Discussion Re: Water in Cesspools and Basements
A group of citizens from the area near Sumter Avenue between 32nd Street
and 33rd Street and Utah Avenue between 33rd Street and 34th Street appeared re-
garding their cesspools and water,in their basements. It waas the feeling of
those who spoke that the Village should have an,ordinance that would require
proper drainage for cesspools --'for instance, 20 ft. depth for cesspools. Also
an ordinance that would allow refusal of building permit if,water table was such
that cesspools would not drain.
Mr. Jenson, 3217 Sumter Avenue talked about the special cesspool built
by Clarence Bros to relieve the trouble in his block, and asked who was respon-
sible for the pumping of this cesspool as it was located in the Village Street.
Trustee Bolmgren said he would check with the Village Engineer and see if
sewer for Oak Hill could be started at once.
The group asked if they could expect the Village to pump out their base-
ments now flooded due to seepage of ground water. They were told that we would
do what we could and the matter would be checked at once.
Complaint Re: Bus Line on Texas Avenue
Mr. Fenchum, 3348 Texas Avenue appeared and stated that the bus line over
Texas Avenue was making the street unbearable. He asked why the meeting re-
garding the extension of this line was held in the morning. He was told that
the Railroad and Warehouse Commission called and conducted the meeting. He
asked if the Bus Company could be assessed for street maintenance and the answer
was no.
Inquiry Re: Alley I ,
Ed. Florhey, 2613 Hampshire Avenue appeared and inquired about the alley
in his block. This matter was referred"to the Village Engineer.` -

On motion of Trustee Bolmgren, seconded by Clerk Justad, in consideration
of the sum of $36.00 to be paid to the Village Treasurer, the Clerk was author-
ized to sign RELEASE OF ALL CLAIMS for damages to property of A. M. Zappa, Sr.
