To the Citizens Of Fridley:
The following pages are a reprint of the City Manager's
report to the Council for the years 1965 and 1966. As your
trustees, the Council feels this report should be passed on to
you.
It should be pointed out that in 19G6, we instituted a
seal coating program as preventive maintenance on our streets,
began a sidewalk program for the safety of our children, con-
tracted for a new firs truck, initiated a city beautification
project, and many other projects that might be considered in
the nature of a backlog, having been deferred in past years.
As you will see in next year's report, 1967 promises to be an
even greater year.
She can all be justifiably proud of our City and are
pleased to see Fridley take an increasingly important role
among the rest of the suburbs in the•Metropolitan area, our
successes are achieved only through the cooperation and hard
work of those dedicated citizens that serve so willingly on
our various commissions and committees. To you who serve, we
will ever be grateful.
Sincerely,
J' J
Jack O. Kirkham

Honorable Mayor
Members of the City Council
Fridley, Minnesota.,
Gentlemenr
This Fifth Annual Report generally will follow the format of
the previous annual reports for the City of Fridley. The bulk of
the report covers 1966, although there is one page devoted to 1965,
and most of the tables contain figures for 1965.
i

There area feta minor departures from previous reports, on
Page ka is a list of all the Councilmen.and City and Village Managers
who have served the City since its incorporation.
More space is allotted to.the Paxks and Recreation function,
because it is the department of the City that has the most direct
contact with the citizens. This is the only department of the City
government in which the citizen actively participates when he is
using-the parks or participating in the recreation program.
Progress on construction of the new City Hall is. ahead of sched—
ule, itnd it is hoped that before the grid of this year, the citizens
will find a much more convenient and attractive place in which to
transact City business. since all of the,accomplishments of the City
Of Fridley are due to the active participation in government of the
citizens, the citizens committees, and the Council, and the cooper=
ation with the City employees of all"of these people, it will be most
fitting that they will have a clean, decent,_ new, place in which to
meet while°performing their civic duties.
Icy thanks go to all of the dedicated and` loyal City employees,
i
to the City Council, and to the citizens who so willingly give of
their time to the City,-and for their magnificent response to the
disasters of'1965., and contribution to the progress of the City of
Fridley that I believe'is shown in this annual report.
Respectfully submitted:
EPW/gs Earl P. Wagner
CITY MANAGER °
1965
The year of 1965 will go down in the history of Fridley as the Year of Dis-
aster. Beginning on March 1, 1965, the City was plagued by rain, and sudden
thaws, resulting in overtaxing of the storm sewer system on March 1st and
April 1st. On April 12th, the Mississippi River moved into a portion of Fridley,
in the northwest corner, resulting in the evacuation by the Fridley Fire and
Police Departments of the residents of approximately 40 homes.
The City had just about recovered from these emergencies, when on the
evening of May 6, 1965, three tornadoes moved through the City. The result
was devastation. Approximately 525 homes were totally destroyed and approxi-
mately 1,100 homes were damaged to such an extent that the residents were not
permitted to return to them for some time after the disaster. The response by
all of the City employees, the City Council, and the citizens of Fridley to this
disaster was magnificent. Citizens of neighboring communities, and employees
of neighboring communities,volunteered services to the citizens of Fridley, and
gave invaluable assistance in the major cleanup task that confronted Fridley
on May 7th. Volunteer workers came from as far away as Canada to assist in
the cleanup. The citizens of Fridley will always be grateful to these volunteers
for their selfless dedication to people in trouble.
There was no annual report prepared by the City Manager for the year
1965, because of the unusual happenings in that year. Since practically all of
the time and effort.of all of the city employees of Fridley was taken up with
disaster recovery, the reports, statistics, and financial figures normally avail-
able early in the following year were not available early enough in 1966 to
prepare such a report. In fact, the final audit by the State Public Examiner's
office of the funds received from the Federal Government through the Office
of Emergency Planning was not completed until early in 1967. This audit
showed that the City was justified in using Federal funds to the amount of
$499,205.00. Additionally, the City spent $20,000.00 of its own funds, and the
amounts budgeted for 1965 for routine City operations did not accomplish
most of these routine City operations, since nearly all of the time of the em-
ployees was spent on disaster recovery.
The Council responsible for running the City during this troublous time was
composed of Mayor William J. Nee, Councilman Raymond E. Sheridan, Coun-
cilman Glenn W. Thompson, Councilman Jack O. Kirkham, and Councilman
_John C. Wright. The Council met frequently, and did a magnificent job of pro-
viding leadership for the City employees and the citizens of Fridley in making
the remarkable recovery that Fridley did from this disaster.

1966
THE CITY GOVERNMENT
The City Government of Fridley is the Council Manager form of government.
Fridley was incorporated as a Village in 1949, and became a City through
approval by the voters of a Charter in September 1957. In Minnesota, a munici-
pality, no matter how large, is a Village so long as it does not have a Charter.
A municipality with a Charter, no matter how small, is called City.
The Council-Manager form of government was adopted by the Village of
Fridley in 1954 under the so-called Plan B provisions of State Law, then was
adopted in the new Charter in September, 1957. This form of government pro-
vides for an elected Council, which then appoints a City Manager and in the
case of the Fridley Charter, the City Attorney. Under the Charter, the City
Manager is responsible for all employees as per Section 6.02 B "to appoint,
suspend and remove with the consent and approval of the Council, all city
officers and employees except as in this Charter otherwise provided." The
City Council functions under Section 2.01 in which it is stated that, "all dis-
cretionary powers of the City, both Legislative and Executive, shall vest in
and be exercised by the City Council. It shall have complete control over the
City Administration, but shall exercise this control exclusively through the
City Manager,and shall not itself attempt to perform any administrative work."
It is hoped that this Administrative report to the City Council will be in
readable enough form that, if the Council so desires, it can be printed and
distributed to all of the citizens, so that they will be informed of their City
Government.
Local government usually follows the general format of the Federal gov-
ernment in that there is a separation of Legislative, Judicial, and Executive
functions. This report will be divided into those general categories.
LEGISLATIVE
CITY COUNCIL
The City Council is the Legislature of the City and most of the Charter
provisions applying directly to the City Council are found in Chapters 2 and 3
of the Charter. Since the Council is the final authority on government affairs
in the City of Fridley, all Chapters of the Charter, of course, are the concern
of the Council.
There are five members on the Fridley City Council. Four of them are
designated as Councilmen, and one designated as Mayor. The Mayor and
Councilman-at-Large are elected by all of the voters of Fridley, and there is a
Councilman from Ward One, Ward Two, and Ward Three.
The terms are staggered so that there are never more than two offices on
the ballot in any one year. The terms are staggered such that the Mayor and
the Councilman-at-Large positions are up for election in one year, the Coun-
cilman from Ward One and Ward Three the next year, and the Councilman
from Ward Two the following year.

Fridley City Council
Left to right: Councilmen Frank G. Liebl, David O. Harris, Mayor Jack O.
Kirkham, Councilmen Leonard W. Samuelson, and Raymond E. Sheridan.
Councilmen that served in 1966 were Mayor Jack 0. Kirkham, Councilman-
at-Large David 0. Harris, Councilman 1st Ward Leonard W. Samuelson, Coun-
cilman 2nd Ward Raymond E. Sheridan, and Councilman 3rd Ward John C.
Wright. The Councilmen serving the City of Fridley in 1967 are Mayor Jack
O. Kirkham, Councilman-at-Large David 0. Harris, Councilman 1st Ward Leon-
ard W. Samuelson, Councilman 2nd Ward Raymond E. Sheridan, and Council-
man 3rd Ward Frank G. Liebl. Councilmen Liebl and Samuelson were elected
for three year terms in November 1966.
The names, addresses, phone numbers and terms of office of the present
Council are found on Page 22 of this report.
The Council also sits as the Board of Equalization to hear the citizen-
taxpayer relative to his property valuation.
The principal accomplishment of the City Council in 1966 was to award
the bid for construction of the new Fridley City Hall on October 31, 1966. The
total of the bids Was$450,948.00.
In 1965 there were 30 regular and 30 special Council meetings. During
1966, there were 24 regular and 19 special Council meetings, at which the
Council passed 192 resolutions and 6 ordinances.
The City Council meets regularly on the first and third Mondays of each
month at 8 p.m. at the Fridley City Hall, 6431 University Avenue Northeast.
The second Monday of each month is reserved by the Council for public hear-
ings when necessary.
CITIZEN COMMITTEES AND COMMISSIONS
The organizational chart on the inside of the front cover of this report
shows the various citizen committees and commissions that assist the Council
in carrying out its duties as the governing body of the City.The work of some
of these committees and commissions will be discussed in more detail below,
(4)
although not all of the committees can be discussed in detail because of lack
of space.
PLANNING COMMISSION
Chapters 45 and 52 of the City Code of Fridley sets forth most of the rules
and regulations with which the Planning Commission deals. Chapter 45 is the
zoning rules and regulations, and Chapter 52 is the platting rules and regula-
tions.
Early in 1967, the makeup of the Planning Commission was reorganized
by the City Council. The office of the General Chairman remained the same.
The Plats and Subdivisions Subcommittee and the Streets and Utilities Sub-
committee were combined into one committee, the Chairman of which is a
member of the Planning Commission. The Board of Appeals as a separate body
was eliminated and became a subcommittee of the Planning Commission with
the Chairman a member of the Planning Commission and with the Board of
Appeals having final determination of appeals made to it. Previously, the Board
was advisory only to the Council. Now, the Board's decision is final subject
only to appeal to the City Council or to the Courts. The Council eliminated
the Building Board by combining it with the Building Standards Subcommittee
of the Planning Commission and it is now designated as a Building Standards-
Design Control Subcommittee, with its Chairman a member of the Planning
Commission. The fifth member of the Planning Commission is the same as
previously, namely the Chairman of the Parks and Recreation Commission
which is a subcommittee of the Planning Commission.
The Planning Commission meets on the second and fourth Thursdays of
each month with the meeting on the second Thursday devoted to requests by
citizens for rezoning, lot splits, plats, etc. The meeting on the fourth Thursday
of the month by the Commission is reserved for general planning by the Com-
mission.
The Commission has spent many hours in studying the present zoning
ordinance, Chapter 45 of the City Code, attempting to update it and to improve
it by eliminating certain undesirable types of land use from it. The principal
accomplishment of the Planning Commission was to recommend to the Council
a new land use classification, namely the Planned Development District. The
Council passed this in the form of an ordinance and it is now.part of the Code
of the City of Fridley. This Planned Development District enables the Planning
Commission and the City Council to work with the large developer to provide
development of a large tract of land to the satisfaction of the Planning Com-
mission and the City Council for the best interests of the City. Members of
the Planning Commission in 1965 were Chairman Kenneth L Kravik, Vern
Bandel,Charles Johanson, Herman Bergman, and Robert J. Hughes. This group
also served in 1966. Names of the members of the Commission presently serv-
ing and their terms of office wll be found on Page 22 of this report.
BOARD OF APPEALS
The change in status of the Board of Appeals has been discussed on a
previous page of this report. The Board meets on call based upon petition for
variances from Chapter 45 of the City Code or petition for Special Use Per-
mits. Their meetings are public hearings, as advertised for fourteen days prior
to such public hearing. Members of the Board in 1965 were Chairman Harry
Nawrocki,and members Ransome Goodrich,Leonard Jankowski,Ed Fitzpatrick,
(5)
and Wayne Saunders. During most of 1966, the Board remained the same except
that Leonard Jankowski resigned before the end of the year. Members of the
Board serving during 1967 are Chairman Robert Ylinen, and members Robert
Ahonen, Robert Minish, Wayne Saunders, and Tom Myhra.
PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION
Chapter 24 of the Fridley Code sets forth the makeup and function of the
Parks and Recreation Commission. This Commission is a subcommittee of the
Planning Commission and its Chairman, Robert J. Hughes, is a member of the
Planning Commission. The Commission working with the Parks and Recreation
Director prepares budget requests, sets up the Recreation Program for each
year, and makes an annual report to the City Council of its work during the
previous year. Members of the Commission besides Chairman Hughes, are
John Dunphy, James Spence, Edward Fitzpatrick, and Thomas Cochran.
BUILDING STANDARDS-DESIGN CONTROL SUBCOMMITTEE
This committee, as related before, is made up of a combination of two
committees, namely the Building Standards Committee and the Building Board.
Its Chairman, Oliver R. Erickson, serves on the Planning Commission. This
committee determines whether or not any proposed structure conforms too
much or too little with the surrounding area and also whether or not it is
aesthetically acceptable. Structures considered are industrial, commercial or
multiple dwelling structures. Additionally, they attempt to keep up to date
with changes in materials and construction techniques so that the City of Fridley
Building Code will be up to date in its application. Members of the committee
besides its Chairman are Earl Biermann, Carrol Hauge from the First Ward,
William Tonco from the Second Ward, and Richard Dittes from the Third
Ward. The committee meets on the first and third Tuesdays of each month at
7:30 p.m. at the City Hall.
OTHER COMMITTEES AND COMMISSIONS
The following committees have an equally important place in the struc-
ture of City government in Fridley, but space limitations require that their
work be reported in capsule form.
Chapter 36 of the City Code of Fridley provides for a Board of Health,
which is appointed by the City Council and is advisory to the City Council in
matters of health. The Chairman of the Board who is a practicing physician is
Dr. H. S. Strait, who also is designated as the Health Officer of the City of
Fridley. The other two members of the Board are Dr. Donald L. Wright and
James H.Hensley.
Mr. Hensley, who is a qualified environmental sanitarian serves the City
on a part time basis as the Health Inspector.
The Fridley Safety Committee meets on the third Wednesday of each
month and advises the City Council and the City Manager in matters of safety
and makes recommendations as to ways of correcting hazardous situations.
Chapter 25 of the City Code creates the Police Commission which is made
up of three members serving three year terms. The duties of the Police Com-
mission are the testing and qualifying of applicants for the Police Department,
maintaining the eligibility list, and serving as a hearing board for appeals from
suspensions and dismissals. The Chairman is Wilbur Whitmore, and the other
members are Dr. William Williams and John Johnston.
(6)
The Human Relations Committee is charged with working for good human
relations in the City of Fridley. It is not a regulatory body. It was created by
the City Council on December 21, 1964.
There are fifteen members, six of whom are appointed at large, and three
are appointed from each ward. Terms of the members are for three years.
JUDICIAL
MUNICIPAL COURT
The Municipal Court of the City of Fridley holds regular court sessions
each Friday of the month at 7 p.m. Contested cases and jury cases are assigned
to other nights by the presiding judge. The present Municipal Judge is Elmer
M. Johnson, and the Associate Municipal Judge is W. Wyman Smith. Clerk of
Court is Virgil Wills, and the Bailiff is Ernest Powell.
LEGAL DEPARTMENT
Legal Counseling for the City of Fridley is on a part time fee basis. Pres-
ently, the office of City Attorney is held by Virgil C. Herrick, and the City
Prosecutor is James Gibbs. The City Attorney attends all City Council meetings,
provides legal opinions to the City Council and the City Manager upon request,
and prepares all ordinances and resolutions.
EXECUTIVE
CITY MANAGER
The City Manager's place in the structure of the local government of
Fridley is spelled out in Chapter 6, Section 6.01 and 6.02 of the City Charter.
Principal responsibility of the City Manager is the supervision of all the
administrative operations of the City government and attendance at all meet-
ings of the City Council. He also attends nearly all of the meetings of the
various citizen committees and commissions, and in 1965 and 1966, attended
more than 150 evening meetings in each year.
Other major responsibilities of the City Manager are preparation and
enforcement of the budget, preparation of the agenda for each Council meet-
ing, and preparation of an administrative report to the Council on an annual
basis.
FINANCE DEPARTMENT
The City Clerk-Treasurer of the City is also designated as the Finance
Director. The many functions of the Finance Department include accounting,
utilities billing, preparation of special assessment rolls, and receipt and dis-
bursement of city funds. For these purposes, the Finance Department has been
divided into divisions, namely City Clerk's Office, City Treasurer's Office,
Assessor's Office, Accounting, Utilities Billing, and Special Assessments.
CITY CLERK'S OFFICE
The City Clerk's duties in connection with the keeping of public records,
the custody and disbursement of public funds and other duties as ordained by
the City Council are delineated in Section 6.04 of the City Charter.
The City Clerk, who also serves as the City Treasurer and Finance Direc-
tor, attends all meetings of the City Council. Major function of the City Clerk's
(7)
office is the disbursement of money. The summary statement of expenditures
and encumbrances for the year ending December 31, 1966, on Page 20, indicates
the extent of said disbursements, all of which must be accounted for to the
satisfaction of the auditor engaged by the Council to audit the books each year.
The appropriation ordinance for 1967, which is on Page 21 indicates the extent
of disbursements that will be made by this office.
CITY TREASURER'S OFFICE
All monies belonging to the City are paid to the City Treasurer by the
person authorized to receive said monies. This provision is found in Section 7.13
of the City Charter.
The Finance Director, in performing his duties as the City Treasurer,
serves as a member of the City Investment Committee, which is made up also
of the Mayor and City Manager. The Finance Director handles the detail work
of this committee by reviewing the day by day fluctuations of the investment
market to see that the temporarily idle City funds are properly invested. In
1966,the City realized earnings of$187,295.98 from its investments.
The revenues received by the City Treasurer for which he must account
properly to the satisfaction of the auditor are summarized on Page 19.
ASSESSOR'S OFFICE
Three full time employees carry out the functions of the Assessor's Office
with additional temporary help hired during the real estate appraisal year. The
City Assessor is Mervin Herrmann, the Appraiser is Leon Madsen, and the
Clerk is Elinor Thoennes. The only function of this office is to determine the
value of the property in the City of Fridley and report these valuations to the
City Council sitting as the Board of Equalization. The Anoka County Assessor
determines the formulas to be used by the Assessor and Appraiser, and sets
the percent of market value of the property that the Assessor will use to de-
termine the full and true value of the property. The Assessor's office does not
set the mill rates or determine the amount of taxes that will be levied against
any particular piece of property.
It seem appropriate, however, at this point to indicate comparative mill
rates for the City governmental operations only of the various communities in
this area. These comparisons will be found in Table I, below.

The mill rates in this Table were levied in each case in the previous year, but
are the basis for taxes collected in the year in which they are shown.
On Page 11 are four pie charts, one for each of the four school districts in
Fridley. These charts show the percent of your tax dollar that goes to each
taxing entity affecting Fridley taxpayers. You will note that the City govern-
ment of Fridley receives a very small percent of the tax dollar.
(8)
ACCOUNTING
The Chief Accountant who is directly responsible to the Finance Director
oversees the operation of this division of the Finance Department. The Chief
Accountant is responsible for all of the bookkeeping of the City and the Fi-
nancial Report, and also, the writing of all checks for the City.
UTILITIES BILLING
The rapid growth of the Utilities accounts is shown in Table II. Recently,
changes in the water and sewer rates to the customers were made by the City
Council to meet the increased costs of operating water and sewer utilities. It
is hoped that these rate changes will enable heavy users of water, and resi-
dential heavy users of water for summer lawn care, to have a more reasonable
water bill during those periods. The sewer rate, however, had to be raised be-
cause the sewer utility was operating at a deficit.

SPECIAL ASSESSMENTS
The continuous rapid growth of Fridley has required many improvement
projects concerned with the installation of water lines, sewer lines, storm
sewer lines, and street curb and gutter and paving.All of these require prelim-
inary assessment rolls for the public hearings on the improvements and also,
final special assessment rolls so that collection of the money necessary to pay
for these improvements can be billed on the tax statements by Anoka County.
The number of rolls that must be prepared each year keeps the employees of
this division working at a frantic pace. Preparation of these assessment rolls is
not the only function of this division, since it must make assessment searches,
respread assessments when property is divided, and handle prepayments of
assessments.
PUBLIC SAFETY
POLICE DEPARTMENT
There are twenty-two full time employees in this department attempting to
handle the increasing work load. Table III illustrates this work load and the
reason why the size of the Police Department is gradually increasing through
the years.

ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT
The major function of the Engineering Department which is headed by
the City Engineer, who also serves as Director of Public Works is the design
and supervision of the construction of all streets in Fridley. The City Engineer
also works closely with the Consulting Engineers on the construction of sanitary
sewer and water mains, and storm sewer design and construction. In 1966,
4,384 feet (0.830 miles) of sanitary sewer mains were constructed, and 5,762
feet (1.091 miles) of water mains were constructed. Sanitary sewer services
(main to house) amounted to 207, and water services (main to house) amounted
to 215 in number. There also were 18,180 feet of storm sewer lines constructed.

PARKS AND RECREATION
Progress in the Fridley Parks and Recreation Department for 1966 was
highlighted by a multitude of new recreational activities; a comprehensive
park plan was adopted; plans were drawn and approved for the Melody Manor
Park property, to be partially backed with federal funds.
Priority was given to acquisition and develoment of park land and facil-
ities in the region south of Highway 694; Moore Lake beach and park was
expanded; land was leased to the Fridley Little League Association and the
naming of two parks went on within the framework of the program for 1966.
Along with the established schedule of seasonal offerings there were many
new activities originated, a few of which were:
Weekend ski trips to various Minnesota and Wisconsin ski areas for teen-
agers and adults.
Speed skating races at Moore Lake speed track.
Winter Sports Day—cosponsored with the Fridley Jaycees.
Hockey Association of Fridley chartered —4 teams entered.
Physical fitness program—Moore Lake.
Baseball field events day—added to Summer baseball program.
The Parks and Recreation Commission took a major step forward with
organization and establishment of a comprehensive planning program. The
program will fit the interests of citizens plus their needs. Neighborhood talks
(13)
will indicate what people want. Long term planning will be achieved by giving
some time at each monthly meeting for this specific purpose.
Melody Manor Park, 73rd Avenue Northeast, between University and High-
way #65, was completely laid out and planned for development. A model was
created, facility layout plans were drawn and contracts were let for the first
stages of development.
Model of Melody Manor Park
Moore Lake beach and park development included two completely fur-
nished tennis courts with all weather nets, a softball field and large turf area,
expansion of the beach area, installation of apparatus equipment, a set of bas-
ketball standards, and additional sand added to the swimming area.
Locke Park continued to receive a face lifting as part of the never-ending
battle to restore the park to pre-storm condition. Final work was completed on
tree trimming and removal of storm-torn trees. An entrance was created and a
200 car parking lot was provided for picnickers.
Two park areas received official names. Jay Park, named after Dr. Jay
Jedrzejewski, first doctor in Fridley, and Craig Park, named after J. W. Craig.
Jay Park is located north of Mississippi Street between 2nd Streets and Main
Street. Craig Park is on 79th and Alden Way.
Girl Scout Troop 1481 helped in a work project area with the planting of
450 seedlings in Locke Park. Blue Spruce, Jack Pine and Norway Pine were
available for planting.
The department was the recipient of gifts of apparatus for Moore Lake

and Park from Jerry Seeman; flag pole dedicated for Jan Lee Johnson at
Locke Park; speaker system for general use by the Mrs. Jaycees; Norway Pine
at Moore Lake Beach and Park from the Camp Fire Girls; and a donation from
the Golden Valley Garden Club was used to purchase six trees for Locke Park.
The Third Annual State of Minnesota Umpires Clinic was hosted in Fridley
this past Summer.
One problem quite evident during the past year was vandalism within the
park areas. It is up to everyone to keep eyes open for these people who think it
part of their recreation to damage public property.
Chairman of the Parks and Recreation Commission is Robert J. Hughes,
548 Rice Creek Terrace; Vice Chairman is John Dunphy, 155 Stonybrook Way
Northeast; other members, Edward Fitzpatrick, 5273 Horizon Drive Northeast;
Thomas Cochran, 1171 Lynde Drive Northeast, and James Spence, 6311 Monroe

The State of Minnesota is one of the few that permits Municipal owner-
ship in operation of liquor dispensaries. Fridley operates two on-sale and four
off-sale liquor establishments.
Gross revenues for these stores in 1966 was $1,200,254.23. Cost of sales
and operation expense was $1,036,283.94. Transfer from Liquor Store profits
to the General Fund in 1966 was $100,000.00, which is equal to approximately
6.9 mills that did not have to be levied against the real estate in the City.Trans-
fers to the General Fund for Liquor Store profits since 1949 have amounted to
$705,277.23. The City's equity in the Liquor operation as of December 31, 1966
was $556,883.70.

Auditing firm employed by the City Council. In 1965,the audit was handled by
the George M. Hansen Company of St. Louis Park. The audit for 1966 is being
made by Touche,Ross, Bailey& Smart.
The Civil Defensefunctionof the City received a severe test following the
tornadoes in 1965 and rose to the occasion most admirably. The director is
Robert Molinaro. He presently is laying out a warning system for disasters,and
it would be expected that the necessary warning sirens will be installed early
in 1967.
(16)
Principal function of the Sanitation and Health accounting classification is
health inspections of restaurants and food handling establishments, and also,
the investigations of complaints relative to unhealthful conditions in various
neighborhoods.
Street Lighting installation, maintenance, and providing of current is done
through Northern States Power Company. In the next four years, Northern
States Power Company will switch over the street lighting in the City of Frid-
ley from 6000 and 10,000 lumen street lights to 175 watt, and 250 watt, mercury
vapor lights. Present street lighting in the City of Fridley is as illustrated in
