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

sent car can be sold. Dempsey's

planning commissions recommen

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.
