Trustee Homer Cazel reported to bridge erected on West Central Ave. to give an approach to the William Plagge estate, which was entirely cut off from outlet onto the road last year through the digging of an enormous storm water ditch to carry water from Deerfield Road. Permission was granted to Robert Hermann to hook onto the sewer on Wilmot Road. The Hermann resiâ€" dence is across the street from the village sewer mains. He will be reâ€" quired to put up a bond and have the work inspected by the village authorities. Trustee Cazel received word from the state that they would furnish 4 carloads of gravel and 2 carloads of sand for the repair of sidewalks on Waukegan Road which were damaged during the construction of the center of the road this past summer. The question of where the cement and labor are to come from was left up to the road and bridge committee. Two serious leaks in the water mains were repaired this past month. One on Deerfield Road was running 7000 gallons per day and on Woodbine Ct., 10,000 gallons per day. Trustee Cole made a motion that the salary of the water superintenâ€" dent, William Johnston, be raised to $1800 per year, which was unanimously accepted. Mr. Johnston was commended for faithful service. Fire Chief Conrad Uchtman asked for permission to increase the Deerfield Volunteer Fire Departâ€" ment personnel from 12 to 18 men, with volunteers for day and night duty. At present there are only three or four men available for day fires and the day shift is to be inâ€" creased. Trustee Marshall Potterâ€" ton, chairman of the fire departâ€" ment committee and the board apâ€" proved the resolution. Trustee John D. Schneider of the license committee reported that the police will give five day notices to all delinquent vehicle tag violators and warrants will be issued for the arrests of persons not paying for the licenses. The approval of the reduction of peddler (junk dealers) licenses from $50 a year to $15 a year was voted and a minimum license of $5 will be charged for the remainâ€" der of 1940.

Willman to apâ€" pear before that board on Sept. 12 at 9:30 a. m. at Chicago to explain the overâ€"issuance of tavern licenses in violation of the village ordinance. Attorney Milton O. Olson stated that he would be unable to act as counsel for the mayor as he was representing the village board of trustees in bringing about this hearâ€" ing. Trustee Pottenger moved that the board "quash" the suit, but it failed to get a second. He attacked his fellow members verbally for bringing suit against the mayor, who had served the village so faithâ€" fully. Truste Edwin M. Palmer moved that the board allow the mayor $50 for an attorney for his counsel, but this, too, failed to get a second. Trustees Cazel, Cole, Crush and Schneider all stated that it was up to the mayor to appear and explain his issuance of three licenses when the ordinance allowed but two. The closing hour of 1 a. m. is being enforced by the police. Trustee Pottenger explained that The Deerfield Village Board met Skirte Marked and Shortened Also sold «t IADA $Hur, Collins SELF SKIRT MARKER Orders sine taken for Pinking Shears Chalk your hem the easy profesâ€" sional way. bulbâ€"and mark an accurate hem _ in 60 seconds!
