Hawthorne reported he had made an investigation regarding legal height of the Edina Hi11 dam, with the following findings: file in the Hennepin county engineer’s office shotv that the present dam was built in 1906 to replace a previous woodsn dam rrhich vas built about 1860 and washed out in 1902; the present dam was built at the cLassumed level” of the previous dam and the plans shon the distanoe from the crest of the dam to the highest point of the underside of the bridge arch to be 8* feet; measurements taken by Erzgineer Smith a fev days ago showed the distance from the middle portion of the darn to the arch is 8* feet; no record of authorization for construction of the wing8 vas found among records of the P-illage, the county highvay engineer nor the state conservation department: the quit claim deed by which Thorpe Bros. transferred the Xinnehaha Creek bed property to the village in 1933 stipulates flonage rights Uto the height of the old dam,” shich deed is referred to minutes of the village council. meeting of Feb. 19, 1933. plans on L/’ , Ha?&horne moved that, in view of the fact that some property adjoining the Edina Eill pond is being damaged by high water and vings on the Edina Ei11 dam apparently mere constructed without procurement of flcmage rights and that the village apparently doesnot om flonage rights for rrater held back by the wings and may be liable for damage caused by such water, the village engineer therefore be directed to remove the wings from the Edina Xi11 dam; seconded by 17illson and carried without dissenting vote. Ben B. Eoore, former village recorder, vas present and explained the niugs on the dam mere constructed by Thorpe Brosc about 1932 vi%hout the knowledge of the village council. Xoore further stated that flomage rights onned by the village apply only t3 the dam without the wings. R. A. Schmit% and Xelvin Petrie appeared to complain of speeding on Brookside avenue and Division street and requested installation of nslowlt or “20 mphn signs on those streets. Sharpe instructed Engineer Smith to install appropriate signs if the village has any on hand, Hbnthorne moved that the council accept mith regret the resigation of Leonard E* Gebo as trustee, effective June 30, 1943; seconded by Tfyatt and carried. ’Villson moved that Harold C, Utley, 4604 Browndale avenue, be appointed to fill the unexpired tern of Leonard E* Gebo as trustee; seconded by Wyatt.

C, Hudson requesting installation of a streetlight at Porty-fifty street and Xorth avenue mas referred to the lighting committee. Letters from E, F. Eattaon and Edward D. Van Rhee thanking the council and lhgineer Smith for co-operation in cpnstimction of curb and gutter at Fifty-second street and Halifax avenue mere read and filed. Harold C. Utley was sworn in and assumed his duties as trustee. / .J Engin er Smith presented two estiaates of cost of construction of a storn sewer in the vicinity of Forty-fourth- street and Browndale avenue, one proposing constEuction of the sever partially on village property and partially on private property at cost of $769 and the other proposing construction entirely on village prctperty at cost of $815. Smith recommended the latter propoaal, He pointed out the proposed sewer would elhimte surface drainage of storm waters from Fourth-fourth street acro88 the':Pzop5Ety of H. H. Watson,4520 V. Fourth-fourth street, Edina, and across another lot in St. Louis Park, Smith explained much of the water involved flows into Edina from St. Louis Park but that the village of St. Louis Park is unwilling to share expense of the sewer and that owners of affected private property do not want to pay cost of the work. After discussion in which Wyatt and Hawthorne pointed out a stora sewer to correct a similar drainage: problem at the corner of Fifty-second street and Halifax avenue was consgructed by 'special assessment and that the council's policy should be uniform in such matters, Sharpe instructed Smith to notify Watson that i.t; is the policy of the council to leyy special assessments against bsnefitited property for construction of storm sewers. Policies and procedures of applying oil and calcium chloride to streets and roads in the village were discussed. Hawthorne: moved that the chairman of the roads and bridges committee and the village engineer be directed to proceed with the oiling projects approved by the fedeEal government as rapidly as possible and that they be empowered to use their discretion as to the order in whgeh th6 various projects should be started.

Engineer Smith Bported that opening of bids for.constructioa of curb and guteer in Edina Court must be postpbried until early in August because Hennepin.Counj7y Review through error failed to publish advertisement for bids two weeks in succession. Smith reported a privately operated dump on higigas 169 has been cl6sed and that the village, with an area of 17 square miles, now is without a dumping grounds for refuse. piece of tax-fc~rfeited property or an abandoned sand pit for use as a public dump mas discussed but no action was taken. Possibility of acquiring a &pith reported that Frank and John Garrison had moved one or more small buildings .into the village without permits. hith to file complaints against the Garrisons in justice court. &pith reported that he had made an arrangement vith Tred T. Paul, Uinneapolia cityengineer, for the village t 3 make semi-annual payment to Uinneapolis for the village's one-half share of the cost of operating traffic signals at the c3rner of Fiftieth street and France avenue.
