He thought it would be better to throw away a temp- orary smaller tank than install a big one since no one knows how the growth pattern will go. He thought it would be feasible on this basis since municipal ownership would better serve the interest of the people concerned. After considerable discussion on the size of the tank, etc., the talk turned to the low water level of the lakes, particularly Reshanau Lake. A letter from the Dept. of Waters, Soils and Minerals (directed to Mr. Bohjanen and turned over to the Council) denying U.S. Lakes Development the right to dredge was read. Several persons in the audience voiced their concern over the low water level. There was also discussion on the possibility of Centerville hooking up with the line going up Hwy. 61. It was decided that the Clerk would contact proper authorities about our concern ower the low water. The discussion returned to the water system. It was remarked that the $500 charge per home to put in the water system was actually cheaper for the developer than putting in wells. Mr. Bohjanen requested a copy of the dredging permit for U.S. Lakes. Mr. Cardinal moved that a letter be written to U.S. Lakes Development asking them if they wish to petition the Village for a hearing for assessments for municipal water. Seconded by W. Jaworski.

L'Allier reiterated some previous statements and suggested that it might be possible to give the developer clear title to the system for, say, 5 years; if he charged each home $1000 for water, then he would have the system paid for and could return the system to the Village for $1.00. This will be discussed later. W. Bohjanen asked Bob Burman about straightening the curve on Birch Street, Mr. Burman stated that it was scheduled to be completed this year; the route is staked out. Some persons thought that the road should follow the lake for scenic purposes.
