Prospect. The type of surface desired has been indicated to be a two inch bituminous concrete (I -11). Therefore, we propose the following: It is hereby agreed between Alfini Construction Co. and the Board of Trustees of the Village of Mount Prospect that - 1. Alfini Construction Co. shall finish the streets in both the First and Second Additions with a two inch bituminous concrete (I -11) surface. In the Second Addition, Alfini Con- struction Co. agrees to: a. Defer the application of the surface finish of the street for at least one year after the base is down. b. Apply one prime coat within thirty days after the base is down and another just before the application of the finished surface. Apri15, 1955 c. Guarantee the streets for a 497 period of one year after final inspections by the Village Engineers; any damage will be repaired. 2. Alfini Construction Co. shall be required to proceed with the ditching in the Second Addition in the same manner as work performed in the First - ddition, except that Alfini Construc- tion Co. agrees to use added precautions by jetting the ditches under the supervision of the Village Engineers, with water to be metered by the Village and used only at [:: such times as approved by the Village Water Department. 3. Fees due under Ordinances 302 and 348 on both the First and Second Additions, pertaining to permit fees for Public Improvements and water hook -on charges, are waived in consideration of five acres of land donated to the Village of Mt.
