Monday Evening 7:00 to 9:.30 P.M. 2-1/2 Hrs. 40 Hrs. Thi s schedule has been di s cus sed with the pre sen t office personnel and is far more acceptable than the present schedule. It is believed that Monday night, being an tfofftt night affords a better opportuni ty for residents to transact business at the Village hall than Friday evening, the shopping night. It will be desirable to have the offices open Saturday morning until March 1 of this year for the accommodation of persons purchasing Village vehicle licenses. However, a plan to purchase licenses by mail next year should entirely eliminate the need of Saturday hours. ~,A Respectfully submitted, S/ H. G. Appleby Village Manager ~''Y'~ v. '1>0' r"""'- ,,_.i After some discussion from the audience pertaining to the advisability of establishing Village e~ening hours on Friday 6yening instead of Monday evening, a show of hands by the audience indicated a preference of citizens present for Monday evening as opposed to Friday evening. It was moved by Trustee Willer and seconded by Trustee Broad that the recommendation of the Village Manager pertaining to office hours be put into effect beginning March 3, 1958. A citizen suggested that the change of hours be published in the Mount Prospect Herald. The President put the question and the Clerk called the roll, with the following response: Ayes: All; Nays: None, whereupon the President declared the motion carried.

Mrs. Charlotte Wolf, mother of the writer, suffered a very severe heart attack. At the urgent recommendation of Dr. Bagnuolo by phone, we phoned the Mt. Prospect Fire Department Inhalator squad. 'l'he response to the call was both gratifyine and over- whelming to this tax payer. . In two minutes the squad car WB.S at the front door with emergency light on, marking yhe.residence plainly. In four minutes the inhalator squad was here and 30 seconds more were administering oxygen to the desperate patient. By the time the physician arrived in another five minutes the patient was definitely better and beyond danger of succumbing to the attack. The police did a rurther service in another few minutes by meeting an ambulance at the village limits and guiding them to our door, thereby saving more precious time. It is beyond us to say for sure, but we feel that one of our family was very close to death and that the excellent cooperation of the Police Dept. and speed of the inhalator squad is partly responsible for Charlotte Wolf being with us today. Our entire family wishes to express our thanks to every man involved in the above incident for a job well done. Each a.:r:td everyone of them can be proud of his performance that ni.ght. Gratefully, S/ Walter Wolf. . Trustee Airey referred to a List of Library Bills incurred dl&ing the month of December, 1957.
