Regular I~Seeting - April 13, 1960. The Mayor also advised the Council that he had talked to the present occupant of the Henry Meyers home on County Hoad "C" and advised this man that he could not junk cars in his yard; the man is making immediate arrangements to get rid of the cars. Nir. George Datko, 345 Ely Road, asked why the deep vrater hole on Centerville Road across £rom Racine Place cannot be filled in. He was advised by the Council that a previous owner of the property had requested permission to establish a dump there so that he could fill it in but that the neighbors objected to a dump so nothing was done. The Council also explained that the amount of earth fill which would be required for this spot would be extremely expensive and the Council did not feel justified in trying to do anything further because this water hole has been on that location for many more years than anyone can remember. N7r. McCubrey, the llistrict Engineer for the State Highway Department, presented the preliminary plans for that portion of Highway 694 which lies within the Village of Little Canada in the vicinity o£ County Road "D" and Centerville Road. Upon motion by Vitale, seconded by Coenen, it was RESOLVED, that said preliminary plans for the improvement of Trunk Highway Number 390 renumbered Trunk Highway IQumber 35E and Trunk Highway Number 393 renumbered as Trunk Highway Number 694 within the limits of the Village of Little Canada be, and hereby are, approved.

The question was raised about the effect of these plans upon the portion of the Village south of the highway since McMenemy Road is being closed and there will be no way to travel from the main portion of the Village to the portion south of Highway 36 except by Edgerton Street. '1'he plan showed a proposed future bridge at Arkwright Street which would cross above the highway and connect tiaith McMenemy on the north side. Mr. Vitale stated that he was opposed to approving these plans unless this bridge was built now instead of leaving it for the future so no action was taken on these plans and the Council decided to forward its objection and the reasons therefor by means o£ a letter to the Highway Department. Two people who are interested in the Thomas Wenzel property east of the Water Works right-of-way near McMenemy and 36 inquired of the Council as to when the street would be completed leading £rom McMenemy into the ~9enzel Addition. They were advised that the Council does not build streets and that Mr. Wenzel had agreed by written contract entered into at the time he obtained his building permit that he would maintain the street himself and would never ask the Village to maintain it until he had built it up to Village standards of street construction. The entire matter was tabled until an investigation is made by both the Village Attorney and the Village Engineer. 'Phe Village Clerk presented a proposed new plat to be known as "Demont Hills'" which would involve the territory on the south side of Demont Street between the Soo Line tracks on the west and highway No. 35E on the east. Upon motion by Spooner, seconded by Vitale, it was RESOLVED, that the proposed plat be, and is hereby, approved and that the Clerk notify the contracting firm of Rheinben and Husnik, owners o£ the property, that the Council vrill not authorize the issuance of any building permits until the -3-
