Bjorum absent. Mayor Crever read aloud a letter from councilwoman Pam Bjorum, dated January 3, 1974, wherin she stated it had become impossible for her to continue on the city council, and therefore was resigning. Motion made by Leroux, seconded by Lease to accept resignation of Pam Bjorum as councilman of Ward III. Motion carried. The rest of the council will now look for a third ward council man or woman to replace Mrs. Bjorum. Minutes of the January 7th meeting were reviewed, and clerk Burkard reported there were two corrections to the claims of that date; #13 should be $87.46, not $$747.30, and #21 should be $ 396.30, not $397.30. The new total is $$38,196.28, not y$38,857.18. Marvin LaValle stated the motion regarding the First State Bank should have the word "sufficient" inserted to replace "substantial" . Attorney Johnson stated the "and" in Signe E. and Signe Lee Sadowske should be changed to "or", as this person was known by two names, and the "p" in "Thompson" should be left out of Luvern Thompson & Grangers. Motion made by Crever, seconded by LaValle to approve minutes as cor- rected. Motion carried. The claims for payment were reviewed next, and Don Lease asked it the bill from Washington County was for one month only, which it was. He also questioned the bill from Walter Stoltzman dump. Clerk Burkard said >162.00 of the bill was for hauling George King's house remains to the dump, and he wondered if this should be certified to the county auditor for collection. LaValle and Leroux thought the bill should be sent to the estate first. Motion made by Leroux, seconded by LaValle to send a letter to the George King Estate, notifying them of the bill for $162.00 for the removal of the remains of George King's house to the Stoltzman dump. This payment should be paid within sixty (60) days from their receipt of notice, or it will be certified to the county auditor for collection. Motion carried.

They stated their agency was a social service type agency dealing in family problems, drug and al- cohol problems. They have a professional staff of counselors, and about thirty volunteer counselors. They have a teen drop in center, and a job placement center. The Police chief stated they prefer to keep as many young people as possible out of the criminal justice system, and thus refer them to the Bureau for help. It was stated that some resi- dents of Hugo are receiving help from the Bureau at the present time. The Bureau would like approximately $?2000.00 from Hugo to help them keep on with their valuable program.
