Harstad in the amount of $4,585.00. 4 Ayes <br />Administrator Achen said it has been a long time since Well House #2 <br />was constructed and it may be tenuous to pursue a lawsuit for damages <br />based upon the original contract. <br />Engineer Comstock said there may be some reason to believe that the <br />break in the floor that occurred a few years ago might be a cause <br />in this incident. He said John Bearden has been checking into this. <br />Mayor Johnson instructed Administrator Achen to check and explore <br />if there can be a claim made against the contractor that laid the <br />original pipe for the well house. <br />Administrator Achen announced that a hearing would have to be set <br />for Projects 1973 -5 and 1974 -1 in order to certify unpaid assess- <br />ments to the County this fall to be included on 1976 tax rolls. <br />MSP (Johnson - Pickar) to set assessment hearing for Project 1974 -1 <br />(Mustang Drive extension) for September 8, 1975 at 8 :30 p.m. <br />
