MAILBOX PAGODAS A committee, Vicki Cunningham Chairperson, has been formed and has begun a study of how to repair, build, and raise funds for the upgrading of the mailbox pagodas within our Town. The committee is willing to raise the necessary funds and organize the work but when the task is completed they would like to tern them over to the Town from then on to be maintained by the Town. Ron Dickinson, Tohn Attorney, stated that there are legal means by which the Town can acquire the pagodas. Mayor Mile reviewed a petition signed by eleven families that they would instigate restoration and repair and then arrange for the Tour to acquire therm for maintenance. A standard for pagodas was discussed. Mayor Lile asked that the committee bring a plan to the Council -for approval. It was stated that good organization will be necessary if pagodas are to meet high standards. A discussion took place in regard to whether paper slots under the mailboxes were necessary anymore. Carson Wheeler feels they are an added MnRid65 i8 for fire. Mrs. Cunningham stated it was the intent of the committeepaper slots in the design of the pagoda. The committee was requested to provide accurate cost estimates for maintenance and new pagodas. It was suggested that fund raising activities might be incorporated with the 4th of 40 July celebration. The Council stated that they are in agreement with the proposal to accept the pagodas for maintenance after they are brought up to the Council's standards.
