New Extensions- Hamilton asked the decision of the Board on where to lay the
new lines as money permits. He estimates we can lay about 2600 feet of new line.
If ~e do go south with the new line this would take us to Lou Lane and would
give about 50 pounds pressure in a fire hydrant at that location. Then Hamilton

available made by Fenwick, seconded by Frasure. Ail in favor.
NLingo Connections- Valenty stated that ~ingo did all this work with his own
money and the Board agreed that for the present they would reverse their decision
and accept the line as it is already in and there are connections off of it
paying water charges to the Village. Motion to accept the line as is made by
~ard, seconded by Hillman. All in favor.
Sunday Closing-Valenty stated that some of the businessmen had approached him
and asked that they be allowed to start the sale of beer on Sun~ay at Noon instead
on 3:00 P.M. Hensley reported that the situation is good now. Valenty- w~At should
be done is that we should go tb the State Legislature and get' them to fix it so
everyone has to do the same thing, either all be open or all be closed. After
much discussion it was finally ~ecided to let it stay at 3:00 P.M. for the rest
of this year and then the first Sunday in January let them try opening for sale
of beer on Sunday at Noon and see how this works out and any further decision
on the matter will be taken up at the next reguler meeting in January.
New Business- Speed limit in Chubbuck. C.E.Aldrich, District Engineer says the
State will post 35 M.P.H. speed zone through Chubbuck, but that if they do it
must be 85% enforced. If 15% are breaking the speed limit the signs will be
removed. ~A letter with Board approval authorizing installation of 35M.P.H.
speed signs and three crosswalks for school children will be sent to the State
~'ith the understanding that this will be done only if it meets with their
approval.~ Hensley had requested 9 crosswalks for school children in the Village
but the State will only go I'or three crosswalks in this distance. After some
discussion the Board ~ecided that the best place for the three crosswalks would
be at the following locations- Lou Lane, Intersection at Chubbuck goad and
Yellowstone Highway, and at Kennedy's.
Bell Trailer Court- Bell b~ught an acre south of his present Trailer Par~
and he wants to know that if he hooks on to the Main mater Line there will he be
subject to 2 water charges.. The Board feels that if he did do this he would be
subject to 2 chargel as it is an additional connection.. Will the city put in
a fire plug there?. He will help with the work. The Board decided that he can
hook on his own line or pay additional charges, and as for the fire plug they
have no answer ~et. They will have to get an estimate of cost first, Caldwell
said that in Alameda the cost of a fire plug installed is about 300.00,
MacBeth Plumbing- wants Village to collect for some work he did on connecting
water to a Davidson Constructed Home and then have the Village pay him for this
wo~k.~ Call-ell stated that it against the Law for the Village to do this, even
if the Village wanted to. The Clerk will advise MacBeth of this information.
