. . ~ . DR. J. G. FLINT, 1761 Gramsie Road: Asked what the quality of the water would be compared to the rusty, hard well water he's getting and whether the village water would include softening and iron removal. MR. THOMAS I~GAN,18l2 Venus: Commented that the people in Lauderdale had constructed a water system with the source of water from St. Paul because their wells became contaminated from petroleum seepage. Asked if Arden Hills was in danger of having the same problem. MR. MELVIN MAURER, 3983 N. Fairview: Asked on what side of the street the mains would be located, and how they would be located in connection with sewer and gas mains. Assuming a federal loan were granted, how long would it be before water would be installed. MR. ROLAND HERRIGES, 3991 N. Fairview: Asked it an investi- gation had been made in connection with obtaining water from some other source. MR. CLIFFORD ANDERSON, 1804 Venus: It had been mentioned that if at some future time it is determined that federal aid is ~ot available, there would be another hearing. Mr. Anderson suggested that if this is the case, the Council skip the second heari~g and go ahead with the improvement without federal aid. MR. RAYMOND FARICY, representing Columbia Transit Company (Spoke before): Asked if the Mounds View High School would be serviced by the proposed system or if they already have some other source of water. Also wanted to know if the school district would be compelled to contribute moneys to the program. A communication from Dr. Sanford Witter, Superintendent of Schools, was read in which a number of question~ were asked. Is the high school to be included in the water improvement plan. Could the school be excluded since they have an adequate source of water supply from the New Brighton water system. What would the basis for assessments be. MR. ROBERT NETHERCUT, 3908 Dellview: Indicated that it had taken the Village of ~~unds View a year to get an application for federal aid. MR. JACK BELL, 4082 Valentine Crest: If a federal grant would become available, would that cover the entire improvement or only a portion of it. If it would only cover a portion of.. the cost, would it be applied to the part to be assessed or the portion to go on general taxes. Also asked if the proposed 6% carrying charge on unpaid installments of assessments would be sufficient to cover the interest on the bonds.
