Carried unanimously. Mr. L Allier asked the Clerk to read the letters from the Assessor in regards to her request for a pay raise from $200 to $300 per month. She had stated that approximately 255 new residences in the Shenandoah and Chamonix plats could be expected over the next 2 years in addition to the regular growth of the Village; this would increase her work load by some 35 %. The water and sewer line assess- ment work would add work also. She spent a minimum of 1 1/2 hours in the assess- ment of each new home and drove approximately 5 miles for each one. She had noted too that all buildings and land must be reassessed both in 1972 and 1973. This was discussed. .Mr. Bohjanen felt that this was only based on estimates and wondered if we might get in trouble by granting the raise if the expected in- crease did not materialize. Mr. Bohjanen moved to authorize the Attorney to get an opinion on the requested raise from the Price and Wage Board by the second meeting in January when it will be on the agenda. Seconded by Mr. Jaworski. Carried unanimously. The Clerk stated that it had cost about $2.18 to photocopy and staple the 66 pages of the revised building code; she assumed that the Council would want a cover on them also. Mr. Bohjanen moved to set the price at $2.50 for each copy of the revised building code. Seconded by Mr. Cardinal. Carried unanimously. After discussion of the cigarette license applications received, Mr. Cardinal moved to grant cigarette licenses to the following applicants: VFW Post #6583, Nathe Brother, Inc., John E.
