The subject of the Park and Playground Ordinance was <br />discussed by the council and tabled until the next council meeting. <br />The subject of the liquor applications was discussed at length <br />by the council which resolved into a motion by Hodges, seconded by <br />Crane that all liquor applications received and processed by June 1, <br />1960 be considered at a council meeting on June 2. Hodges, Crane and <br />Malvin, aye; Christensen and Smith, no; motion carried.

He stated that the water measured prior to the meeting was <br />found to be at a depth in some plates of .3 of a foot to 2 feet deep. <br />He stated the two alternatives were investigated for drainage of this <br />area. One was the possibility of installing a connecting line from <br />the pond to the existing line at Quincy and Bronson assuming that it <br />is an 8 inch line. Also the beehive catch basin at the pond and a <br />manhole at Bronson Drive and the connecting line from the manhole to <br />the existing line at Quincy and Bronson would entail one manhole and <br />590 feet of 8 inch reinforced concrete pipe or something similar. He <br />stated that the cost of the installation would be approximately <br />$4,225.00 plus a 105'0 contingency factor or a total of 34,647.50. A <br />21 inch reinforced concrete pipe would cost 34,815.00 plus a 1050 <br />contingency factor or a total of $5,296.50. The council stated that <br />they would consider such alternatives and try and arrange a meeting <br />with Mr. Groberg in the very near future. <br />
