a waste of time. Alderman Strain stated that it is good for the
people of the community to have knowledge as to what is going on
in the City with a potential of this site becoming a government
center. Alderman Hunziker stated that he too was in favor of the
hearing. This sits in the middle of his ward and he wants his
people informed. Alderman Canfield thinks we owe the people this
information and a hearing is a good idea. Alderman McConnell is

if the center is not built or chooses another place to build.

took that kind of attitude about informing the people of what is
going on. Alderman Bluhm is in favor of the hearing. Alderman
McConnell stated that he is in favor of keeping people informed

ed a petition signed by 17 neighbors in favor of this fence remaining
and 1 against. He stated that he asked the person that put up the
fence if this was O.K. and they said it was. Mr. Mattson
stated that he found approx 5 or 6 fences in the area that are in
ROW also. Alderman McConnell questioned Mr. Plumb where these other
fences are. Mr. Plumb stated that he did not know specifically, but
if this fence was allowed in ROW, then everyone else would put a
fence in ROW too.
Mr. Mattson questioned Mr. Plumb, "can this fence be in ROW, but
maybe 1/2 the distance. Mr. Plumb stated " No, a fence in ROW is
in ROW and still would be a precedent for everyone else.
