Mr. Hager submitted the following report from his committee.
"The Special Committee appointed by the Mayor to bring back to''
the Council, a report on the Central Junk Yard is as follows:
Councilman Hager, Vanderfeltz and Willcoxon with Fire Inspector,
Art Hohenstreet made a tour of this yard on Tuesday evening, June 16th
Starting at the front entrance we found piles of paper, a few
bails, but most of it thrown around in loose piles. Cardboard boxes;;
were strewn around everywhere. The shed next to the railroad siding,
is supposed to keep this loose paper under control, but it has only
a roof and no enclosed sides. Storms blow this loose paper all over,
the countryside.
Old tires were scattered around and were directly underneath
several gasoline storage tanks as evidenced by pictures.
In proceeding through the yard we came upon three open privies
and the stench was not that of roses.
There were two old abondoned sheds rotting away, and a shed or
two housing some materials, but they were in a very disorderly
condition.
If you will notice the aerial shots of the yard, the litter of
junk is everywhere. There are piles here and piles there. Nothing
seems to be separated as to iron and tin.
We noticed an old boiler or press in the middle of the yard that
has not been used in years.
Weeds as high as five feet are everywhere, along with mosquitoes
rats and stench.
An old burned out truck that hasn' t been moved for at least
four or five years sits in the middle of the yard.
Last year damages to one of the city fire trucks amounted to
$37.00 when it attempted to put out a fire in the rear of the yard.
To get to some of these piles of rubbish you have to make your own
roads .
In picking up paper from many of their customers, the yard in
many cases has to take other rubbish such as cans, bottles, etc. and
this is dumped at the lower edges of the property making it a
breeding place for rats.
We feel that this yard could be easily cleaned up and put in
.an orderly condition with a minimum of expense and labor.
This committee is also of the opinion that the City Council
draw up an ordinance concerned with the operation of a junk yard.
This ordinance should have enough teeth in it to make a violation
costly. This in turn would make for a more orderly ,junk yard.
It is also the opinion of this committee, not to change the
:present ordinance that prohibits the sale of all or part of any
existing yard in the city.
We suggest that the council give Mrs. Stein a period of 30 to
45 days to clean up her operation and then ask the Council to consider
her request.
If the mayor sees fit to continue this committee we have a
number of suggestions to give Mrs. Stein at another meeting of the
whole committee."

jrecommend that Mr. H. Butzer be allowed to build over sewer,
} providing that he give City an agreement that if sewer ever needs to
be worked on, city can cut the floor and Mr. Butzer will replace it
at his own expense.
The matter of Mr. McDowell widening of Notre Dame Street, !"
Committee recommends no action be taken. The matter of connecting
