Survey Village For Mosquito Abatement Cost At the regular village board of trustee meeting, March 13, bills were presented and ap­ proved in the following funds: General Fund $1,041.73 and the MFT Fund $420.22. Special guests for the evening were the complete village board of the Village of Sunrise Ridge who were present to observe procedures of a municipality. Clerk Lillegard presented a proposal for mowing of the beach, village hall and ball diamond for the summer. A request was relayed to the board for Clark Outdoor Spraying Company to survey the village by means of using a helicopter. This survey would be for a proposal to the village board as to cost for mosquito abatement. Permission was granted to allow the survey and arrangements for flying the ^helicopter over the village would be arranged through the police department.
