Attorney Hofert reported that he and the Village President met with State Representative William Carroll to discuss various bills pending in the Legislature and found him sympathetic to the position of municipalities. Mr. Hofert said the Statutes now prohibit the dumping of garbage within one mile of the corporate limits of a city or village, and that there are attempts by persons representing the disposal companies to lift these restrictions to a certain degree.

Mr. Majorca presented a recommendation regarding the proposed ordinance on open drainage as follows: "The Village could require that the edge of the property be cycloned fenced to prevent children from accidently falling into the ditches - and residential property owners from using the ditches as a dumping ground. The Village cuuld legalize its gentlemen's agreement to require the concrete paving of all inverts and require proper slope on the side walls sodded or seeded to prevent erosion."
