I'~s°® Strater reported that from tI~ minutes of the, last meeting, Council had asked the engineer for plans and specifications for a water main to the northerly. line of the Weisberg property and as this would leave Mr. Danner9s and a few other houses without water, he would lily to see the water line go at least as far as the north end of t'ne. Danner property, because people across the street had also signed the petition but, Mr. Danner was unable•to. Our Engineer reported that the plans and specifications asked for on SOM were held up by the water department because of a difference of opinion as to the size of water main desired. From the engineer's talk it seemed that nothing but an earthquake could move the water department until they had made up their minds. At this point NIr. Edelman gave Council a discourse on petitions and stated that these misunderstandings gretir up over the lack of any description accompanying petitions and that... in the future an exact description of the territory covered should accorrmany the petition. Tt was then moved by Mr. Strategy, seconded by Mr. Taylor, that our engineer prepare plans, specifications.and an estimate of cost of the construction of a water main on SOM Center Road from the northerly line of Highland Road northerly to the North end of the Danner property. Rol]. Call: Ayes -Messrs Swanson, Strater, Taylor, Bead & Oatess. Nam - N®~ Motion carried Mayor Endress then threw Council into an uproar by asking our engineer for his estimate of the cost of paving Trdashington.Park Extension. The cost of X16,000.00 for paving, sidewalk, sewer and curbing for a distance of 270 feet fora 24 foot road and' ~~11,000.00 fora 20 foot road was received by most of Council with mingled emotions. A da.scussion o~ this matter was carried on for a considerable time and Mr. Endress asked Mr. Branson to transmit the information to the school board. Our Engineer, who had been asked to report on .the condition of the T'jayfield Sewer in writing, stated that with the granting of permits by 1~~r. Wieland since the last meeting, any statement from him would be superfluous and any recommendations useless. At this point the Clerk took up the matter of our revamped Zoning maps for the sum of 21.?a..00, saying he thought the price a little out of line for what had been done. Tt was then moved by Mr. Oatess, seconded b-,~ Mr. Strater, that the biL1 be .tabled until Nor.. Ga1l3.more was present and tl~ matter could be discussed. Rol]. Call: Ayes, -Messrs Swanson, Strater, Taylor, Beard & Oatessm Nays -None. Motion carried Ms°® Swanson, getting back to, the Washington Park Extension, said that as the, school trould be closer to Wilson NTi11s Road, he thought the Washington Park entrance would be used only as an entrance to a parking lot for the school, with very little traffic, and questioned the rimed of sidewalks and thought any question of curbing should be considered by the School Board alone. 3.
