Motion by Backlin, second by L'Allier, they be approved as corrected. Motion carried. Treasurer's report was given, with final balance of $4,09 7. 78 plus the $10,000 in securities. Budget report was given by the Clerk. New budget for 1967 is $61,985, with the millrate set at 49.81, which is an approximate figure, subject to the final assessed valuation figure. 1 Clerk reported that a Remington Rand Calculator had been purchased, cost $250, and an electric IBM typewriter for $190, total expenditure $440. Backlin discussed the general road conditions, and moved to have Gotwald inspect and stake the south side of 74th. Second by L;Allier, motion carried. The contractor for 35W will put in a 2' deep ditch, and the fill, at no cost to the village. Backlin read a postcard received complaining about village expense of a street light on Lakeview that burned all day. Northern States Power has been called to have the light checked. The card cid not bear any signature. Since Mr. Thies will not accept a check prior to the harvesting of his corn adjacent to the road, Backlin moved that we have the engineer stake the road, and if the corn picking and the weather cooperate, hopefully the roadwork will be completed before winter. Motion was seconded by L'Allier, motion carried. Gravelling the county line road this fall to allow passage in the spring was discussed, however, as yet no meeting has been set up with the county for them to officially take over maintenance. It was finally decided to table the matter for the time being. It was estimated that 1,000 yards of gravel would be needed to put this road in acceptable condition. Continuing further his investigation toward acqui-ing the Miller property for a park with establishment of a beach, L'Allier reported Mr. Miller had given his consent to take soil test samples. Gotwald and L'Allier will meet in the next few days to take the necessary samples for testing. L'Allier reported he had met with Dave Torgelson, Superintendent of Anoka Parks, and they had visited together the construction starting the road into the Centerville Park. The road should be completed and gravelled yet this fall. Mr. Torgelson had also reported they hoped to have at least 15 to 20 picnic areas in the county by next summer, and to double this amount in the next few years. L'Allier stated he would contact the gas company relative to a gas furnace for the warming house at Lino Park before the next meeting. Locher read a letter from the Vet's Administration relative to the status of the Tom Gower residence, Sunrise Avenue, on which so many complaints had been received. The matter has been discussed with the building inspec- tor, and Locher will answer the letter. Ross reported no Planning and Zoning meeting was held this month, due to lack of a quorum. He also reported that the mill rate for the hospital in 1967 would be 41 mills.
