Mr. John Bundock stated the plat showed a corner of his property used for street purposes althoufithe developer had never approached him about the matter.

The work could be completed by fall. He stated that-Baxter and Woodman's estimate for this work was $49,920, although this amount undoubtedly included removal of the exce'ss:7earth from the site. He pointed out that installation of a substantial chain link fence would be required around the excavation, and that it would mean that construction of the reservoir should not be delayed until 1969, as heretofore planned. Part of the excavated material can be used by the Park District, and hopecully, some can be sold. Work would be completed in the fall. The fencing could be used for tennis courts and reservoir facility when the reservoir ¢ onstruction is completed.
