{ 36 material from the plant but that his truck had broken down and he was un- able to obtain another to remove the material. He has not been able to obtain the rotary dryer but that now he had been promised delivery within thirty days. He accused the nightclub next door to his plant of threatening to run him out of business. He said he believed it would be possible to re- move all of the moist manure from his plant within the next few days and that he had obtained a location where it could be dried. He offered to obtain affidavits from his suppliers that he had not received any wet material at his plant from the time he received the City Manager's letter. There was considerable discussion in regard to the matter, the general consensus being that the Council did not wish to revoke the license if there was likelihood that the plant could be operated in a sanitary manner, and it was generally agreed to allow Mr. Williamson a short time to clean his plant. Councilman Granger withdrew his motion with the consent of the second and moved, sec- onded by Councilman McNulty, that the proprietor of this plant be required to move all material now in the plant and after a reasonable amount of time be subject to an inspection by the City Manager and if requirements of the Council have not been complied with further recommendation be made to the Council. .Motion passed unanimously. City Engineer Don S. Wilson reported on the petition received requesting improve- ments on Westgate. He advised that 55% of the frontage on the street was represented in the petition as being in favor of the improvements. He ad- vised that this is all that is legally required.

He explained the manner in which the drainage would be diverted and there was some discussion in regard to this. It was brought out that it was probable that the signers of the petition had not realized the high cost of the project when they signed the petition and it was suggested that they be notified before going further with the proceedings. Councilman Britschgi moved, seconded by Councilman Granger, that the City Manager be instructed to send a notification to the signers of the petition advising them of the estimate price of the improvements.
