I he plan to have the city prob lems appraised is beginning ‘j take shape. The c ity ’’council met last week, it is believed, with a representative of the engineering firm of Cornell, Howland, Hayea and Merry field to discuss the possibility of an appraisal. Ed Aldrich .chairman of a citi zens committee, reported to the council at their regular Tuesday night meeting that the firm will submit a cost of the preliminary survey at an early date. And •hen, if the city approves, th? survey work could begin shortly. Elmer Bankus. owner of the Brookings Water Co. appeared before the council, Bankus stated in a letter that he has confidence in the engineering firm, and that he would sell the Water System nt appraised price, unless it is completely out of line. He re quested the option to reject the •»upraised price if it was out of line, and then he would pay for the cost of the survey . The appraisal would cover storm sewers, sewers, water and streets. Bankus said. he wouldn’t sell • he water system and not the sewes system. and said he wouldn’t “save the sewer system for my old age." Aldrich asked him if he would sell the sewer system without the water system, but Bankus said ho would take it under advisement. Bankus also brought a land plat before the council, asking the!- permission to develop it into resi dential areas. The land is located atop the hili behind the bank building. However, the council asked that it be taken to the plan ning commission, and said that • hey would abide by the commis sions recommendation on the mat ter. , The council also opened bids on a new polire car and accepted the bid of C. Ed Dempsey, for a new Plymouth, provide that the pie- sent car can be sold. Dempsey's hid was about $300 cheaper than the next highest bidder, a Ford An OldsmobLle was also bid upon Police Chief Bud Cross also re quested that nylon tires be put on the vehicle. planning commissions recommen dation that a temporary use per mit be granted the Union Oil Co. in order that they can put up a wholesale bulk oil and gas plant behind their station on Highwav 101. The building would be out of concrete block, and would be fenced in .according to jpccifica- tions. All tanks would be under ground. The new building would cost about $30,000, above the cost of the station which is nearly completed. The station also cost about $30.000. It was tfcvided that some stern enforcement of a fire hazard ordi- nance be called upon. The reldoni used ordinance calls for a $500 fine to be placed on those not complying with the law in bum- ing and cleaning out rubbish, trash, papers etc. A team of in- spectors will make a spot check of the city, in the near future.
