trailer in the yard is a source of filth. Mayor Hurd asked if the owner ff'equents
the place. The group answered yes. Trustee Middleton said that he and Jim Dahl
did some work cleaning up there. Someone asked if he had seen the open cesspool.
He said no - she has no electricity or gas. Someone of the group said there
were open cans of food all around. Trustee Bolmgren asked if we should turn
the matter over to the State Fire Marshal. Mayor Hurd said no. If our Fire
Marshal has power, he should enforce same. Chief Williams has checked and under-
stands Mr. Dahl is due back now. The following are the things the group want
done:
1. Place cleaned up.
2. Want Council to do something. Dr. Darby says it is a menance
to health.
3. The house should be painted to help the appearance of the community.
The lawn should be cut.
4. See that sanitation provisions are followed.
Mayor Hurd said that Dr. Darby has the power to clean up unsanitary
condition, but we do not have the power to order the house painted. The group
said all they want is to have fire and health hazards eliminated.
By agreement, the Fire Chief and Health Officer are to contact the owner
of this property as soon as possible when she returns, and use the powers of their
respective offices to get this property cleaned up.
