The minutes were read from the previous meeting with 2 corrections requested.
(1) That Walter Damon's reason for overhead utilities, which was that the
easement would not be maintained otherwise, was a non -effective may
to take care of the problem that supposedly overhead utilities would
eliminate.
(2) That the motion was Rot 100% underground utilities in Hillside #5, but
reasonably close to it, so that if they had some lines laid against
the boundaries, and poles already set, that they wouldn't have to
drop down and dig ditches for that too.
Motion Farmer Second Andrew to adopt minutes with these corrections. Motion
carried 5 for 0 against.
A letter from Mrs. Margaret Rainford regarding the park discussion from the
previous meeting was read by the mayor. She thanked the council for listening
to those who spoke, although she knew that the problem had not been completely

park facilities for their neighborhood.

the same as the recommendation of P & Z, with the exception of 6" lines on
