Lams, President Gentlemen: Approximately a year and a half ago I appeared before the Village Board of Trustees at a regular business meeting and explained the action that I was then proposing to take to cleaJ up a situation that was at the time a problem facing the Village of Mount Prospect. I refer specifically to the property at bhe southeast corner of the intersection of Counci: Trail and llierson Street, then an unincorporated "island" lacking public sidewalks on two sides and lacking curb, gutter~ and paving for a distance of 216 feet in the east half of Emerson Street. Some time prior to the above described meeting, in a con- versation with President Lams, I was infoffaed that because of the public benefit to be derived, I could expect to be re- imbursed by the Village of Mount Prospect in the amount of ten percent (10%) of the cost of improvements producing public benefit. _o<~<tr" This is a request for such reimbursem.ent in the aIaount of $205.26 this ~aount being ten percent (10%) of a total ex- penditure of $2,052.60 for payments for work and materials as follows: :~.,.: ....-.....~ \...,~...."

Respeotfully, w. C. Wainright To: Village Council Members Mount Prospect, Illinois We, the undersigned Residents of the area near to East Highland Avenue and North Main Street in the Village of Mt. Prospect, Illinois, do petition the council a~ainst granting permission to any Club or Organization to hold a arnival in any vacant land areas adjacent to the Veterans of Foreign Wars Clubhouse located at the corner of "North Main Street and Highland Avenue in Mount Prospect, Illinois. We believe suoh carnivals result in a Disturbanoe of !he Peace to adjacent residents from music on the Carnival Grounds, from moving traffic within the area, and from Loud Speakers advertising Carnival games or Wares long after hours accustomed f'or rest of the area residents. Such carnivals create Health hazards from debris scattered by the winds to nearby residents yards and further cause considerable more work by these same residents in cleaning up debris after such carnivals. We bring to the Councils attention the narrowness of Highland Avenue sl A Petition February 5t 1957
