Motion to accept their offer made by ~ard, seconded by Hillman. All in favor.
The Board also agreed they would be ple.~sed if the cost could be cut some.
Gathe property- wants to he daannexed. As was explained by our attorney
at previous meetings , the Board cannot do mr__ything about this.
Telephone Rates* Davis explained to the ~oard that he had talked to
some of the officials of the phone 8o., and they are going to study this
matter and see if they c~n make an adjustment of the high rate, and try
to conform our rates ~th those of Potato!lo.
Filing on Underground Water Permit- This ma~ter h~.s been taken care of.
Gravel Pit- Davis explained that in %he future the County will not be
able to furnish us gravel~ therefore, the Village should be looking for a
site for a gravel pit of their own. Th, County woul~ probably be able to
crush the ~avel and stock pile it for us: ~f 'we have our o'^_~1 gravel pit.
Licenses- Traasfer :{t Pine Tavern. Jack Newsom was ores~nt and asked the
Board just what was the correct proceedure for transfe~ing licenses from
name to another. The Board asked him to pleas- wait fo~ one week till they
hire a Village Attorney and have legal advise on the correct prcceedure.
The Board all a~reed that they had no objections to the -brans£er, if the
Police Officer had no objections. Carl Hensley~ the Police Officer,
stated that he bad no objections.
Street signs- Some of the residents on Hi.~ay Ave. asked that the
n~me of the street be posted at the f. ntersection of Hiway Ave with Yellowstone
Hiway. During the discussion on street signs~ it was decimed by the Board
that we need: signs naming the streets, signs marking Dead End streets,
speed signs for side roods, and saw horses for when the ~reets are under
repair. Davis said he will ~n.q~l~re and see what c~n be ~t.one about this.
Insurance* Dale Kruse, an Insurance Agent, was present and explained to
th · Board the Blanket Liability policy his company carries on the Village.
Water Hook-up. ~itchell asked the 9oard if it would be possible for
him to get a new hook-up for his house. This wc~u!~ req¥_~re about 120 feet
of main line, as the water system main line does not run in front of his
property. In discussiD~ the matter it was suggested that if the ]_ay !in,
that far they may as well go to the corner of Syphon .~oad and Yellowstenm
Hiway, and it would only be a matter of about 80 more feet of pipe to
lay and we would have it there for future use. It was the decision of the
Board to ~et more facts and f~gures before acting on this matter.
Card Games- Earnest and Bert Frasure were present ~nd. Earnest Frasure
asked the Board why' the place across the street from him was allowed to play
cards~ when he ~,'~as not allowed to play cards at his place. The Board said they
had an Officer that took care of that and then asked* Carl Hensley: the Village
Police Officer, if it was true that the place across the street from Frasare's
Place was playing corns, and H~nsley answered that he had been there at
different times of the d~2~ and night and he bad not seen them playing any
c~rds,~nd that to his knowledge they ~ere not playing c~rds. After tqat
remark Bert Frasur. turned around to Hensley and said "You w~uld say that,
cause you are getting your share". Hensley asked Bert Frusure just what
ae nleant by that remark, and Frasure said "You will find out later". ~At this
ti~m. Even Frasure turned to Hensley and said that he had seen affidavits saying
that Hensley h=~d received a bribe from Lena. Hensley said that he would like
to see the afl'idawi ts a~ld see ~h¢' signed them~ ~{nd he was told that in due
ti~e he would see them. Davis remarked that we should net discriminate against
any one man or place. The Poard all a~reed that there are State men in this area
~nd since it is ~ State law that prohibits card p!aying~ it should be up to the
State men to find out about it and then act~ if necessa~I.
~Vhere to pay water bills- Pert Frasure asked where should the water bills
be paid? He said that he h~d been to the Clerk's house twice ~.nd she wasn't
home. The Clerk said she is bom. every afternoon from 12 noon to 5 P.M..
The Board members said that they had had no trouble p~vin~ their bills, and
also they did not ex~ect the Clerk to work 2h hours a day.
~e®ting recessed at lO:hO P.~. to Tuesday, July 21~ ]959 at 8:00 P.~.
at which time they will discuss the matter of water to the County Fairgrounds,
and also ~cide on an Attorney for the VAlidate,
