <br />motion was made by Geo Cornelius seconded by Wm Greupner and carried to have these wires <br />installed. <br /> <br />Now that the Village Park is planted with a lot of shrubbery it is more work than Mr. Nelson can <br />take care of. Donald Davis reported that Mr. Keays would take care of it for $10.00 a month. A <br /> <br />
