to be held January 13, 1968 to vote
ately 130 acres of land including the
center and the issuance of $1,300,000
not to exceed six percent per annum.
A lengthy discussion ensued on the use and acquisition of the brickyard
property. Trustee Forrest pointed out that the Village Board had considered
purchase eight or nine years earlier and the price had been substantially
higher than it now appears the property can be purchased for. The Village
attorney stated the property could be condemned if the offer to purchase is
not accepted and the total amount of bonds need not be issued if the cost
is less than:$1,300,000.
Petition Opposing Apartments Messrs. John Gruber, 153 Plum Tree,
and James Polhamus, 239 Pine, presented
petitions signed by 783 residents opposing the construction of apartments in or
adjacent to the Village, whether they be the proposed high rise development
or other apartments elsewhere in the Village. They said the signers lived
in all sections of the Village and many more signatures could have been obtained
easily had there been more time. Both men had circulated petitions and had
found great interest and strong opposition to apartment developments. They
stated that the citizens were not apathetic and were very concerned about
the proposed development, and they felt that there would be a good turnout
for the election. They asked what they could do to -help. President Finney
thanked them for their efforts and stated the Board welcomed such expressions
of opinion.

B & W Report Re: New A report from Baxter and Woodman on the

In
to serve the proposed Richards Subdivision of the Clavey tract would be connected

additional load, the estimated cost being $2,400. Surface drainage of the school
U
site and the proposed subdivision would enter the west ditch at Lake Eleanor.

taking the sewer under Deerfield Road would reduce the already limited amount
for classrooms and educational equipment.
