M~s. Lester Ayres of 409 Dale arose, stating she had read Trustees
in the newspaper that Mr. George R. Busse was being considered as
appointee to replace Trustee Bickley, who was consideming resigning
because of campaign pressures in his bid for nomination as States
Attorney. M~s. Ayres stated she thought that inasmuch as Mr. Busse
is in the real estate business theme might be a conflict of interests
if he took a seat as a T~ustee. Mr. Geomge R. Busse was present, and
replied that he saw no conflict, that he was not interested in the
Village insurance business, had not sold real estate to the Village
for quite some time, and stated that if any case should arise in-
volving his business dealings, he would abstain from a vote, just
the same as anyother trustee does in the same circumstances.
