All three contractors met state approval and posted the necessary bonds with their bids. When the work is begun,- it is contracted to be completed (the first stage) in 30 working days. The second stage which is the seal coating will be done next year, giving the work time to "weather" properly.

Village finances will be managed by Richard Johnson, helped by John Boyle. The police committee will continue to be in the capable hands of Art Nelson with an assist from Rog Kinsey. The new committee is health and welfare with John Boyle for chairman and Rich Johnson serving also. Another new appointment made by Art Stuhlfeier was that of village treasurer. Earl Nelson who held the job for 10 years, asked not to be considered for re-appointment.

Murray received two certificates of achievement from the Chicago police department following successful completion of a 10 week course in "arrest, search, and seizure" and an eight week course in police patrol procedures. To qualify for the certificates, he had to take a final examination at the police academy. This sort of thing, Mr. Murray does on his own time, to provide the finest in police protection for our community. We are indeed, fortunate, to have such dedication at our disposal.
