<br />VILLAGE OF ELK RIVER COUNCIL MEETING <br />December 1, 1952 <br /> <br />A regular meeting was held at the Municipal Building on Dec 1, 1952. <br /> <br />Members present: <br /> E.A. Parent, Mayor; Harry Dow, Dan Bailey, R.A. Ryding, Trustees; H.A. Briggs, <br />Clerk <br /> <br />The meeting was called to order by Mayor Parent. The minutes of the last meeting were read and <br />approved. <br /> <br />Earl Hettrick was present and mentioned certain repairs necessary at the Municipal Liquor. The <br />council agreed to give the matter later consideration. <br /> <br />Supt. R.W. Handke requested that the council do something about snow removal from sidewalks as <br />the school children are forced to walk in the streets where walks are not shoveled off which creates a <br />dangerous situation. The clerk was instructed to have a notice published in the local paper stating <br />that snow must be removed from walks 24 hours after a storm or the work will be done by the <br />village and the expense charged to the property owner. <br /> <br />A motion was made by Bailey and seconded by Briggs to make the following appointments of <br />members on the Library Board: <br />Robert Hastings to fill vacancy caused by resignation of Harvey Lindberg. Rev. D.B. Gilbertson, <br />Mrs. H.J. Pfeiffer, Irene Johnson. Motion carried. <br /> <br />Frank Dreissig, Frank Nickerson and Vernon Hettrick asked if something could be done about <br />snow removal from State Highway.
