C hambers Charles H. Armstrong, City Engineer, when called on for reconmenda_ ' tions in the matter, said that he lad nothing to add to the recommendations whit h were made 'in his last annual report, except that a branch should be taken from the proposed new trunk system and carried as far up town as the intersection of Third Street Northwest and Second Avenue Nort hNest in order to out over the Second Avenue Sewer and thus divert 't he new Kabler sewage into the new trunk system and there -by relieve the old trunk line sewer. H. J. Barwick said that he did not realize how serious the aitua- tion is until a day or two previous he had the opportunity, at the request of t he City Engineer, to view how badly t be present trunk system is over, - loaded, and that Yee appreciates that when the new Kabler Hotel is opened and commences to use their detrage pumping system, it will simply force the of her sewage out of the manholes or back into the house connections as the present system will not handle the added demand upon it He further said that the present sewer system was designed for a village and now has to be used for a City, and urged speed' in making addit- ions to our facilities in that line; he stating that be thought the Charter Commission would be favorable to such amendments as would be necessary to 51 promote this project, if any are. to be required, J. H. KaAer said for the past three years. the present system 'Ins not been adequate to take care of the Colonial hospital and that every Council has" passed the buck" on relieving conditions until now this one must take action at once. Alderman Olson said consideration must first be given to the question as to bow the project is to be financed, lies whether it is to be a bond issue or by a tax levy to be paid next year, how much t he cost will be and where and how t he assessments will be spread. Alderman Frank favored a bond issue running, say, for five years to defray the cost of such as may have to be paid by general taxation, and also to get proper amendments to t he C barter in effect, so t hat t he City can do t he job and be in a posi- tion to employ home labor in the construction. George B. Knowlton favored a system planned so that it will be big enough to carry all possible extensions for the future, and that, home labor be used in its construction. Alderman Witzke reported that be had that day viewed the outlet of the present sewer system and found it to be flowing wit Un two or three . inc hps of its full capacity. Win. C. Fraser took exceptions to t hie reference that the present trunk sys- tern was not planned large enough when it was built and explained that it could not have been laid out on larger lines, as there was great opposition at that time to even laying the main trunk as large as it is# he saying that the common tendency to pacify public opposition has caused this same trouble in many places to sue h an ex- tent that many times only a ten inch sewer is laid for the trunk lines He further said that the present City Engineer' is better qualified to lay out this new trunk system than any of her person who could be secured, as be is famil- iar with local conditions and needs. H. S. Adams said that in circulating the above petitions, he found only a few who objected to signing it and that the result was the work of only a few hours. C. W. Blakely asserted that every live man in the City appreciates the urgent need of a greater system, and t hat should the cost be 5$1001,000.00 be was sure the people would vote for it, and also urged that the necessary resolution to pur- chase the pipe be passed and that home labor be used in immediately commencing the work. E. C. I3ackett, when called on by President Weeks, said that he had nothing to say in the matter under discussion. Alderman Olson agreed that the down -town section needs relief from the congested condition of the present system and said that the Southwest part of t be City must have consideration at the 66me time in that the financing, etc. shall be large enough to provide funds for a sewer system and disposal plant for them also. 52 Alderman Erickson expressed himself as in accord with t he proposed plan for the new trunk sewer provided that the funds, etc. be • arranged suf- ficient to also cover sewer facilities for the southwest portion of the City. George B. Knowlton asked if the new trunk system could be laid deep enough so that the system. mentioned for the southwest portion of the City, could be carried into it in order not, to have a sewer disposal plant in the south part of the City and eventually another in the northern part to take care of the present system and the proposed new trunk system, , to which Charles H. Armstrong, City Engineer, replied that the excavations in making the cross town runs would be too great to make that a feasible plan, and that t he only alternative over the disposal plant would be the construction and operation of a sewage pumping Station to carry from that district over the grades and into the present or proposed system. George B. Knowlton requested that the Charter amendments providing for the levying of assessments for the cost and expense of laying water mains be again submitted to the voters, providing that it is necessary to hold a special election to authorize the financing of the proposed sewer extensions, in order that those who can then get sewer service will also be sure of gett- ing water with which to use it. Alderman Miner suggested that Amendment No: 1 be again submitted to the voters, and for the reason that home labor could be used in this project, he thought that it would carry, to which J. H. Ka filer replied that he did not think this Amendment could, be voted on again just at this time as his under- standing was that no amendment could again be submitted within six months after its rejection. President Weeks urged that the voters be made familiar with the issue in all its phases if an election is to be held to provide funds, etc*, as rus opinion is that unless that is done, they will reject every amendment :that is put up for their ratification as they are afraid of the unexplained provisions. George W. Haney stated that the amendment providing for the assess- ing of the cost and expense of laying water mains will never carry until the Common Council and Public Utility Board fix a policy which they will both abide by, and then say to the public in general that there will be no more water mains laid with the entire cost to be paid by the City, and then only will the voters adopt an amendment of that sort, and' cited, as a lack of policy, the cases where water mains were laid at once in former West Fourth Street and West Sixth Street as soon as they were opened as streets, while other localities have waited for years and can not get water service. Motion by Olson second by Erickson carried that the Charter Com- 53 Y- 1 ' mission be requested to q prepare and submit two proposed amendments to the Charter of the City of Rochester, Minnesota; one to allow the City of Rochester to make its own public improvements, and one to authorize the levying of assessments for the cost and expense of laying water mains. Motion by Olson second by Miner carried that the City Engineer be instruct- ed to prepare' plans, specifications and estimates of cost for the construction of A the proposed trunk sewer system and for sewer facilities and a disposal plant for the southwest, portion of said City.

Grocers are not required to have such licenses by city ordinance, this being a state law only and the enforcement of the law has always been left with the State Dairy and. Food Commission. The local health office has taken no steps to enforce it, partly because the question of sanitation is not involved and partly because it appears to be. the policy of the Food Com- mission to work independently of local health departments. We have tried to ,secure their cooperation and have asked that their inspectors call at the office when in town, but so far without success. We allow :grocers to sell milk (which of course comes only from licensed dealers) on condition that they have suitable places for storing it and providing that no unsold milk is held over for sale on day following delivery from dairy. Relative to a report of the inspector that several food establish- ments were unsereened, this was later denied by the inspectors Our inspect- ions showed that there were no unsereened food stores in the city.

Sc hul tz Mrs. F. 11. Gimbert N. K. Markle A. Kingsley Carl Behrens i Alderman Case said that he favored making the paving repairs needed at the cost of the abutting property and that in commencing these i proceedings the Council, by their unanimous action, gave expression that they were in full accord with the plan for the improvement. John Behrens opposed the taking out of the raised crossings as i .. they were constructed as part of the paving plan as approved by the Common' Council and are satisfactory to the property owners as it is felt that t hey 'furnis h a c heck on t he automobile traffic as t 1ry tend to t hsow t hie I vehicles to the center of the street and thus control their rate of speed. j He said that while be thought the cost 4of removing these cross- i ings would be about 475000 00 each and opposed the assessing of the cost to 1 the abutting property, he felt t 1at the property owners concerned would not have them taken out even if the City at large would pay for the job. He further. said that all of the property owners are in too poor financial circumstances to stand this extra assessment for treating this street and removing the raised crossings as most of them laves not yet paid for the original paving co stsa j Rasmus Larsen did not want to pay for ,the raised crossings in ! the first costs of the improvement and then heave to pay for taking them j out, and in regard to the treating of this street with a s-irface coat of j Tarvia "B" made the assertion that t here . was not tar enough used in the i first instance@ Alderman Witzke wanted the property owners to fully understand t tat t he cost of repairs will increase the longer the paving is allowed I to go without them. Thomas Moody asked what was the reason for removing the raised crossings to wlnc h the City Engineer replied that they were to be removed because of the exorbitant maintenance cost, and referred to the fact that nine of them on that street bad to be repaired during the past winter and spring. Mr. Moodysuggested that possibly the trouble arises from this street f :� having to carry the surface water from intersecting avenues from which Th, volume water gets under the blocks and freezes t hzs causing the blocks to bulge up and requiring that they be re-laid. i Alderman 'Witzke confirmed Alderman Case's assertion as to the Council starting these proceedings for the best interest of the property owners and caution- ed t but if t hese plans are abandoned later on, it will cost twice as much to make the repairs which will t han be absolutely necessary, and expressed himself as being fav- orable to the repairs of the paving under the plan as proposed. There were no other persons present who wished to be heard in regard to the t treating of the above described part of Fourth Street Scut beast ' and the removing of t he raised crossings therefrom.
