Lalk OF Members
Present Cuts Short
Scheduled Meeiinq
Sewer Problem At
End Of Moin Street
Given Consideration

The scheduled village council
meeting to be held Tuesday
evening failed to materiaiize
because of lack of members pre-
sent. Only three of the six mem
bers reported which was in
sufficient for quorum to legally
conduct and transact business.
Attorney John w. Hazard,
representing Ed Ball, of East
street, was present at the meet
ing and requested council to
correct a sewer problem existing
on the lower end of Main street.
Ball contends that a village
storm sewer opens and drains
onto his property, making it
impractical for use to Craze
cattle.
In addition to the storm sew
er, many of the property own
ers in the area have made direct
contact with it andt are
emptying raw wastes which
create a most nauseating odor
and pollutes the area near the
sewer opening.
Ball has over a period of years
attempted to correct the revolt
ing bad situation, but failed in
all previous efforts.
Attorney Hazard issued an
ultimatum to council and to the
| property owners that if the
matter is permitted to continue
it is very likely the sewer open
ings will be closed. Hazard stated
that his client would be justified
under the law to pursue this
| course of action.
| Mayor Homer johnson counter
| proposed that council would
meet in special session in the
livery near future and at tha'
time would work out a solution
to the problem.
