The request of the Rochester Fire Department Relief Association that the Council approve a loan to Laura McHenry in the amount of $2,000.00 on property located at 925 - 10th Street Southeast was read and the same was ordered placed on file. The request of the Rochester Junior Chamber of Commerce to operate a bingo game at the annual Gypsy Frolic to be held on April 29, 19-50 was read and the same was ordered placed on file. The following letter from the State of Minnesota, Department of Highways was read and the same was ordered placed on file: "Mr. F. R. Finch City Clerk Rochester, Minnesota Re: Designation Federal Aid Urban • Dear Sir: Routes"in Rochester. We wish to acknowledge receipt of resolutions adopted by your City Council on the 9th of March relative to the designation of Federal -aid g Urban Routes within h the City of Rochester. It is noted that one of these resolutions rescinds the resolution adopted by your Council on the 2nd day of May, 1949, which -.requested the designation of certain routes within the City. The other resolution now requests that the following routes be selected as Federal -aid Urban Highways which would make them eligible for construction with Urban Federal -aid Highway Funds. 01. North and South Broadway from the North City limits to the South City limits, presently designated as Trunk Highway 63. 2. The West and South "Belt Line" presently designated as Trunk Highways 14 and 52. 3. A route connecting Trunk Highway 63 at Second Street South with the southeast junction of Highways 14 and 52 over the following reoute: "On 2nd Street Southeast from Broadway to Second Avenue Southeast, thence across the Mayo Park Bridge to Third Avenue and Third 659 Record of Official Proceedings of the Common Council of the City -of Rochester, Minn:; March 27, 19 50 1 1 • 'J • 1 'Stre•et Southeast; thence South on Third Avenue I� to Fourth Street Southeast, thence east on Fourth Street Southeast to 13th Avenue South- east, thence south on 13th Avenue to Sixth II Street Southeast, thence southeasterly on ! the old highway to the junction of Trunk High- ways 14 and 52 near the southeast corner of it the City of Rochester, Minnesota." The first two routes described are a part of the trunk highway system and action has been taken to secure the designation of these routes as Urban Federal -aid Highways. The third route is.not on the trunk highway system. It. is apparent - that most of the major arterial routes in cities of more than 5000 population are included in that system. The State's obligation for �I construction and maintenance on trunk highways within urban areas is so extensive that available Urban Federal -aid Highway Funds and the State funds required for matching are entirely insufficient to take 'I care of even the more urgent projects on this system -within the next i ten years or more. Because of this situation it -.has appeared_ necessary to adopt the policy of reserving all 'Urban Federal -aid Highway Funds for trunk highway projects. It has'not appeared possible to justify exception to this policy except i:n a few,cases in cities of the first class. While Federal laws and regulations permit the designation of i Urban Federal -aid Routes which are not on the State highway system, there would be no advantage -in requesting the Bureau of Public Roads to approve the designation of such routes 'as long as it does not appear probable that Urban Federal -aid Highway Funds will be available for construction on such routes. We must advise, therefore, that no action will be taken by this, department at this time to comply r� with the request contained in the resolution adopted by your Council_ as far as the third route above described is concerned." The request of -the Board of - Public Health and Welfare for approval of the purchase of housekeeping equipment in the amount of $77.05 from Arnold Maintenance Supply Company and one typewriter from Beckley Business Equipment Company in the amount of I $121.23 was read and upon motion by Miner, second by Amundsen, the purchase of the above equipment was approved. A communication from the Southeast Men's Club offering theircooperation and assistance to the Council in submitting the pending Sewage Treatment Plant and sewer bon tissue to the voters was read and the same was ordered placed on file.

Respectfully submitted, PUBLIC GROUNDS COMMITTEE Glenn 0. Amundsen, Chairman Leo C. Anderson, Member Austin A. Kennedy, Member" The following recommendation of the Police Committee was read and upon motion by Kennedy, second by Amundsen, the recommendation was approved; "To the Honorable Mayor and - Members of the Common Council City of Rochester, Minnesota Gentlemen: The following recommendation by the State Public Examiner is included in his report for the fiscal year of 1949-1949: 'Included in the accounts receivable on March 31, 194ES and 1949 is an item of $3,299.90 shown on the records as due from the State of Minnesota, Department of Highways. This charge originated in the year 1939 and was intended to cover the Department of Highway's share of cost of installing electric traffic signals on Broadway Investigation disclosed that no contract was ever entered into between the Department of Highways and the City, othern than the possibility of the Department of Highways sharing in the cost of the electric traffic signals providing parallel parking was enforced on the street where signals were installed. The city requires diagonal parking, therefore, the Department of Highways denies any liability. It is recommended that.the Council authorize writing this account off the records.' The Police Committee therefore recommends that the accounts receivable for traffic signals in the amount of $3,299.90 be written off the records of the City. Respectfully submitted, POLICE COMMITTEE, John F. Miner, Chairman Carl A. Theel, Member Stanley M.
