The board complained that every time it rains a large pool of water lies in front of the church, making it difficult for people to get out of parked cars. Council decided to make the necessary repairs just as soon as suitable weather permits the work to be done. In other business council accep- ted the application of Leonard Debus to have town water sup- plied to his new property. The membership in Mid -Western Development Association w a s dropped, since council felt it was no benefit to Zurich. A request was received from Ivan Kalbfleisch to have snow re- moved from the front of his plan- ing mill. Mr. Kalbfleisch felt sin- ce he was paying business tax as well as the downtown stores, he should be entitled to have snow removed. Council ordered the town manager to remove the snow banks as soon as possible. The trustee board has purchased ten pairs of heavy woolen mitts, to be used by firemen during cold weather.
