Virgin, President, Bert Carr, Trustee, Chas Selhauer, Trustee, D.W. Longfellow, Trustee, M.P. Williams, Clerk Meeting called to order by the President. Meeting was held for the purpose of getting ideas from Mr. W.C. Bock, Engineer, for the village, regarding the pipes and ect he suggested to the council to use lead pipe to the curb and a ¾ inch should be used. He also suggested that all property holders should pay for pipe from center of street which would be fair as pipe is not in center of street. City should charge each property holder for pipe to curb. It was decided that there should be fixed rate on water. It was also suggested city should have a tapping machine for tapping mains. This machine should be in charge of clerk and if anyone wants to connect with main they must fill out an application and get a permit from the village council or clerk in order to use machine. It was suggested by Mr. Virgin a value on street West of lumber yard to put in so as to test Mains. Motion made by Virgin to disregard the proposition – which A. Jongeboard and Gaye Shannon made in regard to changing sidewalk along the Babcok Building from post office down the proposition was that they wanted to pave all the way up to Babcock Building.
