Sewer Line on Curtiss to South Twelfth Mr. Theo. C. Seavy, owner of Lots 1 to 4, Block 7, West Side Addition, appeared before the Commission to discuss construction of a sanitary sewer to serve his property. The nearest point at which the property can be connected to the sewer is on Curtiss Street at the alley between 11th and 12th Avenues. Mr. Seavy will consider extending the sewer west in Curtiss Street at his expense but felt that, if he did so, other properties which might later be connected to this section of sewer should re-imburse him on a pro-rata basis for his cost of constructing this sewer. The City Engineer was instructed to determine on a square foot basis the properties which might utilize the proposed sewer and the City Attorney was instructed to prepare a contract between Mr. Seavy and the City of Bozeman, the general terms of which are to be as follows: 1. Mr. Seavy will be permitted to construct the proposed sewer in Curtiss Street at his expense. I 2. The sewer will be built according to plans prepared by and under the supervision of the City Engineer. 3. When completed, this section of sewer will become part of the sewerage system of the City of Bozeman and will be the property of the City. 4. For so long as Mr. Seavy owns the said Lots 1 to 4, Block 7, West Side Addition, no other owner of property abutting on or which can be directly served by the section of sewer which will be built by Mr. Seavy, will be permitted to connect to said sewer until he has re-imbursed Mr. Seavy on a pro-rata basis according to the ratio of the area of the property to be connected to the area of all property which can be served by this sewer.

Traffic Violations of Out-of-Town Cars I Wm. Stutsman, Secretary-Manager of the Chamber of Commerce, appeared before the Commission to discuss the city's policy on ticketing out-of-town cars for parking violations and the advisability of issuing courtesy tickets. Mr. Stutsman was informed that these questions have been given much consideration, that some difficulty does arise over cars which are parked all night because of interference with street cleaning and snow removal operations, and that so-called courtesy tickets for out-of-town owners defeat the purpose of parking turn-over for which parking meters were installed. Every possible consideration is given to tourists and out-of-town car owners but the whole problem is one which requires co-operation between the Police Department, Hotel Owners, Business men and the car operators themselves. 1.4Ji Confirmation of Foliee Officer Weir A communication from the Chief of Folice was read stating that Douglas C.
