with the negotiations for dtA-*. annexation of

since it was his experience that negotiations were futile without the principals.

with the annexation of other, properties in Cook County without Soil Testing.

tions be continued and that the President or a Trustee personally arrange a meeting
with principals of ';'oil .Testing for purposes of negotiating. President Hearn

Authorize Bids - Elm The conservation of elms in the Village was
Tree Spray discussed, the manager suggesting that trees
was hopeful all wrong connections would
on Village property be sprayed this year,
since a program of sanitation was undertaken last year instead of the spray.
He stated annual losses of elms were from 40/0 to 51/,, of the total trees on village
property, with about the same percentage on private property. He further stated
village employees take samples of trees on private property if it appears they
might be diseased, and send these samples to the State for testing. if the test
is positive, the owner is requested to remove the tree, with Village employees
hauling away the wood if it is moved to the curb. He reported both Lake Forest
V
and Highland Park follow an annual spraying and sanitation program. President

to replace those removed. It was the consensus of the Board that the manager
take bids for elm tree spraying to be returned for the next meeting.

water mains to serve the club. They stated
the Toll Road Commission will ask for sewer and water service for the Toll

accomplished. Mr. Axelrood was requested Jo check into the effect of providing
sewer and water service to premises outside the village, since there is a law
suit pending relating to the same circumstances.
It was stated Tennaqua could be annexed as an R -1 District without a
public hearing, but a hearing must be held for a Conditional Use for the operation
of the Club. It was the consensus of the Board that Tennaqua should be annexed,

lookdd with favor on their petition for annexation, and that the matter of the
Toll Road service was being checked by the attorney.
