Il J .... ~ 'wJ ....,J NEW BUSINESS Councilman Seng stated we now have a good ball diamond and have spent about $1000 on it and there is no water there to keep the grass from dying. I feel we should do something about it. I understand there is not money enough in the water department to extend this line to the field and I would suggest we drill a well and use a gasoline pump. Councilman Beck stated it was understood water from Louisa Drive would only cost about $300. Motion duly made by Councilman Seng the City run water line to the ball park. Councilman Armstrong ask if this would not run across private property. I feel we should not spend money and have to tear it out again when they build a school. Councilman Beck stated it could be laid on top of the ground and taken up anytime. Mayor Shaeffer stated he was against laying it on top of the ground as the pipe would disappear. Mr. Brown offered to loan the city a gasoline pump to be uded during the ball season. Councilman Seng then withdrew his motion. After discussion on cost of laying pipe a motion was duly made by Councilman Seng, we lay water line to ball park, transfer money from the general city fund to the water department to lay the line, seconded by Councilman Armstrong and by vote CARRIED.

He stated he had a ruling from the County Attorney stating this cost could be charged to the property owner on his taxes. Mayor Shaeffer then ask Mr. Bennett what width and depth they had in mind for this street. Mr. Bennett stated Mr. Saxon had all the information as he had worked it out last year as a 20 foot' width with a depth of 6" to handle heavy traffic. He stated there was approx- imately 2600 feet on these two streets and I think the City should stand their third as it does give work to residents and there will be more businesses come in if the street is paved. Is the road going to be paved? This is the first question that is ask if we bring a prospect in to look at the property.
