280 Chief Building Official responded to questions by Council, which included concern as to depth of water evident in the pictures under the structures, as well as with regard to weeds and debris that might remain. Chief Building Official indicated depth of water was unknown, but estimated to be about one foot maximum; however, this will be followed up to determine whether hazard exists. The existing ordinance relating to junk and to weed abatement, he felt, would insure compliance, although the abatement order includes removal of all debris. Councilman Henderson also questioned whether water and sewer hookups were proper. Chief Building Official advised unsuccess- ful effort had been made to locate connection of the sewer into City lines although the concern was from the standpoint of lack of sanitary facilities, rather than whether connection was to City lines or not. The matter of water and sewer connections, he felt, would be for investigation by the proper Departments. Fire Marshall advised there had been a 2" water line previously; however, service, including a hydrant, had since been cut off. At the request of City Attorney, the Fire Marshal was sworn in by the City Clerk, to pertain to testimony already given. Also as requested by City Attorney, the document entitled "Tannery Property Abatement Proceedings" was ordered received into evidence. Councilman Petersen moved to close the public hearing, seconded by Councilman Keckley and carried.

Councilman Henderson noted comments concerning water tower and chain, and felt inspection on that particular aspect should be made by Building Official.
