the raft after some discussion about the swimming pool a motion was made by G.A. Bailey
seconded by G.A. Bailey to buy two life preservers and have two new signs made telling about the
20 ft drop off and also to buy ropes to put around the boat. Motion carred.
Mrs. Ida Burgoyne came before the Council to see if there was any way she could get a dance permit
to operate dances. It was decided not to grant any dance permits at the present time for the reason
that in the past it had caused so much disturbances.
L.G. Nelson was also present and stated that the five year contract between his company and the
Village in regards to the street lights and pumpking rates expired at this time and asked that the
Council pass another resolution for another five year contract. It was decided to table this matter
until the next meeting.
Ed Belauger and Ernest Schwaubeck reported that people were dumping garbage on the property
next to theirs where Mrs. Nels Nelson formally lived. This garbage has caused such a terrible odor
they felt they were forced to complain. The clerk was instructed to see Dr. Rolhlkee, Health officer
and have him take care of this matter.
Gene Glidden was present and requested the Council to buy a pull____ which he thought was very
necessary for any Village to have. The matter was turned over to L.G. Nelson and Geo Cornelius to
investigate while they are attending the firemens convention at Sauk Centre and have their report
back at the next firemens meeting.
