The metered comsumption of water from the period of the middle of June to the middle of July,1966 was 95,744,000 gallons of water. This reflected an increase of 36,351 ,900 gallons over the previous month and approximately 36,000,000 gallons over July of 1965. We can determine of this 36,000,000 gallons that about 20,000,000 gallons of the increase occurred in the industrial area and about 16, 000,000 gallons of the increase occurred in the residential area. We are preparing and checking for accuracy now a summary table represent- ing consumption figures broken down by industrial, commercial, residential, about three other classificathns for the past 3 years. It will reflect the amount of consumption that has taken place in the various categories. 2. Receipt of 1 bid to date on sidewalk along Tonne Road and would prefer to wait to receive at least one written proposal before we submit for the Board's action. 3. Referring to the elm tree program, Mr. Otto of the Davey Tree Company and Jack Andrews of the Street Department toured the Village and they determined there were 5 diseased elm trees.

Mr. Otto submitted a proposal of $150. for the removal of the dead elm trees and Mr. Majoros and Mr. Andrews feel this is in line with previous quotations made in the past years. They will probably authorize the work tomorrow. The amount of $150.00 is about 00.00 per tree. 4.

During the discussion,Mr. Majoros stated that trees need planting along parkway on Charing Cross Road near the high school property and other church property also.
