I The meeting was called to order by the President and all members were present. Messrs. Nash, McNally, Niller, and Chief Peterson of the Hopkins Fire Department again appeared before the Council regarding Chapter 280, of the Lams of 1935, relating to the so-caJled Fire Insurance Tax. Trustee Blackburn, to whom the rna,tter was referred at the previous meeting of the Council, reported that the Village Attorney nad ad- vised the Council could not contract to pay the Hopkins Fire Department the entire 2% so long as there are sev- eral contracts by the several Fire Departments serving the Village of Edina. After further discussion, it was moved Eoore that the matter be re-referred to Trustee Blackburn, seconded by Prescott and carried. IV. J. Oxboro: appeared before the Council on behalf of one Wm. Daws, a British subject, 76 years old, and having lived in the Village of Edina some fifteen years, seid’Daws being destitu*e and in need of some kind of public relief.

Notion seconded by IVillson and carried. Mr. Tuscany appeared before the Council regarding a building permit for a draelling proposed to be built on lot 11, Auditors Subdivision 172. Upon investigation, it mas found 16t 11 to be a small triangular piece of land left over at the time Sunnyside Road was extended from Arden Avenue northeasterly toward France Avenue. It was estimated the plat contained about 1500 square feet less than it required for a building lot under the Zoning Ordinance and that it would not be possible to set the proposed new building back from the street so it would line up with other dwellings on both Grimes Avenue as’well as Sunnyside Road. Ur. Tuscany was therefore advised that the Council was without power to issue a building permit in this case. Trustee Zoerger and Supt. Glover, on behalf of Indepen- dent School District 17, appeared before the Council in a formel request for building permit to add to and complete the present Public School building .located in block 16, and Wooddale and West 50 Street.
