We wish especially to call your attention to the fact that .the annual appropriation bill approved July 7, 1926, provided for $31,500.00 to â€"cover maintenance expenses for the fiscal year beginning May 1, 1926, of the General, Road and Bridge and Water Departments and included $2,200.00 for the reâ€" _demption of funding bonds.

Yours very truly, JAMES J.. HOOD, $ President Village Board. â€" May 5 ,1928. T H E P R ES 8 Mr. George Engstrom, Comptroller, Village of Deerfield, Illinois. Dear Mr. Engstrom: _ e aeds, As you know, we have handled Deerfleld local improveâ€" ment bonds practically from the beginning.: The first issue we bought was Special Assessment Number 22, which proâ€" vided for Deerfield‘s principal sewer system. _ _ At that time Deerfield local improvement bonds were not well known to bond buyers and were very difficult to sell. Today they enjoy a very good reputation and Deerfield itself is looked upon as one of Chicago‘s choice residential suburbs: , This growth in reputation has been due to a number of causes. Chief among these, in our opinion, was the compreâ€" hensive and wellâ€"designed program of local improvements which has been carried out under the leadership of your mayor, Mr. Hood.. : i% P AsAl ob It has comeâ€"to be recognized by close observers ofâ€"city growth that water, sewer and paving systems must be deâ€" signed to meet the needs of the community and each part must be installed at that time when it is needed orâ€"the comâ€" munity will not grow in a consistent and orderly way. _ __ _ This requires foresight, courage, energy and executive ability on the part of the community‘s officials and, in our opinion, Deerfield has beenâ€"unusually favored in this respect. 2. 3 .._â€"~.
