The subject of the liquor applications was discussed at length
by the council which resolved into a motion by Hodges, seconded by
Crane that all liquor applications received and processed by June 1,
1960 be considered at a council meeting on June 2. Hodges, Crane and
Malvin, aye; Christensen and Smith, no; motion carried. Smith then
pointed out that all applicants for liquor licenses had been given until
May 31, 1960 to submit their applications for license. In view of

for the June 2nd meeting and that under a previous motion concerning
these applications by Mayor Allan Crane, said applicants would be denied
the proper review of their ap;7lication at the June 2nd meeting. In
accordance with this Smith moved and Christensen seconded that any
application received on the last day established by previous motion,

considered for approval at the next regular council meeting at which
all members could be present. Smith, Christensen, Hodges, aye; Crane
and Malvin, no; motion carried.

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