COM14UNICATiON WAS RECEIVED FROM THE LAND DEVELOPMENT COMPANY regarding understanding as to who was to pay for the water lines necessary in the Redwood Industrial Tract. It was their contention that the city had agreed to stand this expense notwithstanding the fact that City Manager Blom had advised them that the city had made no such agree- ment. The Land Development Company stated that the work was estimated to cost 111 $3500. City Manager Blom stated that the minutes had been checked and that nothing was found to verify the Land Development Company's contention. The minutes did show in January or February of 1946, that the City Manager had made an estimate of installing the water system in the tract as part of an over-all report on the water system, the estimate being $90,000 to put in the necessary water mains and for putting in mains of sufficient size to bring water to the area. At that time, he recommended that the subdivider bear the cost of the installation of these mains and the matter had been referred to a council committee. The City Manager further stated that in regard to the drill track, the original subdivider, Ross Chamberlain, had asked the Council for $3500 to assist in building this track but that the Council had refused. The subdivider was then going to build it himself, however, in the meantime, the Land Development Company bought the tract and no mention was made as to,who was to bear the cost of the drill track.

This area is in the first fire district and the building would not meet the requirements of the district as a permanent structure. -Mr. Park stated that the building would be so assembled that It could be removed at any time the Council requested and he did not believe that It would constitute a hazard. The building is to be used for display purposes and office and the surrounding area is to be landscaped and all setback lines observed. Mr. Park further stated that he was interested in selling these cabinettes to out of town people and that this location was best suited to his needs. Councilman IIS Werder asked the Fire Chief and Building Inspector if it would be within the Fire and Building Code to allow this structure to be erected in this location.
