I that he had approved the bill for payment. '.L'he ~,laJ70r stated. that the radio had been
I rlorking sU.tisfactorily for the past three months. Mr. Johnson discusEed the matter
and
of installing/the difficul ties vlhich had arisen Quring the period the Elachine \las
: under test and stated that he felt thatthe contract had been fulfilled and that pay-
ment should be made. Councilman l:eller suggested that addi tional time be alloVled
~.because winter weather ,vas most favorable to radio reception and he th.ought that it
should be tested in warmer weather, not so favorable to reception. He also inquired
as to v/hether or net this machine was entirely wc.nuf [wtured by the 30hnson Company
or assembled, and 'whether or not present day manufactured sets were no t much improved
over those made at the time the contract was let. 11'11". Johnson stated that there was
'no radio manufactured mlich was entirely a product of tile company putting it out. He
stated that various parts were patented and manufactured by the comparies who had
sole control over them, and that they themselves held control over certain manu-
factured parts which were being used by many of the largest radio manufacturers. In
!regard to improvements, he said that radio Has still in its infancy and like all
'electrical appliances Vlas undergoing constant refin~aents. He further stated that
i following the installation of the radio and \7hile it was under test, tl1e Federal

'placed the monitor Vlithout charge. He further stated tllat some of the difficulties

:factory service had been rendered which he thought Vlas ample proof of the reliability
of the equipmen t. l':':ayor Bell reviewed the steps taken by the previou.s (;olincil in
entering into contract and inquired what action the Council wished to take on the
estimate. ITo action VlaS taken. <"_r. Johnson stated tJ:lat he thought that if the Gounail
(lid not wish to take any action, it would be but just to the manufacturer to state
\'Ihy approval should not be given and payment made. He said that he did not think
that they had violated their part of the contract. Councilman __'~berle stuted that he

thought more time should be given for testing. 1.;:1". Johnson said. that he thought the
request was not reasonable. ::';ouncilman :fC CarthjI- stated that in his opinion, addi tional
time for testing should be given. kir. Johnson said that in view of the fact that
changes had to be made in the equipment due to changes of the regula tions of the
Federal COmBunications Commission for which the Johnson COillpany were not responsible
and had made no claim for additional compensation, that if further delay were made
in settling this contract, he would feel justified in adding the additional charge
to the original contract price, if they were obliged to tW~e other steps to ottain
pa~ment of contract.

I also feel that at the commencement of a new afuninistration the governing body as.
e
0.. body have certain a1..111s which they ylill determine to strive for with the earnest
intent that at the expiration of the te~ they shall have been achieved as nearly
as possible so that it may be said that the city as a whole has received some lasting
benefit from that particular adQinistration.
rle take up this administration at a time when our country is putting forth a
tremendolis effort to meet a erea t cri si s in world affairs. This cri Eis comes upon
us just as we are beginning to recover from the t-::reat depression. tJI.yone who reads
and thinks must know that this country faces sacrifice.
lor the task of defense the financial resources of i~merica vlill be taxed to the
-
u tlllOJst. Increased goverllil1en t taxes and borrowi ngs are inevi table.
'dith such a prospect before us, how can we as a Cit~' Council best play our part
I
in helping this country to be financially sound and strong?
We call do it by strict economy in the administration of city affairs. \78 can
see to it that there is no leak or vJaste of pu.blic funds under our control and that
the taxes which we have to levy are l::ept at t..he lo"west possible figure. In this
connection I want to say to you that I believe the present total tax rate of 120
mills is too high. ..:is a matter of fact, it is actually higher t,110.n it seems because
it is based on valuations which are too higho Since ~oth thE rate &!d the valuations
upon which it is based are largely ficti tious, I think we should turn our attention
to the number of actual dollars which the city has been taking annually froTI its
taxpayers in the past and see vlhethc::r and how much rle can bea t the record of former
councils by so exacting a smaller nUJlber of dollars.
To aid in accomplishing this project, I sUGGest that each departllen t be informed
monthly as to its spending and as to the degree \Ii thin which it is keeping to the
I
budget. Each department should at all times make tile strongGst effort to keep not
only wi thin the bu.dget but below it. Only by so c!'oing can we hope to progress in
e
economy, I further propose that full publicity be Given each illonth of our success
or failure in shooting at a record of economy.
In the drive for eCQnomy which I hope this Counci 1 "will make the effort should
not start tomorrow but today. Every City official should honestly and gladly do
his part. This year tllere should not even be any rlliaors that city COTS Qre being
used for private taxis. If there are, the perso~ who spre&ds them should be maQe to
put up or shut up, and if any waste is discovered, the @lilty putlic servant should
stGnd ready to tQke the conseQuences.
But it is not only in fiscal affalrs that this city CGll help. .i;\. country 1:7hich
tf
is trying to put forth its best effort still needs relaxation and fun, but lawless-
ness and ilJ.ID.loral conduct cannot be pen!litted to oat c..way from "Vltthtn the country's
I
nfl tural strength and vi tali ty" Lets have relaxG. ti on anc, re crea tion no t for our
pleasure alone but to recuperate our powers so thQt each of us may deliver his best
effort for his country. In other words ~ d.uring this crisis: let's [wve an orderly,

ment across the Seabury Campus and to transact any other business which might come
up. Mayor Lyons read the following communication from the Seabury Mission Board:-
"Mr. Foster made a statement to the Board regarding a co nference which the Treasurer
had with the members of the Council of the City of Faribault in connection w:ith the
prQPosed extension of a line of sewer through Seabury grounds from state AveI1'le on
the east to Sixth Avenue East. The tentative understanding with the Council was
that if an easement was granted the City for extension of this sewer as contemplated
no assessment would be made against the Mission 'until such time as they migh t con-

neat onto this line of sewer. It was also brought out that the Council are jnclined e
to question whether the Divinity School property should still be exempt from taxa-
tion in view of its practically no longer being used tor seminaI"Y_ or church rurposes.
The m.embers of the Council also express the idea that in view of the den'.oand
for lots on the East Side in Faribault, due to its deve~opment f~+lowing the con-
struction of the new viaduct, that the Mission place on the market lots for l:uilding

purposes in the northeast portion o.f the campus. In. this way releasing such pro-
perty for building and thus producing a tax revenue to the city.
After consideration of the matter in its various phases, the following motion
was made by
and seconded by
that the Mission now
aut~~izes the sale of certain lots in the northeast eorner of Seabury grounds ly-
ing between Division Street and what would be First Street South, if extended
through the grounds to State Avenue and that Mr. Foster wi th the treasurer be con-
stituted a committee to carry out the undertaking. Also, that the tr~asurer is au-
thorized to enter into an agreement with the City of Faribault granting it an ease-
ment through the Seabury grounds along the center line of what would be First Street
South, if such a street were openede The consideratiOIl for granting this easement
would be that no assessment will be made upon Seabury for the sewer constructed
through the grounds, until such time as the use of such sewer may be made by
making one or more connections thereto in the selling of lots as cont"mlplated, but
that when such connections are made the assessment for the sewer through the grounds
shall be immediately due and payable but wi thout penalty or interest. The motion
was unanimously adopted."
Councilman Carlson stated that he thought it would be better for the City to
condemn or purchase a right-of-way for a street paying the Mission for the property
and then make the regular sewer asses5.ment. This was discussed by ths Council and
the City Attorney was directed to contact the Mission to ascertain their reaction
to this prQiPosal.
Councilman Carlson stated that it had been brought to his attention that there
were several truckers operating without city license. The Council without formal
vote directed that the ordinance be enforced.
Councilman Carlson moved that the $20,000.00 bond issue be dated June 15th,
1941. Motion was seconded by Councilman Wolf and passed by unanimous vote of the
