Bohjanen moved that fir's. Winter's name be withdrawn from the list of election judges and that the next name on the original list (that of Mrs. Lynn Hansen) be appointed as election judge in her place. Carried unanimously. The Clerk read a letter just received from Gerald Houle Sewer and Trenching of 70 Tart Road, White Bear Lake, who stated that he had done sewer installa- tion work by the hour for Clyde Rehbein and felt that Mr. Rehbein rather than himself was responsible for obtaining the license mad permits. Mr. Locher read Seotion 3 of Ordinance No. 48 and stated that he felt that since Mr. Houle was a subcontractor he was liable for the license and permits. Mr. Jaworski moved that a letter be sent to W. Gerald Houle, along with a copy of Ord. No. 48 explaining that as a subcontractor he was responsible for obtaining proper license and permits. Seconded by Mr. Rosengren. Carried unanimously. Mayor L'Allier requested the Clerk to read various correspondence received in regard to letters sent concerning the speed signing, etc., on Main Street near the Lino Elementary School. (The wording of the letter from the Village was read). Two petitions, one with the wording by Attorney Locher containing 84 names and•one with similar wording, plus a note that speed zoning is necessary by the St. Joseph's School containing 30 names of Parent's Club Members, were read. Portions of letters from Anoka County Administrator, Anoka County Attorney and Anoka County Engineer, were read, each of them mentioning that a State order for setting a speed zone of 40 m.p.h. in the affected area had been given on October 26, 1969. Tne letter from the County Attorney listed the various speed zoning areas given for the length of Hwy. 14 from Hwy. 65 to the East County Line and included the list of priorities on- roadwork adopted in 1968. The lint showed the work on Main•Street to be No. 21 out of 26 jobs. The speed signs as well as a sign stating 'Prepare to Stop' were promised immediately. Letters from the State Highway-Dept. and the Attorney General's office indicated that the order for speed zoning had been issued and that it was up to the County to get the work done; the State has no power to force the County to do such work, however. A letter from the Drifter's Snowmobile Club offering assistance was also read. The Clerk stated that she had received a call from Commissioner, Bob Burman who would be late. Mr. Burman mentioned that a new mat on Hwy. 14 had been started at Hwy. 65; when it is finished, after a 10 day seasoning period, the new pedestrian crossing marks, double yellow lines and "No Passing" signs will be installed. W. Burman offered, if it was wanted, to furnish at his own expense "Slow, Children' signs and to put them up if he were given permission to do so. W. Bohjanen moved to accept W. Burman's offer and to ask him, to do so. Mr. Bohjanen moved to accept W. Burman's offer and to ask him to put them up as soon as possible. Seconded by Mr. Jaworeki. Carried unanimously. Mrs. Leckie stated that the people appreciated all that had been done, but felt that they needed immediate action; also Lino Lakes must enforce the speed limits. W. L'Allier seated that without the sign, we can't enforce the law. At the last police meeting the matter was discussed and the police are working out schedules so that the area can be covered more often. Also the Clerk had contacted the Superintendents of both school districts on the matter of hiring elderly people to police the street crossings. Centennial Schools are willing. Our Attorney has stated that we can expend Village monies for this purpose. We will do something on this by this fall. The matter of County policing for the area had been mentioned to the delegation which bad attended the County Board of Commissioners meeting;•the audience wished to know why we had turned down the offer. Mayor L'Allier explained just what the County offer had amounted to; namely, that the County would have put
