The Clerk informed the Council that three
of the applicants had signed up and paid the required
water connection charge while others had promised tClPay
and have water cut in as soon as the Season started and
work was available. Mr. Baker said it would take from
seven hundred to a thousand feet of 2~inch pipe, at, a
cost of around $175.00, plus labor. The matter wasre:-
ferred to the Water Committee for investigation and re-
commendation, by motion of Mr. Miller, seconded by Mr.
Crego, 'and on roll call unanimously carried.
A model ordinance, forwarded by the State
Treasurer, to be used by towns wishing to be included
under the provisions of Chapter 19,112, Acts of 1939
providing for the creatIon and administration of a

A discussion arose in regard to awarding
bids for the City's street-building project, and it was
decided to award contract for the job, but to defer the
actual starting of the work until necessary resolutions
have been adopted, as prepared by the City Attorney.
It was accordingly moved by Mr. Miller that the contract
for said paving, sidewalks and curb work be awarded the
low bidder, viz. Harvel Brothers, at a price of $15,511.92.
Mr. Miller seconded the Motion and on roll call the vote
was as follows: Mr. Bradshaw yes, Mr. Crego not voting,
Mr. Hall yes, Mr. Hill yes, Mr. Miller yes. The motion
carried.

George Hollman enquired further in regard
to zoning of Block 126, stating that it would be object-
ionable to re strict s aid Block 126 to Zone "Aft cons truction
if zone "B" restrictions existed directly across the street.
,
( ,
Counciihman Bradshaw explained that the policy
of the Council had been to consider the alleys, rather
than the streets, as the zone boundaries and therefore
the East half' of Blocks 118,119, 120 and 128 would be
in Zone "A" District while the .\est half of these
blocks would be Zone fiB"'.

W.A. J"acobs reported that the new shuffle-
board courts vrere in course o~ co~struction.
Enquiry was made as to the proposed anti-
noise ordinance but the Chairman of the Ordinance Com-
mittee stated this had not yet been drawn.

Mr. Crego recommended the passageof an ord-
inance prohibiting tl1e use of lOUd speakers in the City.
The Council's attention was drawn to pro-
posed construction by Mr. Zook, on Lot 11 Block 116,
which building would be directly over the City's sewer
line. It was suggested that the line be diverted into
the alley directly South of said lot but a question
then arose as to whether this dedicated alley still
existed. It was explained that the alley in question
had. been deeded back to Mr. Zook, by the City Council
in 1920, but members of the present Coun@il contended
that such a deed was illegal unless deeded by a refer-
endum vote of the Citizens. After discussion it was
moved by Mr. Hall that the City Attorney be requested
to supply the Council with a brief on this question as
to who owns this particular alley, in orderto clear up
the uncertainty regarding ownership and settle the argu-
ment which has prevailed in regard to same. Mr. Miller
seconded the motion, which on roll call, carried unanimously
