The Sundance City Council
WIonday night delayed askirtg for
bids on a six-inch water main
until easements can be obtained.
The council decided to wait un.~il
an easement for the main, which
would be located on the south
end of town, can be secured on
property owned by George and
William Reed. The latter is de-
ceased. George Reed lives in
California. The city must also
obtain clearance from the Wyo-
ming Highway Departmertt to
cross under Highway 585 with
the main.
Councilman Rex Dillon esti-
mated that the city will be ready
for the first load of penta-prime
by Aug. 20. Councilman Ger-
• J
l
old P o02ham said the Mountain
View neighborhood has agreed
to cooperate with the road sur-
facing project and that the hos-
pital wants an alley penta-primed.
Ted Rounds, member of ,the
school board, asked the city to
penta prime about 2,000 yards of
school playgrunds.
Monte Markeseth, recently hir-
ed city marshal, appealed to the
council for a new police car. H~
complained that the present car
is difficult to steer and is poor-
ly suited for police work. He
suggested 'chat the council buy a
used highway patrol car for $850
or reimurse him for the use of
his own automobile. Councilman
Harry Habeck said the council
should inquire into the cost of a
new car. The council agreed that
the present city squad car should
be replaced.
The council passed an ordin-
ance authorizing the city marshal
to accept bail bond, at his dis-
cretion. Police Magistrate
Charles Donaldson has establish-
ed specific bonds for the more
common offenses. They range
from $5 for a minor speeding
charge to $50 for resisting arrest

The COUncil also passed an or-
_ s ,
dinance requiring users of the
City Dump :to follow instructions
on signs at the dump which indi-
cate where garbage should be
placed.
The council repealed one pro-
vision of an ordinance prohibit-
ing the picketing of a horse In
town and amended the ordinance
to prohibit the staking of horses
along sidewalks and streets and
the riding •of horses on sidewalks.
The council voted to thank the
U. S. Corps of Engineers for
its study of the flood control
situation in the area and to ex-
press agreement with the recom-
mendations made by the engin-
eers. However, it should be ex-
plained that the city cannot afford
the $145,000 expenditure suggest-
ed by them. A copy of the let-
ter will be forwarded to the Wy-
oming congressional delegation.
In other action, the council.:
Granted a building permit to
Walter Tracy.
