Schatz, 1329 Oxford Road, complained of frequent flooding of his basement and garage resulting from rainfalls which are not unduly heavy,. and expressed concert: that, despite his numerous complaints to the Village, nothing was..being done to correct the problem. Other basements in his neighborhood are frequently flooded, he stated. Trustee Forrest stated that much of the problem is due to slow flows in the east drainage ditch, where dredging and clean -up of banks is needed. The ditch is not under the jurisdiction bf the Village, but under a drainage commission who are responsible for its maintenance. Trustee Raff stated that he believed that the Village could bring pressure to bear against the agency controlling the stream to see that the stream is opened to accept the water from the Village's storm sewers. The Village attorney will be asked to look into the matter. Trustee Craig stated that, as a result of two letters received regarding scavenger service, it was now his opinion that the present ordinance should be enforced and all refuse, including grass clippings and garden waste, should be picked up at the house. He recommended that information on present regulations be given to all residents, who should call the Village if all refuse is not removed. A discussion of scavenger service will be taken up at the next meeting. President Finney reported that a letter from the Lake County Health Department had advised that the water in Lake Eleanor is unsatis- factory for swimming. A report that raw sewage is entering the west drainage ditch near Duffy Lane will be referred to the Health Department. A letter was received from Mr. Earl Broms, 160 Deerfield Road, regarding the construction of a sidewalk on his frontage.
