unrisienson servea as secretary.
Mayor Christenson brought : to ;
the attention of the commission,!
the proposed new community can- '
nery. He reported that a commit
tee headed by Leonard Hudson
Smith-Hughes instructor, had ap
proached him for permission to
build a community cannery on
city property at Brown and Schla
dor street. Money for the build
ing, Hudson had said, would be
raised by popular subscription.
The building would cost about
$3000 and would be of hollowtile
structure in harmony with the high
school. As the supervision of the
community cannery comes under
school jurisdiction, Hudson sug
gested that it be adjacent to the
school grounds so that he could
quickly go from class to the build
ing. Hudson has been supervis
or of the cannery for two years.
On motion of C. B. Anderson,
seconded by Mrs. R. A. McClana
than, the commission voted to rec
ommend to the city council that
the city permit the building of
the community cannery on the city
property at that location and that
the city council request the build
ing be attractive and in keeping
with the school setting.
The creation of a sinking fund
for improvement was discussed.
It was pointed out that consider
able work will be necessary on the
water mains, and that the present
upkeep of the system is much
higher now as labor and mater
ials are more costly than some
years ago. The same water rates
are still charged. Mayor Christen
son explained, giving the city no
extra revenue for the additional
expenses. Whether this addi
tional money should be raised by a
bond issue or by a water rate in
crease will be discussed at a pub
lic meeting sometime in April. W.
M. "Jack" Bartlet from the gover
nor's Postwar planning committee
will be invited to lead the discus
sion. Local erty officials will be
present to answer questions on
local problems. Mayor Christen
son will arrange for the exact date
of the meeting and notice will be
sent out to water users.
The commission also voted to
recommend to the city council that
portable stop signs be placed on
Water street at A and at Park dur
ing school hours.
Present at the meeting Monday
night were Rholin Cooley, Lloyd
Larsen, Mrs. Harold Larsen, C. B.
Anderson, Dr. P. A. Loar, Mrs. R.
