<br />VILLAGE OF ELK RIVER COUNCIL MEETING <br />August 6, 1962 <br /> <br />The regular meeting of the Elk River Village Council was held at the Village Hall on Aug 6, 1962 <br />with all members present. <br /> <br />Supt. Parker was present at the meeting. The school board asked to have School Street lowered on <br />account of the school sidewalk and curb. The council agreed to lower School Street two feet and <br />have County do the same on Proctor Avenue. <br /> <br />Mr. Swanson who works with Wm Mills was present and showed tentative plans for several possible <br />storm sewer projects. Nothing was done at this meeting. <br /> <br />Dean Bailey met with the Council. He wants sewer service at the Bailey Feed Mill as he has been <br />assessed for the sewer for several years. It was not practical to put in the sewer for the reason that <br />the cost would be prohibitive. The Council will give the matter consideration. <br /> <br />Upon motion by Larson and second by Kemper the Council accepted a preliminary plat of <br />development being made by Fullerton Lumber Co. <br /> <br />Gene Hoffman made application for an on and off beer license at the Tip Top Café. A motion was <br />made by Larson and seconded by Briggs to grant license to Gene Hoffman starting Aug 10, 1962. <br />Motion carried. <br /> <br />James Wirtz was present. He complained that the sewer was not brought up to the property line at <br />his place which caused him extra digging. He thinks he should be recompensed for his extra work. <br />Council will ask engineer Mills about this. <br /> <br />Attorney MacGibbon reported that our liquor store is being sued for $900,000.00 along with a <br />number of other liquor stores. <br /> <br />The clerk was asked to send bills for sewer connections to St. Clair Oil Station, Galloti Bros. and <br />Mill-House. <br /> <br />Trustee Kemper presented the following resolution and moved its adoption: <br /> <br />Resolved that for the reason that the highway bridge over the Mississippi River at Elk River on <br />Highway 101 is of vital importance to business places in Elk River, farmers in the vicinity, the Elk <br />River School District, the Elk River Fire Department and various truckers, <br /> <br />The Elk River Village Council respectfully petitions the State Highway Department to put this <br />bridge in safe condition for not less than eight tons gross weight at the very earliest possible date. <br /> <br />The foregoing resolution seconded by Trustee Meyer and passed all voting in favor. <br /> <br />The following bills were approved: <br />Hetrick’s Station – gas and oil 16.75 <br /> <br />
