He said he felt the Board, as elected representatives of the people, should discuss this project in the initial stages, determine the economic feasibility and then go to the people and present to them the opinions of the Board. Attorney Hofert read the draft of a letter to the Cook County Zoning Board of Appeals expressing the Board's views on the proposed zoning amendment discussed at the regular meeting of November 2 . (A copy of this letter is on file in the Clerks office.)

The curb, gutter, storm sewer, and base replacement phase of this project has been completed. The asphalt patching of the base replacement and new base should be done in a day or two. It now appears that the asphalt surface coat will have to be placed next spring. This time delay will only affect the` appearahce of the street and not the riding quality. . It will also give us additional time to see if other base failures will develop. b. Industrial Park Inverts The concrete work on the Pratt and Nicholas Boulevard inverts has been substantially completed. Some of the rough grading and the finishing of the individual storm sewer outlets from industrial plants has also been completed. Mr. Fletcher expects final completion next week. The Nicholas Boulevard ditch north of Greenleaf will be graded by Village personnel, using the new backhoe next week. 2, Tree_ Replacement, Proposals were solicited from local nurseries for replacement of 80 trees for which the Village is responsible. The lowest bid was received from the Berthold Nursery for locally grown stock, The proposal price and quantity has been protected until next spring, at-which time the replacement will take place since our investigation has proved what many foresters and nurseries have told ins about the hazards of "winter kill". Provision has been made to replace the trees in the older neighborhoods with larger balled and burlapped trees so that the new tree will blend better with the others in the parkway► George L, Majorca Village Manager r Chernick� Coney, Garrity, Lewis, Mullen, Zettek; "NAY" - none; "ABSENT" - none.
