they were waiting for the completion of an ordinance regulating trai&er courts. Upon motion by
Hanlon, second by Wilkus, the matter was tabled until definite action is taken on the proposed
ordinance. All voted in favor thereof.
Dr. James V. Moon, Superintendent of Schools; Dr. Philip Brown, Mr. Sam Allen, Mr.
Robert Gage, Mr. James Willis and Mr. Bill Lampman, members of the School Board; and Mr. Ralph
Dorsett and Mr. Hilbert Kath of the business office, were present in regard to the budget sub-
mitted for Special School District #4 for 1958-1959. Mr. Lampman, Clerk of the School Board,
stated that copies of the budget had been mailed to each Alderman -for their study and he felt any
questions the Council had could be answered best by Dr. Moon.
Mayor, Smekta inquired why there was such a great increase in the custodial services.
Dr. Moon explained that there had .been an increase from 41 to 58 men and 11 of these additional
custodians were out at JohnlMarshall High School, they also had rented two houses out in Country
Club Manor Addition which had to be taken care of. He further stated that they had an addition of
approximately 40 acres, 5k of which were under a roof. Vpon inquiry as to why the salaries of these
custodians were higher than others in the City, he.s8ated that their custodian salaries ranged
from $360.00 to $410.00 per month; that these salaries were comparable to other schools in the
State; that they tried to get men with high moral character; and that their men had to take I.Q.
and aptitude tests.
Alderman Hanlon inqured if, with increases in students, if each annual budget would be
increased as much as this one and if so was there perhaps a possiblity of curtailing some of the
'If ringe services". Dr. Moon noted that in order to try to hold down the.costs for this year, they
had deferred special education for the mentally retarded, blind, deaf and other handicapped
children, had eliminated the dental hugienist and curtailed the driver education program.
Mayor Smekta then inquired into the possibility of on the job training, for shop
mechanic students. Dr. Moon stated that schools offering industrial arts program do not qualify
on a vocational basis for federal aid. He stated such a program would be good for many boss who
do not succeed in academic fields but no federal aid would be received.
Alderman McGuckin inquired into the cost of educating children who live in trailer
courts. Dr. Moon stated that this was a nation-wide problem with home owners paying the cost of
children from trailer courts, however, in some states trailer lot operators had to pay taxes
-based on lots.
Dr. Moon further stated that this budget as presented was 15% over the last budget,
bit the enrollment was up 11% to 12%, which increased operations otherwise only 3 or 4 per cent.
He also stated that he could see a need for three new elementary schools and one junior high school
within the next five years and a second senior high school in the years to come.
Upon inquiry from Alderman Wilkus as to the plans for Elton Hills, Dr. Moon stated that
as soon as the court litigation is settled (residents are protesting taxes against their proper-
ties the rural school district in which they were located before they came into the Rochester
school district) they plan to build a school, they already have a site and plan to construct a

Special School District No. 4 be approved. Wilkus seconded the motion and all voted in favor
thereof.
Mr. William Fleming, Attorney representing business men along T. H. #52 in the Miracle
Mile area was present and requested that the Council not approve the plans for the said highway
until the engineers they had hired had a chance to make a survey. He then introduced Mr. John
Cofer, respresentative of Harland, Bartholomew & Associates of St. Louis, Missouri.
Mr. Cofer stated that each highway problem has its own peculiarities and therefore
before any judgement is made all the data would have to be gathered; they would confer with both
city and state officials; present and future,traffic volumes must be studied and an attempt to
project traffic volume into the future would be made and on that basis several highway designs will
be made. He stated it would take from four to six weeks to make this survey. Upon inquiry from
Alderman Tingley if this survey would include the stretch south of 2nd Street, he stated such
consideration would be necessary.
President Kamm inquired if their plan would be affected by the opposition of their
.employers. Mr. Cofer replied that they would have to submit the plan they found to be the best.
Alderman Wilkus then inquired if the employers would accept such a plan even it it were what they
were opposed to now. Mr. Fleming, their attorney, replied that he didn't see where there would be
much choice. After hearing Mr. Cofer a motion was made by Wilkus, that the Council grant a six
weeks extension of time, in relation to the situation of T. H. #52 in the Mirace Mile area, giving
the firm of Harland, Bartholomew & Associates time to complete their survey. Morris seconded the
motion and all voted in favor thereof.

Gentlemen:
Our Civil Defense Plans begin to show progress and probably our most important

Patrolman Charles Campbell as Coordinator is giving full time to the program and
in addition to the conduction of a training course he is organizing the vehicles with
two-way radios including taxicabs and wrecking trucks whichlave agreed to stand by as
needed in any disaster.
Patrolman Campbell needs funds to carry out our program. We have used most of the
funds allocated to Civil Defense and I would respectfully request that funds be made
available for the furtherance of the Reserve Police Training program.
. As you know, such funds as are made available to Civil Defense and its projects
are included in the Matching Funds Program of the National and State Departments.
This means that they will match every dollar we spend for the programs of Civil Defense.
Thanking you and the members of the Council for your continued interest in Civil
Defense and its programs,_I am
Redpectfully yours,
/s Winchell M. Craig
Director of Civil Defense"

OBWALC PUBLIBMINO CO., NEW ULN, MINN. 9185
Police Chief Macken tells me that they are factory rated 1'k ton trucks and
can pakk on the city streets, overnight and weekends. Also a tractor with
equipment attached has been left thereovernight.
These trucks are rated as high as 29,000 gross weight for road purposes.
The gross weight method is the way the State Highway regulates use of trucks
and if the ordinance were changed to bar trucks exceeding certain gross
weights rather than factory ratings the Police Department could act.
The continuous parking of these trucks and tractors on this street greatly
depreciates the appearance of the area. I sincerely hope you.can eliminate
this nuisance if possible by changing the ordinance to suit the purpose.
Yours truly,

The following letter from Alderman Tingley was read:
"To the Honorable Mayor and
•
Members of the Common Council
City of Rochester, Minnesota
Gentlemen:
All of you have undoubted) read the recent editorials in the Post Bulletin
Y Y
concerning the closing of certain city offices on Saturdays. It is doubtful
'whether these editorials, as such, merit our consideration; but if, as a
result of reading these editorials, some citizens misunderstand our action,
then consideration of the effect of these editorials is warranted. Since
I am the only member of the Common Council who is also a member of the Public
Utility Board and since certain remarks made by me at the Council meeting
held on August 18th concerning the payment of utility bills appear to have
motivated the editorials, I feel a personal obligation to set forth the facts
and reasoning which led to our decision to keep city offices closed on
Saturdays. (The Post Bulletin editorials can hardly be considered a
factual, comprehensive or detached consideration of the subject).
In closing its offices on Saturdays, the City of Rochester:
(1) First provided three convenient locations where utility bills
may be paid from 9:00 A. M. to 9:00 P. M. every weekday, without
additional cost to the consumer. These are the North Side Super
Valu on North Broadway, the South Side Super Valu on 4th Street
Southeast and the Red Owl Store at the Miracle Mile.
(2) Has made more effective use of 1present city personnel by elimin-
ating the inefficiencies which result from irregular employee
working schedules. Now all employees involved work an uninter-
rupted forty hour week.
(3) Has eliminated certain inequities between those City employees
required to work on Saturdays and those not.
(4) Will accomplish long range economies in wages and other costs
incurred through being open Saturdays.
(5) Has joined the overwhelming majority of other cities in the same
population classification that close City Hall on Saturdays.
Plans are now also under consideration fo further improve city services by
centralizing as many functions as possible involving the collection of money
into one office.
In the light of the foregoing it is still my opinion that"the closing of city
offices on Saturdays is a progressive move which will receive almost unanimous
approval of an informed and enlightened citizenry.
Respectfully submitted,
•

stipulation that ample offstreet parking be provided was also read. Mr. Fred Schuster, representi
the Mayo Association, was present and stated that.this land comprised about nine acres and the
reason they were requesting this zone change now was so that people interested in buying this land
would know that it was zoned commercial and also the purchasers of land adjacent hereto. He also
stated that they were willing to provide off street parking but thought some uniform plan for off
street parking should be set up. A motion was made by Haas, second by McGuckin, that the -
recommendation of the Zoning Board be approved and the City Attorney be instructed to prepare an

from multiple.dwelling to commercial zone was read. Mr. Lawrence Lyke, representative of the
National Farm Loan Association and Production Credit Association who plan to build on this lot, was
present and stated that they were very anxious to get started building and therefore urged that then
Council approve this change of zoning. He also stated that ample off street parking was provided
as.the land they were going to build on was 20,000 square feet and only 2500 square feet would be
used by the building. A motion was made by Hanlon that the recommendation of the Board of Zoning
be approved and the City Attorney was instructed to prepare an ordinance making the requested zone
change. Haas seconded the motion and all voted in. favor thereof.

all the property lying south of the north line of Lot.33, Auditor's Plat "A" and northwest of

Lot 26, Block 2; Lot 1, Block 3 and Lot 26, Block 3 in Bielenberg & Giese Third Addition back from
multiple dwelling zone to a residential zone. He stated that they had bought their homes.in this
area with the impression that all this property was zoned as ..residential and were unaware that
this property had been.changed to multiple dwelling in 1955. He further stated that he understood
the owners were going to build sixplexes on these lots and did not feel they were very desirable in
a residential area. Mr. Richard Plunkett, Attorney representing Bielenberg & Giese, stated ghat he
felt that he.felt the status of these lots should be left unchanged as the owners had had these
changed back in 1955 so residents in that area would know what zone they were and also that an
insulating area had'been provided by the owners. R. V. Ehrick, City Attorney, stated that if the
Council-were.'to consider rezoning they would have to find a change in circumstances and in his
opinion the circumstances were unchanged. After hearing those present a motion was made by Hanlon

The following supplemental report and cost estimate for sanitary.sewer and water main
on 21st Avenue S. W. from 3rd to 5th St. S. W. submitted by the.c,Gity Engineer Vas read and President
Kamm ordered the same placed on file:
"Honorable Mayor & Common Council
City of Rochester, Minnesota
Gentlemen:
Attached is the Engineers Estimate based on completed plans, for sanitary
sewer and water main in 21st Ave. S.W. from 3rd to 5th St. S.W.
The estimated cost of the sanitary sewer if $13,520.10. The estimated cost
of the water main is $11,854.60;
Your attention is called to the fact that both of these costs are considerably
above the previous estimate given in the Feasibility Report which was made prior
to survey and detailed plans.
The cost of both the sewer and water construction are affected by the
necessity of deadheading for 366 feet on 3rd Street between 20th and 21st Ave.
$4000 for sewer and $3300 for water.
The costs of sewer and water are both also increased -by the reock encountered
in the trenching -which amounts to 45% of the sewer costs, and 28% of the water main
costs.
The sewer costs are further increased above normal due to the fact that the
sewer must be laid deeper in the street than normal in order to serve the
basements of the houses on the east side of 21st Ave. which are considerably
lower than the street grade.
All these factors contribute to a total -which is approximately 45% above
normal cost.
If the total costs are to be assessed against the properties fronting on
21st Ave. between 3rd Ave. and 5th St. S.W. the assessments per front foot will
be: Sanitary Sewer $8.22 per front foot.
Water Main 7.26 per front foot.
Total 15.48 per front foot
This will amount to $840 for the average 54 foot lot.
This is being called to your attention so that you may reconsider the economic
feasibility of the projects before awarding the contract and proceeding with its
construction.
Respectfully,
/s C. A. Armstrong, City Engineer"
