Board of Trustees,

112 E. Northwest Highway,
Mt. Prospect, Illinois
Dear Sir:
We have been informed that the Mt. Prospect Villa~e
trustees are seriously consider1:ng approval 0 f the plat of
subdivision submitted by Mr. Bluett for the potential
development of 200 homes on the former Schroeder farm
property. We understand that otbsr subdividers and
individuals have been requested to contribute land or
monies to the pertinent school district prior to trustees
approval of such developments within village limits, as
well as within a mile and a half radius of village limits.
As you may well know, most school districts are
financially limited as to their capacity to build additions
to the existing school plants 0 l'his scbool district is in
just such a situation, since present school building is
closely approaching its capacity. ~De addition of 200
homes in the school district wou_ld require substl?-D.tial
addi tional construction at a cost far in excess of the
districts present limited bondinp' power. We wou1d
appreciate serious consideration on the part of the Village
trustees towards secu.rinp; financial assi stance from the
builder prior to approving his plat of subciv1.sion.
vie understfl_nd the t on April 16th the villacJ'e trustees
v.rill again consider approv81 of the Bluett plat of suo-
divisi6n, and we wou1d apprecia~e an invitiation for
o.fficial representation of tbi s school "hl)ard at thi s meet-

Dear Mr. Teichert:
I herevJi th deliver to you the request of Brickman

permi t to pave a portion of Highland Avenue.

man is willing to accept as payment for d05.ng the paving
work, all of the special assessment bonds. In the event
such a program is adopted, Brickman will tben cancel those
