March 4 at 10:45 p.m. our end of Broadway had some real excitement during the big winds. The circuit bort on the 700 block of Broadway was sending up huge briliant red sparks that lighted the sky and the line was down. Of course as usual all the people on Meadow Hill were^ with out lights and heat. We are on a very poor circuit Mid when every one else in the Highlands has lights our two blocks are in darkness. Garbage cans were blown for blocks, trees snapped, shingles off, I was surprised to find our picnic table had been blown over, the wind was very frightening to say the least. Amuviauon News In spite of the blizzard the community center was filled. The people voted to dispense with the regular monthly meeting, so we could have a panel discussion on the new bill 664. The following men were on the panel to answer iall questions and to explain the bill to the residents, Walley Dean, McHenry Township supervisor, Chuck Miller, Road Commissioner, Harry Freund, township auditor, Walter Anderson, township clerk, and John Licastro, attorney from Lakeland Park, and Kenneth Merley, attorney from Lakevlew subdivison. Mr. Licastro spoke "first and explained the local improvements, chapter 139,. section 143. After his talk and explanations, Mr. Merley spoke against having the new roads. After much discussion oh this topic, the rest of the panel sat very patiently answering the many questions being fired at them. Mr. Miller assured the residents the survey if approved by the board, would be paid for by the township road funds. All roads that have been black topped would give the residents a pro-rated assessment. I am afraid most of us came home more uninformed and confused than we were befote we attended the meeting. I am sure most of the residents are in favor of roads for the our community and after we are fully informed the rest will follow Suit. Clean Stream program was asked to return at a later date to talk to the people. The meeting had lasted until 10 p.m. and it was too late^JtcL^ao justice to his talk.
