Request for Water Line to Fair Grounds H. T. Porter, representing a planning committee of the Bozeman Chamber of Commeroe, H. E. Anderson, representing Gallatin County High School, and Homer Fisher, representing Gallatin Coun~ Fair Board, were present to discuss the extension of a water main to serve the area within the Fairgrounds, now being developed as an athletic and recreation area. Their proposal would involve the laying of approximately 1200 ft. of four inch water main at city expense. They presented a proposed agreement between the City of Bozeman, Gallatin County Fair Board and Gallatin County High School relative to the develoFment, operation and maintenance of the proposed recreation area. After consideration of the cost of' the proposed water main and of the development of this area as proposed in the agreement, the agreement was referred to the Ci~ Attorney for study and advice before any action is taken. Easement for Water Main on Property of T. B. Story in Northern Pacific Addition Mr. T. B. Story was present to discuss a situation relative to the City's main line water main where it crosses certain property owned by Mrs. Story in Northern Facific Addition. It appears that in 1930 there were certain streets and alleys vacated in Blocks 86, 87, 88, 89, 92, 93, 94, 97, 98 and 99 in Northern Facific Addition, that in return for vacating tl~se streets and alleys Gertrude Brown and a Montana Flour Mills Company dedicated certain areas adjacent to these blocks along the city limits for street purposes and that Katherine F. Story gave a conditional quit olaim deed to the City of Bozeman to Lots 21 and 22, Block 98, the Southeast half of Lot 3 and Lots 4, 28, and 29, Blook 97, Northern Pacific Addition to the City of Bozeman. This deed states that these lots are deeded for the purpose of permitting the City to install and maintain its water main across them. Mr. Story. s contention is that these lots should not have been deeded but that there should have been an easement given to the City. He therefore requests ttat the lots be deeded back by the City by a quit claim deed, reserving the rights for water ~in construction and maintenance by the City. After discussion it was moved by Commissioner Healy, seconded by Commissioner Secor, that the City Attorney examine the records and if there is no reason why the city should not give a quit claim deed as requested, the City Attorney prepare such a deed to be presented at the next regular meeting and the motion was carried by the following Aye and No vote: those voting Aye being Mayor Lowe, Commissioner Secor and Commissioner Healy; those voting No, none.
