138 12/13/71 Mr. Rosengren had checked on a disc sander for the new truck which would cost about $1300 installed. The old sander is a box type, whereas the new one is a spinner and would cover the whole street in one trip. The new truck is equipped to take this type. He thought we could sell the old one for $100. Mr. Rosengren also felt that we should adapt the old one -way plow to the new truck which would cost about $100 to put the Husting hitch on it. Mr. Rosen- gren made a motion to adapt the one way plow from the truck we were trying to sell to the new truck. Seconded by Mr. Cardinal. Carried unanimously. Mr, Rosengren asked the Clerk if she had been contacted by a salesmen on signs for the Hall, and was told no. He said that these were illuminated signs,, aluminum with fiberglass covering, which came in 2'x4' sections, are double faced a quite attractive. The man will probably come to the next meeting and would have some other models to show us. Mr. Rosengren felt that the burning problems were getting worse every day and thought we should establish garbage collection, noting that we have 3 years to do it. Mr. L'Allier stated that we have requested a variance on this burining ban. Mr. Locher stated that the collection could be either private or municipal as long as it was adequate. It was felt that we should wait for figures on how much money would be saved by going to the disc sander before taking any action on it. Mr. Bohjanen stated that he had finalized a meeting with the 2 fire chiefs for next Monday at the Hall at 8 P.M. to evaluate the new lines. He had received the requested figures from the Assessor. Mr. Bohjanen asked if Mr. Myhre had issued a tag on Safeway Movers; Mr. Myhre stated that he had. Mr. Bohjanen stated that he had 2 contacts on tape recorders; neither party could make it tonight, but would like to demonstrate their units and will make a formal contact. Mr. L'Allier asked the Clerk if she had a bid on the unit being used tonight and was told no, that the company, Wahl & Wahl, were compiling prices for a similar unit which uses discs. The discs are much cheaper than cassettes, about 15¢ each. Such a unit has been installed in South St. Paul. Mr. Bohjanen mentioned that 1 of his contacts had a kind of tape recorder that you can play back slow and type every word, and con- dense the meeting down where you can do them in half the time. One other unit has speaker systems for PA. They will contact the Clerk to get on the agenda.
