The minutes of last meeting were read and approved.
Mrs. Joe Belanger, Mr and Mrs Wm Belanger came before the Council and stated that they were
down to the State Board of Control in regards to the two Belanger girls that are at Faribault and they
were told the girls could come home for a two weeks vacation providing they had the O.K. of the
Village council. It was decided that the Belangers would have to sign a written agreement that when
the two weeks were up the girls would have to go back to Faribault. They refused to sign the
agreement and said they would see Mr. Davies the next morning.
Mr. LaMontagne, Leo Demare, Chas Bressler, Alfred Brown, Roy Hudson and Fren Darner
residence on Thomas Street were present to discuss about putting in a 4 inch water main on Thomas
Street. It was decided to table this matter for a week or two as the Council would know by then
where the new Highway was going.
L.G. Nelson and Mr. Hanson representing the Fair Board were present and asked for an
appropriation from the Village to help with the expenses of the 4H Fair. A motion was made by
Wm Greupner seconded by G.A. Bailey to grant the Sherburne Co. Agriculture Assoc. One
Hundred and Fifty dollars ($150.00).
Joe Parker said that he wished to take his wife to a doctor in Princeton and asked that the Village
pay the doctor expenses. Mr. Parker was told that the Village would not be able to pay any doctor
outside of the County but would pay for the medicine Mrs. Parker would need for the next 30 days.
R.W. Handke, Ruth Flaherty, Ann Olsen, and L.D. Bailey representing the recreation board were
present and reported that the programs were going along nicely but that they would need some
money to take care of expenses. A motion was made by G.A. Bailey seconded by Geo Cornelius to
allow the recreation board twenty five dollars ($25.00).
Gladys Hulberts case was brought up and it was decided that the clerk write her a letter asking her to
move her furniture from the rooms that the Village are renting from E.R. Halter for the reason that
she is living in St. Cloud now and she could store her furniture much cheaper at another place.
Bids were opened for the seven or eight hundred feet of water main.
Foussa__ Hdwe $82.00 100 ft
Caleys Hdwe $74.00 100 ft
