VILLAGE OF ELK RIVER COUNCIL MEETING
March 7, 1960
A regular meeting was held at the Village Hall on Mar 7, 1960.
Members present:
Henry Johnson, Mayor; August Meyer, R.G. Kemper, Trustees; H.A. Briggs, Clerk
The meeting was called to order by Mayor Johnson. The minutes of previous meetings were read
and approved.
The council was notified some time ago that Mrs. Zella Page had resigned as librarian. A motion was
made by Kemper and seconded by Meyer to accept Mrs. Page’s resignation as of Mar 1, 1960.
Carried.
Motion by Meyer and second by Kemper to employ Mrs. Rosalie Kemp as librarian beginning Mar
1, 1960. Motion carried.
A representative of the National Cash Register Co. was present and showed cuts of a new cash
register for the Liquor Store. The cost for a register with chrome finish would be $1360.00. The
council felt that the plain finish would be all right. It would be necessary to advertise for bids.
A delegation consisting of Archie Larson, David Plude and M.F. Lane were present at the meeting.
They were present at the meeting. They would like to get sewer and water service in the Larson
Development just west of the village limits. It was the opinion of the Council that this section would
have to be annexed to the village before this could be done.
Norman Thompson was present. He would like to know if he could get the work of servicing of the
village police radio. Nothing was done about this at this meeting.
Mr. Olson of Juran and Moody met with the Council in regard to the handling of bonds for the
th
sewer extensions without advertising. A special meeting was called for Mar 14 to consider this
matter. Abe Johnson talked with the council regarding village insurance.
The Clerk was asked to write a letter to the Elk River Fire Department commending them for their
excellent services at the time of the hotel fire and also thanking them for reducing their wages from
$3.00 per hour to $2.00 per for this particular fire.
