students. tle also reported the fencing in Block 48 separating the "A"
from "B" zones had not been completed, but they planned on fencing the
George Lewis property soon. Also the wash house being built for the
apartments in Block 48 was for the use of the apartment occupants only,
RE: De11 Virgin:
Building Inspector Matthews reported Dell Virgin had completed work on
remodeling an apartment before obtaining a City building permit and that
there were numerous such instances where building permits were not ob-
tained until the work was completed. It was stated the Building Ordinance
specified a Fine of 16100,00 if a permit was not obtained before the work
started. City Attorney Mary Smith suggested the Ordinance probably stated
the x6100.00 was a maximum Fine, that lesser fines could be assessed.
Richard Davis, local contractor, suggested a scale of higher rates be
assessed for permits, if the person had already started work. It was
decided that City Attorney and the Building Inspector check on the
Building Code and offer any suggestions for revision.
RE: Utah Power ~ Light Company:
Nir. Clyde Johnson, of the Utah Power and Light Company, stated they were
installing larger transformers as those belonging to the City were too
small for the booster work. They had installed three 375 ICVA trans-
formers and would buy the old transformers firom the City and this
allowance would leave the City owing 16591.00 plus 1640.58 for labor,
for a total cost to the City of {6631.58, and asked that separate cliecks
be made showing the labor and also the cost of the transformers.

City of Rexburg and the Ptah Power and Light Company, for furnishing
electric service to the amount of 225 KW in the form of 3 phase
