Meeting August S, 1960 (Continued) <br />b0 <br />The council concurred that the police should exercise their discretion <br />whenever necessary to repair the police vehicle. <br />The question of purchasing a new police vehicle was discussed between <br />the council and the police commission. The council requested the commission <br />to submit specifications for a new police car in order to place bids on a <br />1961 vehicle. Mr. Eickstead, Chairman of the Police Commission, recommended <br />that the village do away with the idea of using a station wagon which is <br />necessary for ambulance service, and purchase a conventional type vehicle. <br />Smith stated that he did not concur with this as the ambulance service <br />supplied by the Police Department had been instrumental in the saving of <br />lives in the village. It was then suggested that specifications for two <br />types of vehicles be submitted to the council for disposition. <br />In line with police activities, Clerk Smith stated that he received <br />a Ball from Mr. Conde, Village Clerk of Spring Lake Park, that the Communist <br />Party would be having a picnic to be held at Spring Lake which is jointly <br />operated by the village of Mounds View and Spring Lake Park.

It was stated that Mr. Hurley is currently running for a <br />legislature position and follows the activities of the Communist Party <br />in order to kocl thi group" in chk.Mr. Conde stated that Spring Lake <br />Park felt it was necessary to have their police watch the Spring Lake Grounds <br />on Sunday August 14+, in order to quell any riotous activities that may well <br />develop should a group of American Legion members be there to pickit the <br />activities of the Communists as has been done in the past. The Spring Laze <br />Park Council felt that the Mounds View Police should also watch this area <br />closely during that day as well. <br />Clerk Smith received a check from Mr. Kenneth Simonson which was made <br />payable to him from the Corning Donahou Company as the Treasurer of the <br />Recreation Committee.
