Mr. Schmidt, who is 85 years old, lived alone in the little house.

Vandalism at rice rink prompts get tough signs to be installed
Signs will be installed soon warning that if any further vandalism occurs at the warming shelter at the ice skating rink in Colby, the building will be locked up, as the result of action taken by the Colby City Council Tuesday of last week. The council also agreed that the development of a well and water tower in the Industrial Park should be investigated. Facts will be presented by the engineer at the March 3 meeting.
The board also approved the purchase of a welder, torches and other equipment from Hubing Auto Supplies and reviewed a proposal from Honeywell, Inc. for an electronic system to be placed at the water treatment plant to monitor the water tower and upgrade the plant on metering devices. The project was placed on bids and these bids will be opened at the March 3 meeting.
A discussion on the placement of a wall in the city garage to increase the space needed for working on equipment was held. Mike Kaiser, director of public works, will check on prices and report to the City Planning Committee. That committee was authorized to accept or reject the project.
The Equipment Committee reported the purchase of a 1965 IHC tractor and rotary mower. The net cost was $1,700 with trade-in.
Insurance policy quotations were received from Klinner Insurance. The board approved the errors and omissions quote of $680 and the umbrella policy quote of $400.
Operator’s licenses were approved for Gary Leffel and Lucille Huber.
