<br />A report from the Public Works Department gave the history of the line now in use on
<br />Polk Street, and a sketch was shown indicating private connections and properties
<br />not previously assessed for use of the sewer. The Public Works Department recommended
<br />delay of the Polk Street paving if it is decided not to c'Onstruct the sewer at ,this
<br />time, and to proceed with paving Cross Street. No action was taken.
<br />

<br />
<br />The City Manager again reviewed the history of the sewer line now in use on North Polk, and explained
<br />that only owners of those properties no having been assessed will have to pay an assessment for con-
<br />nection to the new line. He said construction is necessary to complete the separation of storm and
<br />sanitary sewers in this area. James D. Campbell, 1360 S~nny Drive and owner of property at 280 North
<br />Polk; Mrs. Wallace Stein, 93 North Polk; and Mrs. K. W. Peterson, 273 North Polk stated their objec-
<br />tions to the new line. Councilman Anderson asked whether property owners could take legal action
<br />against the City for assessment against their properties if they had already entered into a contract
<br />with the City in 1914 for sewer service. The City Attorney said there is nothing which would legally
<br />prevent the City from installing the sewer and levying the assessment.
<br />
<br />Dr. Purdy moved seconded by Mr. Anderson to proceed with paving Cross Street. Rollcall vote. All
<br />councilmen present voting aye, motion carried.

<br />plaint from Henry Baitis concerning a house moved to 955 East 43rd, and on which a
<br />"stop work" order was issued. The opinion stated unless the permit was issued in
<br />error or as a result of misrepresentation, it cannot be revoked. Mr. Anderson moved

<br />Henry Baitis, 1930 Buck Street, owner of property adjacent to 955 East 43id Avenue, offered to pay
<br />the fee to have three appraisers determine the life of the house after being moved to this location.
<br />He again stated his objections, drawing attention to what he felt were features detrimental to the
<br />area. Also voicing objections were George Houts, 4130 West Amazon Drive; Ronald Dykes, 4745 Brook-
<br />wood Street; and K, J. Braun, 5550 West Amazon Drive. Elmer Sahlstrom, 715 Fair .Oaks Drive, one of
