Acacia Park Cemetery Gentlemen and Madam: Z write ta you in my capacity as attorney for Park Cemetery. As you are all aware, aur office has represeni Park Cemetery for a period substantially in excess < years in its attempt ta clarify the zoning and u.se : its South and East Additions. The cemetery's Board tees has, I think, demanstrated great patience and < tion for the planning problems which the city has f� continu.es ta £ace in the city's west end. The Trusi appreciate the uncertainties presented by the arnbigi of both the Highway Department's developmental p1an: potential future uses for the Metrapali.tan Airport t properties. , However, the Trustees' patience has warn thin, behalf, attarneys from our offices have appeared on of occasions before the City Councii and the Plannii sion, and I have pexsanally consulted with Barbara ] and Haward Dahlgren regarding the future af the Aca< praperties.

Mr. Dahlgren expressed his concern disapproval of such an undertaking on that parcel of perty on the ground that he was uncertain as to what going to become of the MAC tract of land. In an effort to explore all possible alternativ returned to the Board of Trustees, who have now appro construction of the proposed maintenance facility on East Addition, in approximately the same location occ by the present maintenance buildings. Prior to expen further sums to prepare detailed plans for that build which will be substantially identical to the building posed for the South Addition except for the possible tion of living quarters on the top of the building an changes for differences in terrain, I thought it best advise you of Acacia Park's intentions and to attempt arrange for substantive negotiations to choose the mo appropriate of these two sites. .976 the per- am- rty. of a e needs d, on a v f or Pur- nd nd ro- s, I ed pied ing ng pro- ddi- to to t Mr. Dahlgren has apparently expressed the belie that a building site on Acacia Park's presently dedicated ro- perty would be more to his liking. However, there is no location on that property which is�suitable, either b reason of unuseable terrain, excessive cover which would cre te a prohibitive expense to remove, or proximity to occupi d grave- sites. - I should like to propose that you discuss among selves and with other concerned city officials the tw ternatives which I have presented herein. I am leavi until August 1, but I would be more than happy to mee your- al- g town with you Mayor ponald Huber Mrs. Robert Ridder Mr. 4rvil Johnson Page 3 ' Ju3Y � . . , infarmally, or at a regular couricil or Planning Comm'ssion • zneeting, to discuss immediate steps which can be tak n to facilitate completion of Acacia Park's maintenance b ilding before this winter. Either constructi.on. site is agreeable to the c metery's Trustees. If it shauld appear that the city is unwi ling to cooperate in arriving at a mutually agreeable locati n far this facility, the cemetery will have no recourse but to esort to iiti.gation to compel the city to act fairly and equi ably with regard to this project. I trust that I will have an oppar�.unity to mee with any �� or all of you at same time prior to August 1.3. Beca se af the long delays which have occurred, it is essential tha this matter be resolved promptly. ��W'C/ph Very truly yaurs, CUMMINS & SHEAHAN, LTD. � t c�-,.,.�. �,,...�.�..�.._�._-, f Carl W.

Amendment to St. Paul Water Contract An attached letter from Elmer Huset, General Manager of the t. Paul Water artment, explains their desire for an amendment to the water s rvice contract. original water service contract was executed in 1962. Since at time a �ber of rate changes have been made, however, there have been n substantive nges to the contract language. A careful reading of Mr. Huset's letter will eal that the present contract does not allow for increasing ra es charged large water users. This is due to the very constrictive perce tage spelled in the original contract for large water users. - I have analyzed their proposal and have the following statemc�nts to make: 1. Mr. Huset's letter is factual, however, he fails to note that the demand or fixed charges for meters larger han one-inch is being increased from 10� in the old con ract to 20� in the new amendment. This is applicable to all customers with meters of 1� inches or larger. This means a potential increase for the limited number of inete s for most non-residential users. Other than this, the 1 tter is quite factual and straight-forward. 2. The amendment will allow St. Paul to charge large w ter users within St. Paul and outside of St. Paul a mor appropriate water service charge. In the past it h s been common knowledge that the wet industries and large ater users were given preferential treatment inherent wi hin the rate structure. 3. As is noted in Mr. Huset's letter, there are severa in Mendota Heights that will be affected by this ch The list submitted includes the Henry Sibley High S Galaxie Company on ivy Hill Drive, Gould, Inc., Min Knitting Mills and Economics Lab. Since new consum are not being esta.blished at this time, I h�ve not to compute the impact of this amendment. users a•7� • hool, the esota tion rates ttempted 4. The new amendment provides for an annual review of tandards by representatives of Mendota Heights and St. Paul. Z'his is a small step toward more cooperative measures and rking relationships. 5. An identical a�ndment was adopted by the City of M plewood tliis past April. In fact, as I understand it, 3M d its large water consumption was the main reason the Wat r ;. M1 r Contract -2- July 15, 1976 Department initiated an increase in commercial rates. In summary, I believe the ainendment is proper and should be I recommend that an approving Resol�tion be adopted, authorizing yor and Clerk to execute the amendment. 0 � r ' EL'v1ER A.

It ' �pears that chemical control is not the total answer and removal of rees is certainly subject to many varying thoughts.

L'gnason HLP is a systemic fungacide which is made to be injected i.nto, or s rayed onto the foliage of a"Elm tree. It is manufactured by th Dupont Co. w ich has pioneered in Dutch Elm research. Dupont has previously manufactured B nomyl iBenolate) which is the forefather�of Lignason� Benomyl roved to b effective only in a few cases, and thus uJas abandoned. Zignas n BLP is a new taater soluable formulation of Benomyl VJhich has been on the market s'nce the middle of I�lay,1976. pont is working with the University of Ifinnesota in reguards to usi.ng L gnason as a cure for Dutch Elm. According to Dr. French, Plant pathologist a the U.of M.; Lignason is still extremely expierimental at this point. �! th as many as t�ao years of experiments and testing of Zignason LP, they h ve not compoundeq conclusive evidence that Ligna�on BI,P is a cu e for Dutch E m Fungus. There h�s been some cases where Lignason has shown s me effects o elms, but the effects shoVm were only short temporary delays i the trees' m rtality. Being a pioneer in Dutch Elm Disease himself;.Dr. Fre ch has worked v ey closely with plant diseases and therefore is a major influen e concerning m st decisions made by the I�Iinnesota Dept. of Agriculture when co sidering a ne�•� herbicide or fungacide for public application. As iar as s ate recomen�dation o Lignason for public use, "this type of application does not pr tect elm trees a,ainst root graft transmissions which a�e a great cause of Dutch Elm Disease s reading in our area. These type of treatments must be made ann aly. :�Jhile e fective to a degree, the cost of treating lar�e numbers of tree and the t me required for injection mal:e this a rather ineffective method of disease c ntrol from a cost-benifit point of view. Some researchers repo t that s mptoms development �•ras only delayed by these treatments and the did not p event tree mortalit3�. The present data to support the use of t is product is i complete Gnd limited. Several other fungacides are presently dergoing t sting at this time. I�:ore testing and time is required to satis y the many q estions raised about i�s use in Dutch Eln control. The basic c ntrol of D D is still identification of diseased trees, disruption of root grafts and t e destruction of dyino elms t,�here elm bark beetles develop." Bel Page � authorized by the State of Mirinesota as t,� bein� a Dutch Elm ector, I have to go along with the State•in �eguards to not eor use of Lignasor for our cit;� trees. I can not go ahead and rec �e use a chemical that is still in the experimental stage. Ii , the state of I�iinn. comes up with any cure for this disease, t niately notify their inspectors of such a discovery. After rec information, I��ill then pass it on to the public of which I, tree s3der comend at any hey will eiving erve. In reference to.professional nurserymen, I have contacted a few ve not-�ble nu serymen of the Twin Cities. ROSL HILI, nurseries of St. Paul is a very ��e 1 established firm which has been working with trees for years. They do not do Lignason Injections. They are working �uith Dr. French in doing some experiments, bu� agree that the fungacide is still to experimental. Once they ind that th ir success ratio is very favorable, they will then start offeri g the in'ection service. PARK NURSERIES of St. Paul is also a very rel able firm. Th y do injections based on the demand of the product. They feel hat the fe �ooc��results that they have received in reports are conclusive enough for th m. As far as personal results themselves, they say that it is ooearly to predect. They are responding purely to the demands of the cons er. BA �EI3iTnSERIES of Newport is very well known for its tree service . After co tacting them I found that they do not do any Lignason injection . They fe 1 trat it is no miracle cure, and that it would be less costly o replant th se areas affected by Dutch Elm Disease. Co tinuing our efforts, we wondered if any other municipalities we wi h Lignason injections. After contacting South St. Paul, Bloomi we found that they were not doing anything with this type of chemo Th y all had many trees to dispose of, and were running short of b l��e t St. Paul has a injection system on order. They feel that it to even t�-,y= to catch up to the boulevard trees, but, they feel tha c try to attempt to save some of the park trees. They did stres do not have enough data to guarantee success. i�o�efull3� too, tra� wi 1 get their injector in time to use it this season. Su cess of Lignason BLP at this time is questionable. Harvey and El� trees are a very beautiful resource, and that we must work tog or er to save them. Thus far we can only justify using the sanita as ect of disease control as set forth by state la4�s.
