POLICE OFFICERS RECEIVE INCREASE Hie dole which police officers receive has been increased from $30 per month to $40, for regular officers and from $30 to $45 for the police sergeant, as a result of action taken by the village board. The chiefs allotment of $60 remains the same. We are all aware, of course, even the increase doesn't begin to compensate the men for the service which they render their community, and the excellent protection we receive for a mere pittance. The increase will not affect the appropriation for the department, since all payments have been made on die squad car. Road commissioner Harry Lock presented a detailed survey of village roads and made a recommendation that streets graded as poor by the village engineers be brought up to good standard. He also presented the estimated cost and suggested that M.F.T. funds be used for a large portion of the tab. Each trustee has received a copy of the proposed road work. Necessary repairs for this season have been completed, he also stated. New street signs for each intersection had been received and may even be installed, as of this publication. This, too, was in Mr. Lock'^^Iwuliwick. Trustee Parenti reported that he, and Mr. Huff, investigated four homes which are in dangerous condition. They plan action to have the owners correct the condition. The request for additional street lighting has been turned over to the construction department of Commonwealth Edison, and estimates are that the work will be completed by the end of the summer. Next meeting of the board will be held Monday, July 3, and then on Wednesday nights at 8 in the beachhouse. The public is invited.

The disease is" due to this spring's prolonged cool weather, which activated the fungus. Sycamore anthracnose winters in twigs and buds and its spores infect sycamore leaves in the spring soon after they appear. Research has established that if the mean daily temperature is about 50 to'55 degrees during the two weeks immediately after the leaves come out, sycamore anthracnose is likely to be severe. , USE THE CLASSIFIEDS JOHN E.
