Trees - gated the backgrounds of the two lower bidders for tree spraying,
Spraying Hamer Hargrave and Fowler Tree Surgery, and had checked with the
Illinois Natural History Survey as of March, 1963 regarding those
villages who had had the most effective tree program since 1959.
He found that this village under Nels Johnson's care has had a
consistent elm tree loss ratio under i%, and 2% is considered
good. Tmustee Casterline recommended the hiring of Nels Johnson
in view of his past record and the fact that claims against his
fimm for damage were few and promptly settled. Tmustee Bruhl dis-
sented, giving his opinion that the lower bidders would be able to
turn in as good a job if carefully supervised by the Village.
Trustee Caster/~ne, seconded by Trustee Bickley, moved to accept
Nels Johnson's bid at $1.59 per tree (as shown in the minutes of
October 15) for tree spraying.
