B-1: Clarence Ladd asked Council to do something about relievinv the congestion on
streets by Standard Center Service Station. Impoiuided cars are being parked in such
a manner as to impede traffic and create a hazard.
Harrison talked with the State Police regarding impounding cars that are ob-
structing traffic and anain the past few weeks; Council agreed a letter should be
directed to headquarters of the State Police asking assistance in eaforcine. our
traffic and parking codes.

H.E.A. tie has just purchased a new motor for his drying; machines at the Laundromat
and says lie should buv two more due to the fluctuation in power and to low voltage.
Harrison says the KCL crew is working every available day -light hour to in-
stall a new substation which would relieve the situation; they hope to get this in
by the first of the year.
Cone, who is on H.E.A. power and also runs a Laundromat, says he would be no
better off with H.E.A.; that lie is losing motors also.
Council asked Tietjen to continue as he is until the first meeting in January,
when the matter can be reviewed, and when the new substation should be in operation.
Tietjen also asked about a refund on deposits made; Harrison says the Ord-
inance says deposits cannot be refunded unless the customer is discontinuing City
power; he thinks the ordinance can be changed to refund money tc those who have been
customers for two years and who have been prompt with monthly payments on bills, as
long as the utility is keeping up with the ratio of debt coverage required by law.

appointes another member, Harrison suggests Council should adopt a resolution with

owning real property, and requiring automatic removal if the member misses three con-
secutive meetings. Council agreed this should be done.

4. Council instructed three letters be written reaardina thn telephone service in
this area; since the officers have met with Comicil and have promised various actions

but to review the situation at the last meeting in January.
