expin..qatinn from, Mr. Lockridge regarding the extension of his service to
other than his own property.
A co�munica.tion was also read under date of Feb lst from. the District to
J F Lloyd regarding the furnishing of water service to others than those
on his premises for which he applied and advising him that continued vio-
lation of the rules and regulations of the District may make it necessary
to discaitinue service as provided in Ordinance 56-01 and asking for his
cooperation. Mr. Lloyd called at the office but Manager Edmunds was out
and no action has been taken.
Manager E'I. unds explained to the Hoard that the recent report of a frozen
hydrant near the Cottage Hotel had been taken up with Chairman Pace of the
Fire Co'?'ll'dl ss-Lon, who had stated that the difficulty encountered at the time
of the fire was due to an iron post which had been installed by the Cottage
Hotel in such proximity to the hydrant that it made it impossible to make a
complete turn with the spanner, and thus held up the opening; of the hydrant.
The Manager suggested that a meeting be held with Bud Owens, .61ectrical Con-
tractor and an understanding arrived at as to certain classes of work
and types of service which the District is called upon to make at the request
of our customers, and which in the past he has objected to the District doing
with a view to straightening out any misunderstandings. No action was taken.
14anager Edmunds pointed out that the +�i.nutes of January 10th showed that
Karl Kielhofer was to have come to work for the District as Superintendent on
February lst and since he had not shown up an explanation in the .minutes should
be wade. Director ,Ielch and Heller explained that 1-1r. Kielhofer failed to
accept the position with the District on February 1st.

infoi-i ation relative to the cost of connecting up t-le fire hydrants at the
Haintenance Station -w- t h the District's line when the sale of the Sanders

at his gravel pit south of Highway 40 and west of the High School grounds.

with our 2400 V primary systern and the distance fro-:,,. the substation, the
only -via- such a load could be served with })roper voltage and regulation
would be to rebuild a considerable portion of our primary; line and plat in
regulators. The Manager expla ned that with the hopes of the District
obtai nine, the Donner lake line of the SPFCo . in the near future, it would
seer_ proper for the District to relinquish the exclusive rights to serve
t his gravel insta.11ation,due to a clause in our deed of sale, and permit
service to be had from the Donner Labe line. A motion was _:jade and carried
authorizing tie i-Tanager to take the :latter up with Supt. F. Ga.ienni.e of the
