Mr. Rosengren reported that a letter from her Attorney to Mrs. Wilhelmy was received advising that he had hired James Kurth to survey her property; this would be done in four to eight weeks; we will just have to wait. Mr, Cardinal noted that he had seen Mr. Arnold Thies who will give us broken cement from two buildings for rip -rap on Peltier Drive..' Mr. L'Allier asked Mr. Rosengren to look at the material. Jr . Rosengren stated that he had been questioned about Holly Drive from 12th Avenue East to Centerville Road; it is full of holes and impassable. He wished to know if it is or is not a Village Road. Mr. Locher stated that he had checked all the records and found nothing on record. Mr. Rosengren noted that the school buses used to go through there. Mr. Cardinal stated that this was because one particular driver had liked to please the kids by driving over the bumps, but she had been suspended be- cause of it. Mr. Rosengren noted that he therefore was not authorized to spend money on the road. Mr. Cardinal stated that everyone along the road has access out, but in nice weather they use the road for a shortcut. Mr. Bohjanen reported that he had had no meetings since the pageant on the 19th. There had been a good crowd; he was gratified that three organizations had cooperated so well to make the occasion a success. They plan to try again, to make the Queen Pageant an annual thing.

Mr. Locher explained that this permit was for Bernard Nass, and that Mr. Nass had gone to court to remove the covenants on the lots which had been uplit in 1951. Mr. L'Allier noted that his had set no precedent. Mr« Locher noted that perhaps all the property owners may like to split their lots in the future; also, the covenants are up Jan. 1, 1975. Mr, Nass had been given Council permission before getting the building permit. Mr. Rosengren stated that there is a house on the corner of Sunset and North Road owned by Dale Gourley, which Mr. Gourley plans to remove. Mr. Rosengren felt that the Village could use this small building for a storage shed; it needs a new floor. He felt that our men could move it.
