REPORT ON FRED KRAFT, EMERALD LAKE, WATER CONNECTION. Councilman Granger reported that Mr. ltolison and Mr.Winter had been with him on the premises of Mr.Kraft and it appeared that Mr. Kraft would have to get the cooperation of people in that area and if he could do so the City would try to work out some- . thing with him. There was not enough water for people there. Mr.Kraft stated the Public Utilities Commission advised that he should claim 100 ft extension for new construction, and that very few had received it during the past few years due to the shortage of pipe. He felt that Water Superintendent would like to see something done and suggested a 4° main for 19 or 12 families. He claimed that others who were building were awaiting the outcome of his request. Mr. Winter stated he suggested Mr. Kraft put in temporary line. Councilman Britschgi moved that this problem be turned over to the•City Manager and Water Department for the problem to be worked out, seconded by Councilman Spillers. Mr. Kraft objedted to having to connect to line 700 ft down the hill. City Manager did not think it feasible to make connection for one. If done right it should be a 41' main and if it had to be a 6" main the City might stand the difference. It was estimated that the cost of 1200 ft of 41, line would cost $3000. Yotion carried.
