Motion Carried. \Mahlon Sandberg appeared regarding the placing of a sign to advertise his apartments. He stated that the sign was necessary for the renting of his apartments.

He indicated that he would pursue the suggestion. The Mayor announced that the continued hearing on 1967 Improvements was now open. Mr. Charles Kausel presented a petition opposing any improvement of St. Anthony Boulevard West of Silver Lake Road. Mr. Kausel reviewed his objections presented at the June 6, 1967 hearing. Councilman Springer asked if Mr. Kausel has paid for an assessment for street improvement in front of his house. He stated that he had at a Minneapolis address. Mr. Kausel stated he was opposed to any type of improvement on St. Anthony Boulevard and that he felt that the Village should pay for any improvement out of the gen- eral fund as the road was in affect an arterial street. Mr. Beutel , Sunset • Memorial Cemetery, reviewed the reason for the Village taking over St. Anthony Boulevard from the City of Minneapolis Park Board, pointing out the need for access to U.S. 35W. Mr. James McNulty, explained also that both Sunset Memor- ial and Hillside Cemeteries provided the impetus to acquire access to 3514, so that the Village would not be isolated from Highway #36. Mrs. Kausel stated that she felt the property owners should have been notified of the acquisition proposal. It was pointed out that the negotiations were over a several months period and stories were carried in the Village newspaper during that time. Several property owners stated that they felt the Village should pay the cost of the improvement as they made no use of the street and also that it was an arterial street. Mayor O'Connor stated that assessment procedures had been,-.established several years ago and to make any changes would cause inequ- ities. Mr. Hansing, Village engineer, outlined the cost of a proposed overlay as follows : St. Anthony Boulevard, West Silver Lake Road - $3.56 per ft. St. Anthony Boulevard, East Silver Lake Road - $4.48 per assessable ft. On a project basis - $4.02 per front ft. Mayor O'Connor declared the hearing closed and reviewed the proposals.
