After due consideration and on motion of Commissioner Nelson, duly seconded, it was unanimously voted by the Board to cancel this charge against said premises. A petition was presented by residents on Sixth Avenue,South, asking the Board to install a water inainon Sixth Avenue between Burlington and Orleans Streets.

Regular Meeting The First Monday of the month being the first day of the month it was not possible or at least not practica11to hold the meeting on that day. The regular meeting was held by common consent'of the Commissioners at 4 :30 P.M., on the Fifth day of April, 1940,with all Commissioners present. President Kleinschnitz presiding. Minutes of regular meeting held on March and approved. 940, read The matter of an extension of the water main on Sixth Avenue between Burlington and Orleans Streets again came up for discussion and General Manger Grove reported that he had been in touch with a representative of the Works Progress Administration and from his conversation with him thought there was a possibility of getting financial aid from that source. The consensus of opinion was that the Board should take no action until they were assured for certain of financial aid from the Works Progress Administration. General Manager Grove reported that some residents in Oak Park had approached him as to the possibility of extending the water works system in Oak Park. The matter was discussed at some length but no action taken. General Manager Grove reported that a request had been made by residents living on North William Street between Sycamore and . Moore Streets for water service to be laid in the same trench now being . dug by the Works NProgress Administration. It was the opinion of the Board that an extension of the water main would not be advisable due to the fact that perhaps there would never be more than two or three consumersvon this line. After some discussion it was the unanimous opinion of the Board that a smaller galvanized service be laid in the sewer trench and the Water Board defray the cost of same but before any person may enjoy the privilege of connecting with such main he shall pay to the Board of Water Commissioners the sum of Twenty ($20.00) dollars; that in addition to the payment of said slum of Twenty ($20.00)dollars, such person shall pay the entire cost of connecting the premises for which he desires water service with said main.

Minutes of regular meeting held Apr11.5,19400 read and Mr.Trumbull Smith representing Wallace & Tiernan Co., Inc., Newark,New Jersey,waspresentto explain to the'-Boarda.'' proposal for the purpose of eliminating crenothrix which is building up in the water mains from the Hinckley supply. He explained that General Manager Grove had taken samples of that water supply which had been analyzed by Mr.Ross Thuma, chief chemist of the St.Paul water supply, and with the samples had proved beyond a doubt that crenothrix in the water mains was about 200% greater than it was at the source proving that it was building up in the mains. Mr.Smith proposed to eliminate this condition by installing a chlorinator and ammonia machine. He proposed to install the machines for a period of Ninety days as a trial. If these machines proved that they would eliminate a greater part of this trouble the Board would purchase said machines. If favorable results were not accomplished the machines would be shipped back to Wallace & Tiernan Co., Inc.,Newark,New Jersey, and the Board would be required to pay the freight and cost of chlorine and ammonia used in the experiment. After some discussion and deliberation the Board decided that no action be taken until General Manager Grove and some members of the Board had investigated conditions similar to ours at Eau Claire,Wisconsin, and other places nearby where these chemicals were being used. The Commissioners present having approved each individual bill Commissioner Nelson offered the following resolution which was adopted, all voting "Aye" Resolution No. 461 Resolved by the Board of 'dater Commissioners of the City of Stillwater, that the following bills be, and they are,hereby allowed and warrants ordered drawn on the Treasurer for the several amounts, viz: S.P.McKusick, Secretary, S.P.McKusick, Secretary, S.P.McKusick, Secretary, H.S.Grove, Tri State Telephone,Telegraph Co.,.

General Manager Grove also reported that the deacons of Trinity Lutheran Church had remarked that their cost of laying a cerent sidewalk in front of the Water Board property had cost them considerable r ~•••.•ore than was anticipated.

Stillwater ,Minnesota,September.8,1941. All Commissioners present. President Kleinschnitz Minutes of regular meeting held August.4,1941,read Commissioner Simonet reported that he had been approached by Dr. R.J.Josewski and wife to see if water mains could be extended to or near their proposed new home in Oak Park. President A.W.Kleinschnitz asked General Manager Grove his opinion in the matter. Mr.Grove stated that in accordance with the Boardts instructions at the regular meeting of July.7,1941, he had contacted officials of the Vvorks Progress Administration and that he had reported at the regular meeting of July.18,1941, that obtaining W.P.A. labor for any water main extensions at the present time was very uncertain.. Mr.Grove presented a plat showing the location of the Josewski property and estimated the cost of laying a main in Third Avenue to Orleans Street to be $4,132.00 Mr.Grove said that the reason he had planned the Third Avenue route was due to the fact that there was a dead end in Third Avenue and by extending a main south in Third Avenue thence west in Orleans street to Fourth Avenue two dead ends could be eliminated. In summing up the matter Mr.Grove advised strongly against the extension at present. First, because of the cost to the Board of Water Commissioners, second, Third Avenue was not graded, and last the property to be benefited would be outside of the City Limits.

Special Meeting called by the Secretary as instructed by the Board of Water Commissioners at its last regular meeting held November 10, 1941, The meeting being held in the office of the Board of Water Commissioners with all member, of the Board and all members of the City Council present. President A.'W.Kleinschnitz informed the members present that the joint meeting had been called for the pupose of clarifying the status of the account between the City of Stillwater and the Board of Water Commissioners. Mr.Kleinschnitz stated that the Board had been economizing to the best of their ability trying to build-up a reserve large enough to make the much needed repairs and improvements to the Water Works System of the City of Stillwater. He stated that much of the equipment needed replacing and that a new well must be drilled at once. Mr.Kleinschnitz also stated that the account of the Board of Water Commissioners against the City of Stillwater now amounted to Thirty thousand dollars 030,000.00), and if the Board had the said amount the needed additional equipment and necessary repairs could be made. He stated that something had to be done. Mr.Kleinschnitz then called on General Manager Grove to enumerate to the members present some of the improvements and necessary repairs that should be made. Mr.Grove then stated that first of all in his opinion a new well should be drilled in compliance with the recommendations of the Fire Underwriters Bureau. in 1931. He also stated that the pumping equipment at the. McKusick Lake station was in bad shape and that there was no stand -by equipment in,this station. He stated that in July 1941 this pump had broken down during the peak demand causing a critical condition that 0Ontinued. for almost a week before this pump could be repaired. He also stated, that in his opinion n- this pump should be replaced with new equipment and used as a reliable stand -by for the lower system when.t he new well was completed. He estimated the cost of these improvements in the neighborhood of Twenty thousand dollars,($20,000.00) He also stated that the old steam pump in the North Third Street ;Station now need 'for a stand -by was inadequate, that said pump -had been installed in 1881 and could be operated after a fashion, it is too slow and had too small a capacity. He also stated that new meter testing equipment and a new truck must be purchased. Also he mentioned a new main and new reservoirs and many other repairs too numerous to mention. Mayor Brodeen then addressed the meeting and said he was of the opinion that something should be done by the Council but felt that Thirty thousand dollars (430, 000.00), was more than they could stand and asked the members of the Water Board what they thought in their opinion would be a fair settlement. The matter was then discussed at some length, all members of the City Council, the City Clerk, and members of the 9tgter Board taking part in the discussion. The final analysis of the matter was that the City Council would finance the cost of the construcltion of a new well. While no final action was taken gt this meeting the agreement reached was that the City Council would have a special meeting in the near futurd and at that time make their decision.

A,1 Commissioners present. President Kleinschnitz presiding. President Kleinschnitz informed the ?embers that the meeting had been called due to an emergency created by the break -down of the pump at the Owen and Laurel Streets Station. Mr.Kleinschnitz called on General Manger Grove, who reported that the pump had broken down again on Sunday November 23 at Three otclock P.M. and the crew had immediately started to pull the pump. Mr.Grove said that he had immediately notified the President and also other members of the Board. It was discovered that the pump wad in very bad condition and to repair same and put it in first class condition would be very expensive. Mr.Grove stated that he had talked with experts on pumps who were of the opinion that the installation of a new pump would beta cheaper way out of a bad situation. Mr.Grove also stated t?-at he had taken upon himself to investigate several pumps of similar size installed in the Twin City Area. He also stated that the pump manufactured by Layne Western Co. of Minnesota appeared to be in his opinion the best pump to purchase for several reasons, namely: the reputation of said Company, the prevailing opinion of the owners of installations visited, the date of delivery. and the price. President Kleinschnitz stated for official record that the members of the Board of Water Commissioners, General Manager Grove, and himself, had on Thursday November 27 visited the plant of Layne Western Co. of Minnesota in Minneapolis and had looked at pumps in Minneapolis and had conferred with Mr.Lee Rogers, a representative of Layne Western Co. of Minnesota, as to price, type, and installation, date of delivery, etc., and had invited Mr.Rogers to attend a meeting of the Board of Water Commissioners to be held at Stillwater on the evening of December 1,1941, to present price and all details in connection with the proposal to install a new pump. General Manager Grove reported that in his opinion a rather serious emergency existed. He stated that under ordinary conditions there was plenty of water to supply all needs but in case of a bad . fire or break -down of the North Third Street Station pumping equipment a serious condition would be created. Mr.Kleinschnitz then called on Mr.Rogers to present his proposal for the furnishing of a new pump. Mr.Rogers informed the Board that the Layne Western Co. of Minnesota could furnish a pump of 900 gallons per minute and that they would install, said pump at the Owen and Laurel Street Station for the sum of Sixteen hundred and Fifty dollars ($1650.00), Mr.Rogers also stated that he anticipated an increase of tem per - cent after December First. He said that if a copper air line was wanted they would install the same for an additional cost of approximately Twenty -five dollars (25.00), Mr.Rogers also stated that in his opinion a new base_plate should be installed and said they would furnish a suitable base plate for the sum of Sixty dollars, ($p60.00), Mr.Rogers also advised the Board that the present electric motor should be sent to the General Electric Repair plant in Minneapolis. The motor should be taken apart and thoroughly checked by an expert at said repair shop with a representative of the, Board. Mr.Rogers stated that in the event the said electric motor was in such shape that repairs would be found not advisable the Company would furnish a new motor and other equipment aforementioned and install same for the total sum of Twenty -one hundred and Thirty -five dollars, ($2135.00), After a lengthy discussion Commissioner Nelson moved that the proposal of Layne Western Co. of Minnesota be accepted and President Kleinschnitz authorized to sign the contract with Layne Western Co. of Minnesota for the furnishing of the aforesaid equipment and General Manager Grove be instructed to imMediately hate the electric motor taken to the repair shop of the General Electric Co. of Minneapolis for a thorough check as advised by Mr.Rogers. • Said motion was duly seconded by Commissioner Simonet, all voting "Aye".

General Manager Grove reported that he had prepared a list of Improvements for new work that could be done under the Public Works Reserve and presented said list to the Board. Commissioner Nelson was of the opinion that there should be an increase in said list to include the raising of the North and South hill water tanks in order to give better water pressure to the residents living on the high elevations of the City.

March. 9, 1942. Regular Meeting. All Commissioners present. President Kleinschnitz presiding. Minutes of regular meeting held February.9,1942, read and approved. General Manager Grove reported that as per :instructions at the last meeting he had made an investigation regard- ing the advisability of diesel over gasoline engines as power for a standby for the North Third Street Station. He also stated that he had been advised against a diesel engine for a plant such as the size of this one. For cowparative purposes he also presented quotations for a diesel equipped pump amounting to Twenty -five hundred Twenty -seven dollars (2527.00). In a quotation for a gasoline equipped pump the amount was Sixteen hundred Fifty -five dollars, ( 1655.00), which shows that the diesel equipment would cost approximately Eight Hundred Seventy -one dollars,(;871.00),niore than the gasoline type. Mr.Grove stated that in his -pinion tine purchase of a gasoline motor equipped pump would be advisable. The Board then entered into a discussion of the matter and General Manager Grove was instructed to make further investigation and report to the , Board at our next regular meeting. The matter o2 increasing the wages came up for ,iscussion. Mr.Grove stated that the men employed by the Board could really be classified as skilled labor and would no doubt be hard to replace. He then presented a statement showing each employee's earnings for the year 1941. He also stated that in talking to managers of other water works plants he found that in most instances both the lay and salaried workers were granted an increase for the duration of the war. It seemed to be the opinion of the Board that something should be done along these lines. The matter,However, by unanimous consent was laid over until the next meeting. General Manager Grove reported that the water works and sewer school would be held at the TTniversity of Minnesota the week of March 16. He recommended that Herbert W.Lange be instructed 1 1 i to attend the water works, sewer, and plumbing school and he asked permission of the Board to attend the Water Works School.On motion of Commissioner Simonet,seconded by Commissioner Nelson,all voting "Ayer" Mr.Grove and Mr.Herbert W.Lange were instructed to attend said school and the expense to be paid by the Board of Water Commissioners..

Regular Meeting All Commissioners present. President Kleinschnitz presiding. Minutes of regular meeting held March.9,1942, read and approved. General Manager Grove reported that he had applied to the War Production Board, ashington, D.C. for a preference rating for the purchase of an auxilary pump and engine for the North Third Street Station and nothing could be done in regard to advertising for bids until a satisfactory rating was granted. President Kleinschnitz stated that if and when said preference rating was granted he would call a special meeting. Mr.Grove reported that a child by the name of Palmer had fallen into the reservoir at McKusick Lake and his mother had rescued him. This accident had been reported to the R.W.McGarry and Son Insurance Agency,who handle our liability insurance. Mr.Grove stated as far as he could ascertain the accident was not serious and neither the mother or child had suffered any ill effects. He also stated for official record that all members of the Water Board and himself had made an inspection of said property on Sunday morning April. 1942, and while the Board assumed no responsibility General Manager Grove was instructed to fence off that part of said reservoir where there seemed to be some danger or possibility of a reoccurance of a like accident.

Regular Meeting All Commissioners present. President Kleinschnitz -J presiding. Minutes of regular meeting held Apri1.13,1942, read and approved. Mrs. Mary Cole and Mrs. Edward Berglund residing at 114 and 115 South Martha Street appeared before the Board requesting that water services be laid in the street in front of their property so that they could avail themselves of the use of the city water. They were informed by the Board that laying of a water main in said street was out of the question at present and that if they wanted the city water they would have to pay the total cost of installation. General Manager Grove was then instructed by the Board to make an estimate of the cost of said installation and notify Mrs.Cole and Mrs. Berglund. General Manager Grove reported for official record that President Kleinschnitz, Commissioner Nelson,,, and himself,had attended the Minnesota Conference meeting of the American Water Works Association held at Mankato,Minnesota, on Apri1.25,1942, and that they had also inspected Diesel equipment and other pumping equipment at Lake Crystal and Mankato and that in his opinion the trip was highly successful and some valuable information was gained. General Manager Grove reported that the application of the Board of Water Commissioners to the War Production Board for a P.D. 1 priority rating for a new pump and diesel engine had been turned down under date of April.9,1942,Case No.608676. Mr.Grove then stated that after consulting members of the Board and under date of April.22,1942, he had again written to the War Production Board directing the letter to the attention of Mr.J.A.Krug,Chief Power Manager, advising hire that the purchase of a second hand pump for our requirements would be impossible but if they would re -open the case and grant us a preference rating for a pump alone he would try to purchase a second hand power unit to operate the pump for the duration of the war. Mr.Grove reported that on May 9 the Board received a notice that they had been granted an A -3 priority for the purchase of one centrifugal pump. 89 .Grove stated that on May.11 he called R.B.Whitacre & Co.,Inc., at St.Paul, agent for the Dean Hill Pump Co. regarding date of delivery & etc., and was informed that the best shipment possible would be ten to twelve weeks, subject to Government regulations, providing the order was placed at once. After considerable discussion on motion duly seconded and carried, President A.W.Kleinschnitz and General Manager Grove were instructed to purchase one Dean Hill pump exactly the same as the Dean Hill pump now operating at the North Third Street Station. Mr.Grove reported that he had erected a woven barbed wire fence on the east and south end of the McKusick Lake reservoir. He said that in his opinion it would not be necessary to construct any other fence at present. The matter of wage and salary increases for employees of the Board of Water Commissioners again came up for discussion. General Manager Grove and Secretary McKusick were asked to retire while the Board discussed the issue. The Board then went into secret session and entered into a discussion after which Messrs Grove and McKusick were called back to the meeting. President Kleinschnitz stated that the Board had agreed to increase the salaries and wages of all its employees for the duration of the war,'as follows: General Manager Grove, increase of $20.00 per month &car allowance. Secretary McKusick, increase of $10.00 per month Margaret. B.Nordstrom,Treasurer,increase to $120.00 per year. Foreman William Pozzini,increase of $10.00 per Month,no overtime Ivleter reader H.W.Lange,increase of $5.00 per months. &.overtime All other regular employees to be paid at the rate of sixty- cents per hour. The wages of extra help to be set by General Manager Grove at Forty -five to Fifty -five cents per hour. Overtime at regular pay. Effective May.1,1942. For duration of war. Mr.Grove reported that Dr.Kalinoff during the month of Decerber, 1941, had an exceptionally large water bill. He stated that a thorough investigation of this case had been made and that the meter was correct and no leaks had been found but that he was under the impression that the water had been wasted by some of the tenants in the building. He said that this fact was further brought out by the fact that after a check up and inspection the consumption of the water in said building dropped below normal indicating of course that someone had been wasting the water. Mr.Grove said that Dr.Kalinoff had asked him to bring this to the attention of the Board and asked him that a readjustment be made in this case. After some discussion General Manager Grove was instructed to make further investigation and settle- ment with Dr.Kalinoff. 90 Mr.Grove reported that the National meeting 'of-the American Water Works Association would be held in Chicago,Illinois, the week of June.21,1942, He stated that this was a very important meeting and would deal largely of war time problems, priorities, and substitute materials of considerable importance to water works management. No official action was taken in the matter at this meeting although Mr.Grove was instructed to write for reservations and bring it up again at the next meeting of the Board.

Minutes of regular meeting held August I0,1942,read and approved. Secretary McKusick reported to the Board that after paying all bills presented at this meeting there would be a net balance of $14,443.94 in addition to the Five Thousand Dollars, ($5,000.00), already in certificates of deposit at the First National Bank, Stillwater. The question then arose as to how soon work could be commenced on the new improvements, namely: a new pump, pump house, and well, to augment the present Owen Street system; also installation of new standby equipment for the Third Street system. General Manager Grove said that the new pump for the Third Street Station was supposed to be shipped_ from the factory`on September 17. He said it was questionable, however, whether delivery would be made on the promised date. He also stated that in his opinion and through his inquiries to the War Production Board thst new construction and the purchase of new equipment would probably be delayed for some time unless an emergency arose. He stated that it might be one year or possibly longer before the work could be started due to war conditions. All members present felt that something should be done to safeguard and lay aside a sum of money to meet the expense of these improvements as soon as we were able to go ahead. Mr.Simonet offered the following resolution: Resolution No. 4 RESOLUTION PERTAINING TO THE PURCHASE OF SERIES F GOVERNMENT BONDS. RESOLVED, that the Board of Water commissioners of the City of Stillwater must as soon as possible construct and install a new well, pump house, and necessary equipment to augment the Owen Street System and install new standby pump and equipment at the Third Street station and make other extensive improvements to the water works system as a whole, and, 1 WHEREAS, due to conditions existing by reason of the war and the uncertainty of getting priorities or permission from the War Production Board to proceed with the new construction and purchase equipment, this Board feels that in all probability permission may be granted at any time and it is the opinion of this Board that funds should be set aside to help defray part of the cost of the new work, which in the opinion of General Manager Grove will amount to approximately Thirty Thousand Dollars, (30,000.00), NOW THEREFORE, be it resolved by the Board of Water Commissioners that the Secretary be and is hereby instructed to issue a warrant on the Treasurer in the sum of Eight Thousand Eight Hundred Eighty dollars, (08,880.00), payable to the First National Bank of Stillwater,for which said Secretary is further instructed to purchase Twelve Series -F- United States Government Bonds which mature -in Twelve years at One Thousand dollars, (01,000.00), each.

Mr.Grove said that although this letter was written to said Company on October 23 as yet he had not received any answer. Mr.Charles A.Lammers, agent for the Fidelity & Casualty Co. of New York, who has the insurance on Our boilers,had mailed in two endorsements or riders to be attached to our present boiler insurance policy. This rider will exempt said Company from any damage to the boilers by reason of strike, riot, civil commotion and acts of malicious mischief or any damage caused by any military action in this vicinity.. The Board took no action in this matter and said endorsements were laid on the table. Mr.Grove reported that our new pump for the Third Street Station had not been received but thought likely it would be delivered in the very near future. Mr.Grove also reported that he had called on Mts. A.R. Kreuger in regard to the delinquent water bill at her building on North Main Street formerly occupied by the Kreuger Meat Company. He said he had been unable to collect the bill up to this time and had been advised by Mrs. Kreuger to turn off the water at said building. He also said that Mrs.Kreuger asked him to convey to the Board her thanks and appreciation for the courtesies extended by the Board. General Manager Grove also reported that he had been contacted by the Secretary of the American Water Works Association, members of the War Production Board, and also members of the State Board of Health inviting him to attend a meeting made up of a group of some thirty or more towns around Ortonvilio, which was to be the first meeting of its kind held in the State for the purpose of organizing groups •t'or the purpose of an co- operative exchange of vital water works repairs which are now in many instances impossible to purchase.

Passed July.11,1944. President Secretary. 143 General Manager Grove reported that he was working on the matter of the purchase of lots near the well and spring but as yet had not made much headway but perhaps could have something to report at the next meeting. He also stated that as per instructions of the Board at the last meeting he had contacted the Washington County Co- Operative Association and informed them that there would be a rental charge of Ten dollars per month beginning July.1,1944, if they wished to use the lot south of their filling station on North Second Street. Mr.Grove said that Mr.Peterson, manager of the said Association, had informed him that he would contact the members of the Board. Mr.Grove also stated that said association had stopped using the lot in question as soon as they were notified of the rental charge. Mr.Grove then asked the Board if he should fence in the lot in question but members of the Board were of the opinion that the Washington County Co- Operative Association should again be contacted in regard to a compromise in the question of the lot. Mr.Grove informed the Board that Mrs. George Haas, 515 North everett Street, had made a request for turning on the water at that address. Mr.Grove stated that there was an old bill against the property amounting to 33.20, and that he had informed Mrs. Haas that this bill would have to be paid before service could be again turned on. Mrs. Haas through Mr.Grove asked the Board if there was some way in which said bill could be reduced. She stated that the building was in a bad state of repair and that she would have to spend considerable money to make it fit to live in. She also felt that she should not pay the old bill, which she had not contracted. After much discussion and careful consideration it was unanimously agreed by the Board that the bill be reduced to one -half of the amount and Mrs. Haas be instructed that she should pay $11.20 plus Four dollars minimum charge before the water is turned on. Commissioner Peaslee brought up the matter of making a charge for turning on and off the water. He said that in his opinion Three dollars would be a fair charge. He further stated that he felt it was not fair to the other consumers who did not close up their homes for the winter, and that it took a man and truck perhaps an hour and sometimes much longer to turn off the water and the same held true when the water was again turned on. The other members of the Board 144 were of the same opinion. Manager 4rove staged in answer to question; that when a house is vacated during cold weather that the water should be turned off. He stated that the meter should be taken out to prevent damage from freezing and as a safety measure for the protection of the property owner who had to stand the expense. After some discussion and consideration General Manager Grove was instructed to write to other cities in our class and ascertain their practice in the matter. All commissioners having approved each individual bill, Commissioner Simonet offered the following resolution, which was adopted, all. voting "Aye" Resolution No. 519 RESOLVED,by the Board of.

On motion of Commissioner Simonet, duly seconded, all voting "Aye" the.

Mr. J.A Goggin, Mr.Joseph Becker and Mr.Thomas Becker representing the Stillwater War Industries and the owners of the Old Prison Property on north main street were present by invitation of the Board to discuss water mains and water service lines lying in and bn said property. President Kleinschnitz stated that in accordance with thb action of the Board at its last regular meeting held March.13, 1945, it had been the opinion of the Board that water consumers located on the Old Prison Property should be put on the same basis as other consumers in the City, naively: that the property owner shall install and maintain at their own expense all water mains ans services from the water main in a public street to and through private property. M .Kleinschnitz also stated that it was the intention of the Board to make a charge for all fire hydrants located on private property. Mr.Goggin then stated that they were perfectly willing to pay the same rates and charges as other consumers in the City. He further stated that the Board of Water Commissioners had never made a charge for hydrants or maintenance of the water mains on said property heretofore. Mr.Goggin also stated that he had upon investigation found that the fire hydrants were of no great value to them meaning only about six dollars saving in fire insurance rags. Mr.Joseph Becker then stated that there was a dual system of pipe lines in the said property and their_ company had no use for more than one water service. After a general discussion it was agreed that thf. Board of Water Commissioners would take out of service at their own expense all fire hydrants located on said property,cut off all unnecessary main lines, anti. that the Board of Water Commissioners would deed or convey title to the owners of said property all water r®s mains, pipes and attachments thereof, excepting water meters, to the owners of said property all lying in and on said Old Prison Property beginning on the west property line of North Main Street and running thence westerly. General Manager Grove was instructed to remove hydrants, etc., in accordance with the Board's action as soon as possible. Mr.A .W.Kleinschnitz brought up the matter of a raise in water rents and after some discussion it was agreed that inasmuch as the City Council of the City of Stillwater had not as yet passed a resolution recommending a raise in rates and due to the fgct the complete data was not available at this time the matter was laid over until the next regular meeting of the Board in May. General Manager Grove was instructed by the Board to write to Cities of approximately the same population as the City of Stillwater to find out what rates they were charging and to furnish at this same meeting the number of minimum rates in the City and any other data available which would help the Board to establish a new rate structure. Mr. Grove stated that in regard to the new well and pump he had been so busy that he had been unable to make further headway in obtaining the additional supply. General Manager Grove stated that due to an increase in wages that the Petty Cash Account, amounting to Seven hundred Fifty Dollars, ($750.00), should be raised to One Thousand Dollars, ($1,000.00), On motion of Commissioner Simonet, duly seconded secretary McKusick was instructed to issue a warrant in amount of Two Hundred Fifty Dollars,( p250.00), and transfer same to the Petty Cash Account.

After some discussion it was unanimously decided by the Board that the matter of said boiler be turned over to Commissioner Peaslee. Commissioner Simonet reported that a Mr.Westphal living on West Stillwater Avenue had been in to see him complaining that he had been. unable to have sewer and water extended from North First Street to his property at North Broadway and asked the reason. Mr.Grove informed the Board that during the war he had tried to obtain permission under Government Regulations to make such extension but had been turned down. When the matter came up again-. early this Spring he had discovered that said job was considered a new extension and that under a new law passed by the Legislature no city in our class could make such extension without - permission of the State Board. This ruling pertained only to cities which did not have sewer disposal plants. Mr.Grove also stated that said job was a large job nearly Three hundred feet with t he possibility of encountering rock. He also stated that agitation for 207 widening of Main Street and streets in the commercial district made it imperative that only small jobs be started If the City proceeded with the work in said streets all new installations would have to be dropped and the work of moving hydrants and curb boxes in the ccmmiercigl district be started at once and be finished before the widening of the streets was started.

Both of these representatives of the Water Board wanted to find out whether the Board could legally raise the water rates in Stillwater for the purpose of producing a profit to be turned over to the City of Stillwater. Both of these Assistant Attorney Generals expr d these conclusions: Linder a►ur @barter the Water Board. exclusive control of the system of water works in the City. B. The Board has the rate making power and may aise rated whenever they see fit*providing in their lodgment such raise is for the legitimate needs of the Water Board. To turn any profit which the Board may make on operating the water works over to the City, is not a legit mats need. of the Water Board, and the Board is without legal authority to turn over any eucsh moneys. Very Truly yours, RALPH W. MOUTH City Att Stillwater,Minnesota,October.10,1947. Regular meetings The regular meeting of the Board of Water Commissioners was held on Friday October.10,1947. Al]. Commissioners present. President Kleinschnitz presiding. Minutes of last regular meeting held September.5, 1947, read and approved. A letter was presented from attorney Ralph McGrath in which he stated that according to Assistant attorneys Stone and Huestis any profit transferred from this Department to the City would not be legal. A motion was made and seconded that General Manager Grove be instructed to notify the City Clerk by letter of the findings of the Attorney General. Mr.Verne Keech and Mr.Reuben Peterson were present at this meeting in regard to the drive-way belonging to the Trinity iirangelical Lutheran Church. Mr.Keech and Mr.Peterson said that the Board of Water Commissionera had been usingthis drive-way for a number of years and felt it no more than right that the Board of Water Commissioners help to keep it up. Mr.Peterson said that in his opinion he felt that the Board of Water Commissioners should cement said drive-way. There was some doubt in the minds of the members of the Board as to whether this could be legally done and General Manager Grove was instructed to contact City Attorney McGrath to get his opinion together withthe Attorney General's opinion if necessary and report at our next meeting on November 7, 1947.

P,M..0PrimionersjPeablee and Kleinschnitz present. President KleinschhitZstated that this meeting was called to comply with the request of the Planning Board to discuss the possibility of furnishing water to help maintain the level of Lily Lake in case of the development of a bathing beach theres4t. He also stated that plans and specifications for the new pump house on North Second and Mulberry streets would be presented by General Manager Grove for the approvalnd action±of the Board. Messrs Eugene LehnickeandGeorge Pozzini of the Stillwater Planning Board were present. Mr.Kleinschnitz then called on Mr.Lehmicke to tell the Board of their rdquest. Mr.Lehmicke then Stated that there was a popular demand for the development of a Lathing beachat Lily Lake and to raise and hold the level of said lake one foot. Mr.Lehnicke said that there were only three ways of securing the necessary amount of,water: No.1, by running a pipe line from McKusick Lake to Lily Lake. No.2,by constructing a deep Well and other pumping equipment at Lily Lake. No.3, by supplying water from the City ains. He stated that an association had been 'formed to promote the project and that the association had presented and outlined tentative plans for such a development. Mr.LehMicke stated that Mr .Frank Mayer of the Northern States Power Co. after careful investigation had found that in order to maintain Lily Lake at a desirable level it would require between. thirteen and fourteen million gallons of water per year. Mr.Lehmicke stated that the cost of the first proposition would be almost prohibitive. Number two project would also cost in the neighborhood of $5,000.00, and number three,Mr.Lehnicke stated in his opinion that a supply of water from the City mains appeared the best from his point of view. General Manager Grove was then called upon by the Board to explain his opinion of such a proposal. Mr.Grove then stated 248 that Lily Lake comprised approximately Forty acres or a total area of 1,742.400 square feet. In order to raise and hold the level of Lily Lake bne foot would require between thirteen and fourteen million gallons of water and due to peak hours and to maintain high demand the water could only be supplied during the months of April,. May and September, if at all, and in order to do this properly it would require the supply of thirteen million gallons of water or a total of 720 hours to supply that amount of water or one-third thetotal hours available in three months at eight hours per day. Mr.Grove stated further that Lily Lake was in the low pressure area on the system and 300 gallons per minute from this system would create a heavy draft and lowering of the pressure. He further stated that the Lakeview.Memorial Hospital was located in this area and at times are unable to get water on the third floor. In conclusion Mr.Grove Stated that in his opinionr that present conditions of the water works systentwould make it inadvisable: and_impossible to supply that amount of water. After considerable discussion by all present it was the unanimous opinion of the Board that the water could not be supplied. Mr.Lehmicke and Mr. Pozzini then left. General Manager Grove reported that it was possible that the new well would be finished in a very short time and that the construction of a suitable pump house must now be considered.He then presented plans and specifications for such a pump house. After some discussion and upon motion of Commissioner Peaslee, all voting Aye, General Manager Grove was authorized and instructed to advertise for bids for the new pump houseto be opened at a deferred regular meeting to be held on Thursday Apri1.15,1948. There being no further business the Board adjourned. Attest: -0114-400C444AL.4 Secretary AFFIDAVIT OF PUBLICATION IN STILLWATER EVENING GAZETTE STATE OF MINNESOTA t ss.

By order of the Board of Water Com- missioners of Stillwater, Minn. By H.. S. GROVE, 3113ZVO ONIN3A3 U31VM1111S NI 0 NOIiVO1l8fld .0 11AVOIU4V 249 Stillwater,Minnesota, April. 15, 1948. Regular meeting: Deferred regular meeting was held this 15th day of April, 1948, by common consent of all of the members of the Board. All Commissioners present. President Kleinschnitz presiding. Minutes of regular meeting held March.. 8, 1948, and special meeting'held April.2,1948, were read and approved. General Manager Grove reported that in accordance wits the instruction of the Board at its meeting held on Friday, April 2:, 1948, he had advertised for bids on a pump house for the new well. He stated that the general conditions together with work to be done had been carefully prepared and the form approved by City Attorney McGrath. He also stated that he had shown the plans to Mr. Q.E.Brownell of the State Board of Health and had assurance ..,,that they would be approved. He further stated that on Wednesday Apri-1 =.14, X948; he had been informed that a local contractor had objected to the plans as they now stood. Mr.Grove stated that he had immediately made a thorough investigation by contacting the three constractors who had asked for and received the specifications. He had also contacted another architect and in a final analysis found, first, that all the contractors objected to the guarantee clause in the general conditions of the specifications and other parts thereof. Mr. Ed. Hanson,who was present at the request of the Board, was questioned as to his opinion in the matter. Mr.Hanson stated that most contracts or specifications contain no such clause. After due consideration and discussion Commissioner Peaslee moved that the guarantee clause be removed from the specifications. Motion was seconded by Commissioner Simonet,all voting Aye. General Manager Grove then stated that the construction of the chimney as part of the wall was not approved by two contractors and. one architect who were of the opinion that it constituted poor or faulty construction. Mr.Grove also stated that the building was to be fully insulated and that the mean average 250 temperature to be maintained inside the building would be about fifty degrees fahrenheit. An oil or coal heater could be used to prevent the lines from freezing. until such time as suitable electric heating was available. Mr.Hanson then stated. that in his opinion the construction of the chimney as planned would be safe and that there was very little possibility of expansion and contraction enough to cause cracking, etc., He felt, however, that in view of the opposition it would perhaps be advisable to change the planned type of chimney construction. The matter was discussed at some length..On motion of Commissioner Simonet, seconded by Comniss.ioner Peaslee,all voting Aye, Manager Grove was instructed to have the plans changed to comply with Mr.Hanson's suggestion. Mr.Grove stated that one contractor and one architect considered bonding of the outer wall and the inside tile with copperweld wall ties very poor construction practice. Mr.Hanson stated that the copper ties specified in the specifications were fairly new in this area. He further stated that since the building is not large the copper bearing ties would bond the inner tile and the outer wall securely, last indefinitely,. and eliminate any possibility of sweating or transmitting heat or cold as might be the case when using a masonary bond. After careful consideration and due deliberation it was the unanimous opinion of the Board that this part of the plans and specifications constituted good building practice and that they not be changed. Manager Grove stated that the next objection or criticism was in the construction of the roof slab,mainly that no allowance had been made for expansion or contraction. Some contractors were of the opinion that expansion strips should be placed in the slab. Mr.Grove stated that the roof slab would not be constructed of an ordinary concrete. It would be contructed of pine cdment and zonolite. He was of the opinion that the contractors were not familiar with this new type of construction. Mr.Hanson was then asked to give his opinion in regard to this matter. He responded by stating that the roof slab small, less than 24 x 20 feet, that zonolite itself mixed with cement would not expand or contract, and finally that many much larger regular concrete slabs contain no expansion joints. The matter was discussed jointly at some length. The final unanimous opinion of the Board was that this part of the plane and specifications be unchanged. Manager Grove stated that the final criticism was in regard to the interior tile. Very careful consideration had been given t o this part of the construction. Plastering had been considered first,but the little difference in cost had been more than off -set by the by the maintenance cost such as painting, etc. over a long period of years. He further stated that the inside appearance of.a pumping station should be mainly from a point of maintenance and sanitation, but in his opinion first cost is not always the cheapest in the long run. When asked why a cheaper salt glazed tile could. not be used ,he stated that a cheaper grade could be used but he would not recommend it. Mr.Hanson then produced figures to show the difference in cost between the tile specified and a salt glazed commercial type of tile. The difference in cost appeared to be about 0140.00 Mr.Hanson stated that he preferred the type specified chiefly because of its beautiful finish and superior quality. He said that it would be a much better looking job and more economical in the long run. After much discussion Commissioner Peaslee moved that a clause be inserted in the specifications requesting the bidders to bid an alternate on furnishing Hy -Tex salt glazed tile in 'place of the Stark N 0.904 clear glaze tile. Commissioner Simonet seconded the motion, all voting Aye. Manager Grove was dnstructed to add such alternate to the specifications. General Manager Grove,for the records of this meeting, stated that after learning of the objections and criticism of the plans and specifications and in order to give fair and thorough consideration to the points heretofore stated that he had requested the construction firms to withhold their bids until notification as to the action of the Board at this meeting._: This action was approved by the Board. Commissioner Peaslee then moved the plans and specifications for the new pump houe on North Second Street be changed to comply with the actions of the Board at this meeting and that the General Manager be and is hereby authorized and 2 instructed to advertise for bids for-the construction of the said pump house to be opened at a special meeting to be held by this Boar: on Friday April. 23, 1948, at Five o'clock P.M. Motion seconded by : Commissioner Simonet, all voting Aye. Commissioner Simonet stated that Mr.Tuenge of the Frosty Food Lockers, 312 South Main Street,had contacted him complaining about a large water bill at their place of business on January.1,1948. Manager Grove stated that the bill had been large and that he called the meter into the shop for testing. The meter was found to be O.K. The meter wns then moved from its old location in the next building to the store basement proper where the owners of the store might easily check and watch for large consumption. Mr.Grove said.that the water.registered.on the meter had perhaps been , wasted by faulty valves, etc. on the storage refrigeration units. This was through no fault of the Board and therefore he could not recommend any adjustment of the bill. Commissioner Simonet said that he would again see Mr. Tuenge and see what he could do about this matter General Manager Grove reported that the truck liability insurance now carried was for $20,000 - $30,000 and recommended higher coverage. On motion of Commissioner Peaslee, all voting Aye,the secretary was instructed to have said insurance increased to $50,000.- $100,000. It was unanimously agreed by the Board that action on an increase in salary for all employees be deferred to the special meeting on Apri1.23, 1948. General Manager Grove reported that in his opinion the new well was 80% completed and to the best of his knowledge and belief he certified to that effect. All Commissioners having approved each individual bill, Commissioner Peaslee offered the following resolution, which was adopted, all voting"Ayen AFFIDAVIT OF PUBLICATION IN STILLWATER EVENING GAZETTE STATE OF MINNESOTA County of Washington Ned Easton being first duly sworn, on oath says: That he is, and dur- ing all the times herein stated has been a part owner an'd one of the pub- lishers of the newspaper known as Stillwater Evening Gazette, and has full knowledge of the facts hereinafter stated; that for more than one year prior Notice to Contractors -to the publication therein of the ........ _....._ ............. __...._...... _.... ......... _............. _...._...... _.._._...._...._....... __.. hereinafter described, said newspaper was printed and published in the City of iStillwater, in the County of Washington) State of Minnesota, on five days of each week; that during all said time said newspaper has been printed in the English language from its known office of publication within the said City of Stillwater from which it purports to be issued as above stated in newsaper format and in column and sheet form equivalent in space to at least 450 running inches of single column, two inches wide; has been issued five days, (Monday through Friday) each week from a known office estab- lished in said place of publication and employing skilled workmen and equip- ped with the necessary material for preparing and printing the same and the presswork on that part of the newspaper devoted to local news of inter- est to the community which it purports to serve, was done! in its known of- fice of publication; that during all said time in its makeup not less than twenty -five per cent of its news columns have been devoted to local news of interest to the community it purports to serve; that during all said time it has not wholly duplicated any other publication, and has not been entirely made up of patents, plate matter and advertisements; has been circulated in and near its said place of publication to the extent of at least two hun- dre'd and forty(240) copies regularly delivered to paying subscribers and has entry as second class matter in its local post office; an'di that there has been on file in the office of the County Auditor of Washington County, Minneso- ta, the affidavit of a person having knowledge of the facts, showing the name and location of said newspaper an'd the existence of the conditions constitut- ing its qualifications as a legal newspaper.

General Manager Grove as instructed by the Board on .May.7,1948, reported that he had made a settlement with Mr.David ,Carlson, Register No. 1659, located at 816 West Oak Street, for $96.45 On motion of Commissioner Peaslee, duly seconded, all voting "Aye ", this action was approved and the secretary was instructed to make the 'proper entry. Mr.Grove also reported on the I..L.Moe'house,located at 513 West Mulberry Street, and on motion duly made and seconded, all voting "Aye ", the secretary was instructed to cancel the charges of $6.20 against said property for reasons as staged in the minutes of the May.7,1948 meeting. General Manager Grove also reported that according to a letter received from Mrs. Edward Monty, R.R.No.1, Stillwater, she had made an overpayment of $5.00 on her bill January. .1,1948, for water consumed at 1214 South First Street and stated that under date of May.10,1948, the secretary had written a letter to Mrs. Monty advising her that at the next meeting of the Board would get authorization to refund the overpayment of $5.00, and on motion of Commissioner Peaslee, duly seconded, all voting "Aye" the secretary was instructed to draw a warrant on the City Treasurer for $5.00 and refund to her the amount overpaid. The secretary then read a letter from G.W.Olsen, the Successful contractor for the Second Street pumping station wherein Mr.Olsen_ stated that due to conditions beyond his control and through no.fault of his the work would be delayed on the construction of said pumping station and for reasons stated, as follows, he said the Twin City Brick Co.,who had promised delivery of the tile could not make delivery for perhaps three of fpur weeks. General Manager Grove stated that he had checked with Mr.Folsom of the Twin City Brick Co. and the Bluff City Lumber Co. and knew the facts to be true. After a general 257 discussion Commissioner Peaslee moved that the time for completion of said pump house be extended due to reasons and causes aforesaid and that General Manager Grove be hereby instructed and authorized to extend the time for completion of the work to the number of days delayed by reasons stated. This motion, duly seconded, was carried, all voting "Aye" General Manager Grove reported that when Mr.George Olsen, general contractor, dug down to put in the foundation for the new pump house he discovered that the soil was quite soft. Mr.Olsen called this to our attention and after consulting Mr.Hansen, the architect, and Mr. J.A.D. Abercrombie, City Engineer, and others, it was the unanimous opinion that the footings should be made wider and that additional 3/4 inch reinforcing rods be installed in place of the, rods called for in the specifications. General Manager Grove reported to the Board he had authorized and instructed Mr.Olsen to do this extra work. On motion of Commissioner Peaslee, duly seconded, all voting "Aye ", the action taken by Mr.. Grove was unanimously approved. General Manager. Grove also reported that the League of Minnesota Municipalities would hold its meeting at Faribault beginning June.14 to 16, inclusive. On motion of Commissioner Peaslee, duly seconded,all voting "Aye ,President Kleinschnitz and General Manager Grove were authorized to attend the meeting. The bill of Layne- Minnesota Co. showing a balance due on the North Second Street well of 6111557.30 was presented and checked very carefully by members of the Board. The total cost of drilling and completing the well on contract of Layne- Minnesota 'Co.. was 623,335.75 and the payment made under date of May.7,1948, Resolution No. 570, was $11,778.45, leaving a balance of $11,557.30 Mr.Grove stated that the well was drilled to a total depth of 440 Feet, which was 125 feet deeper than plans called for. This was due to the fact that only Thirty feet of Galesville sandstone was encountered. Mr.Grove stated that Mr.Schwartz of the Department of Geology at the University of Minnesota,who had been consulted, and planned the depth of the well had originally stated that there should be Seventy to eighty feet of Galesville Sandstone. 258. Mr.Grove stated for the records of this meeting that only Thirty feet of Galesville Sandstone was encountered which would not give enough water. He stated he then held a consultation with Mr.Schwartz and Mr.Theil of the Department of Geology and on their recommendation and after consulting with all members of the Board the Layne- Minnesota Co. through its President, Mr.Lee Rogers, had instructed the said Layne- Minnesota Co. through its President, Mr.Lee Rogers, to continue drilling the twenty -three inch open hole to an additional depth of 125 Feet.

President Kleinschnitz teen asked Mr.Grove if such a delay would in any way inconvenience the Board_and.he,.rep.ied that it would not inconvenience the Board in any way as the.
