This would make a logical boundary as far as private property owners are concerned and would also create a boundary line between the two utilities close to a natural physical barrier in the terrain west of Big Elk Meadows.The estimated costs necessary to provide electric power to Big Elk Meadows from Fish Creek or from Highway 36,plus pur chase of REA facilities would total $100,000.00.The Committee recommends no objection to REA application No.25599 with the above mentioned ex ception.The attached document is made a part of these proceedings. GLACIER BASIN NPS POWER LINE: National Park Service advised Superintendent Dekker of a preference to have the Town assume ownership and maintenance of the Glacier Basin power line with an answer back to National Park Service by early May. The Committee recommends not assuming ownership of the line until nego tiations are made to serve the entire National Park Service Utility Area. STREET LIGHT REQUEST: Eugene Green requested that a street light be installed immediately on Otis Lane with the installation cost of approximately $51.00 being paid by Mr.Green.Current policy for street light installation is for the Town to make the installation at no charge to the recipient following the sequence of the street light schedule with each new request being added to the bottom of the list.Installation is made as budgeted funds become available.The Committee recommends following the regular street light schedule. MONThLY MEETING SCHEDULE: Chairman Petrocine recoimnends a monthly meeting to be held at 4:00 P.M.on the first Friday of each month beginning in May.
