Gentlemen:
"l
I wish to report that owing to the increased load demands at
the City Power Plant and Water Works that it will be necessary to
ext~nd the present power plant building to accommodate further
expa~sion and to meet the above conditions.
In order that there be no further delay in this program, I
v'iQuld like to recommend the purchase of g round adjacent to the
present power plant.
We have a hot process water softener being shipped to us
soon, which was purchased some time ago, and at the pr"?sent time
do not have room in the present building to install this softener.
This softener is very badly n~eded in the efficient operation of
the Steam Boiler Plant and it is imperative that we install it
soon after arrival.
C~~plete plans for the extension of the building cannot be
made until we know definitely the amount of ground and where it
is located.
Yours truly,
CITY WATER & LIGHT DEPARTMENT
C. W. BURDICK.
On motion of Stafr, seconded by Tripe, report was accepted and

TO THff, MAYOR ANt CITY COUNCIL OF GRAND ISLAND, NEBRASKA.
Your joint cornmitte~ reporting for th~ City Light, ~at~r and Ice
and Strc:;st and Alley Committee, wish to mak'? the follOWing report:
V.e:; hav~ had a me~ting \'.i th Mr. Michelson in regard to various
accounts and r~commend the following:
1. Sidswalks chRrg~d in the amount of $46.76 including int~r~st
on Lot 1, and 2, Block 67 O. T. should be canc~ll~d as this
walk ""as put in by Mr. ~lichelson at his ovm ~xp~ns~ and the:;
City has paid no charge.
2. Occupation tax on Lot 6, Block 79 of the:; (Stratton Eotel)
in th~ amount of $46.87 found to be correct and should be
paid
3. D~linqu9nt water account for Lot 7, Block 58, o. T. (Kri9g~r)
in the amount of $110.28, we recommend that this account be V\av~d
in as much as lVir. lV.i.ich'?lson had notifi<;;d our Wat<;;r D enartmsnt
that this service was to be:; disconn~cte:;d and to his k~owledge:;
it was disconnected but Krieger without the knovde:;dge of Mr.
Mich~lson had paid the delinquent water account accrued
while: under the operation of W<;;inrick Bros. ",'hos,:; ass~ts and
liabiliti~s Mr. ~ri'?g9r took oV'?r.
4. Delinquent water account cov,:;ring Lot 2, Block 67. O. T. (Scott)
which we believe was accru~d prior to the;; sale and did not
show on the city r,:;cords of Grand "'sland as a delinqu~nt
charg~ and that this account should hav~ bEen paid at the time
of sal,:; but in as much as it would not show as a lien W~
belie:;v~ this account should b~ wav~d.
Occupation tax Lot 5, Block 59 o. T. (Grand Island Transtt
Company building) in the amount of $11.12 should be naid.
Lot 7, Block 63, O. T. (Rockwell) in the;; amount of $56.76,
we believ~ this account should be paid in as much as th~
owner, illr. Michelson did not notify th~ Water department in
anv mann'?r.
Curb and Gutt~r tax on Lot 11, Block 1, ~akeview Addition
(204 East ~shton Av.) in the amount of $30.96 including
inter~st should be paid by Mr. Michelson.
8. Paving tax on Lot 11, Block 1, (bakevi<;;w Addition) in th~
amount of $24Q.30 including interest should be paid by Mr.

O. A. Roe's requsst for the use of several lots for the
Durnose of plantine potatoss was dsni~d.
June.: 5, 19Ln.
To th s l\11ayor and
Msmbe.:rs of City Council:
We.:, th<: m~mbers of th~ City Ce.:mets-ry 8>mmitt~~, he.:reby mal{e
the following recommendations:
1. That herc'?forth, all lots or portions thereof, sold at
the cem':?t'?ry, be sold only with p'?rmansnt care, at the folloVling,
rates:
Full 10t-------------------$250.00
Half Lot------------------- 140.00
Quarter Lot--------------- 80.00
Any singl".:' burial space----- 30.00
2. That lot OV\Ders not yet having purchased permanent
care, be given six months within which to pay tile sum of $100.00.
Fractional lots in proportion. In ev<:nt permanent car~ is not
purchased an that basis within six months, it is recommended that
lots of said persons in the amount of one quart~r or more, which
are not being us<::d, be re-sold by the Ci ty and the proceeds there-
of applied to permanent care of the balance of ths Lot.
3. Inasmuch as the: Gi ty has pr"?-viously storsd and set up
equipment nt the; gre.ves, including tents and devices, and this
service has cost the City consid~rabls, it is suggested that the
follo'\ving chargs be made for this service, beginning immediately,
for storing, sstting up and taking down equipment, $10.00. In
connection vith the said eqlJipnl'2nt v;hich is oVln~d by private
individuals, no responsibility for ths safety of said equipmc:mt is
assumed by the City, nor does ths City accept any responsibility for
any damage or other liability that may arise by reason of any use
of said c;quipment in transporting, storing, setting up or taking
dovm said equipL1ent, ths Ci ty acting solsly as the employees of
the ovmers of the equipment.
ir. It is further sugge;stsd tha t the area for acquisi tion
previously designated, be acquired at ths earliest time:, sitter by
purchass or by condemnation.

to Benjamin 'Dilley and his four sons, rsc'3ntly r::::turned from the
service, e.re 'desirous of submitting to the City of Grand Island, the
following proposal for disposIng of the materials hauled to the City
Dump: .
We propose to salvage and clean up each day all rsfus~, garbage,
ane. oth sr ma tel' ia1s, haulsd to th~ dump, e:sc ept such rns. terials as may
have some salvage value, which salvage will be turned over to us as a
part of the consideration of this proposal if accepted. We agree to
keep in repair, paint, and maintain the resLdence now located on the
premises, provided Mr. Dilley and his family ar8 allowed to occupy th9
same as their residence. This would keep them close to their v\ork, and
avoid the hazards nov\ prevailing in th9 deterioration and dc;:;struction of
the building a.nd the hazards of lsaving the sump unoccupied at times.
The City to furnish a bulldozer, caterpiller, and drag line, and
dip: the trench, also furnish fuel oil for the caterpill'sr, and V'ie
will furnish competent operator for same, for rllich we are to re-
ceive the; sum of $100.00 per month in addition to thS' salvage gained
by us. ~e believe that we can cut the present operating costs by
2/3rds of the present cost, and vdll at at all times maintain an
9fficLent system and at the sam.:;; time, cr98.te "Jmploym0nt for sev<.;ral

Inasmuch as the roof over one of the storage rooms at the
City Ice Plant has caved in and it is virtually impossible to
get anyone to bid on the job of replacing the roof, and since
to neglect the repair of this roof will impair the storage facilities
of the plant by approximately 30%, therefore, we your Ice, Water
and Light Committee recommend the committee in conjunction with
the Water Commissioner be given power to hirs some firm to replace
this roof, because we feel we are facing an emergency in the matter.
