T~fa,yor I;ndress then asked for a report from the Safety and Service Committee. Mr. Strater said that his committee had gone over the blasting ordinance and they were rather confused. There was much in this ordinance that pertained to engineering acts beyond their scope. He then advised gnat he was turning this ordinance over to Mr. Bdelman to delete those parts not pertaining to any function of village activities. Mr. Strater then brought out the fact that our service department was in need of a cinder spreader. He said that cinders and salt were being shoveled and spread by hand and this was too slow and tedious for our present traffic and congested conditions. Zt was the opinion of the Committee that much more could be accomplished with a cinder spreader that would add to the safety of our streets, and as such a machine could be purchased for around X255.00, the committee recommended its purciia.se. Mr. Strater- said that a super deluxe model could be obtained for ~$~.50.00, but could see no need for -something as super as this. Mr. Sra~anson brought up the fact that we have no place to keep any machinery obtained for the service department and questioned whether or not we should tape steps to obtain a building first. Council talked considerably on the matter but came to no conclusions and Mr. Oatess, seconded by Mr. Swanson, then introduced Resolution No. 308 entitled, rrA Resolution Authorizing the Purchase of a Salt and Cinder Spreader", which resolution was read to Council. _ • Tt was moved by Mr, Taylor, seconded by Mr. beard, that the rules of law requiring a resolution to be read on three separate occasions be suspended. 1.
