January 28, 1964 He discovered that on his last stop at 205 S. Emerson St., at the S & W Meat Company he had emptied the S ~ W garbage can and had picked up a woman's leg. Upon investigation we discovered the leg came from a woman about 50 or 55 years old and had been aputated by a doctor. There was evidence that the leg had been removed from the woman because gangrene had set in and the toes were falling off. We a~e' still invetigating the case; checking all hospitals, doctors, ~ Trustee Busse reported that sale was held by the Police Department of. stolen and recovered bicycles, netting a total of $98.00. Trustee Bruhl read the following memo f~om H. G. Appleby: Streets "Cedar Lane is the first street south of Euclid and runs from Wheeling Road to C~abtree Lane, and then again for two or three blocks farthe~ east. The sections in the Village are in the 1300 and 1400 block. "Cedar Drive is in the Elk Ridge Villa area just east of Busse and north of Commonwealth Edison line. It is in the 1400 block. "Inasmuch as Cedar Drive is in the process of development and does not have as many homes on it, it is mecommended that steps be taken to change the name of it to avoid confusion. "There amc also two Sycamore Lanes, one located in the east of Rand- hurst and anotherone along theCommonwealth Edison Line in Elk Ridge Villa. Street numbers will be simila~ in these two areas as well. ~It is ~ecommended that theSycamo~e Lane pa~elleling the Common- ~-~ wealth Edison Line in Elk Ridge Villa be renamed to avoid confusion. "Inasmuch as both these streets with similar names are in opposite ends of the town~ an extremely serious situation could develop in an excited call for fire or police service. In additlon~ the resi- dents are experiencing t~ouSle with mail deliveries." This matter was referred to the Street Committee fom S~udy and Attorney Hofert informed the Boaz~d that the State law now pmovides that street names may be changed by ordi~noes instead of by peti- tion from homeowuers~ as formlerly. Suggestions were made to end the confusion regarding Elmhurst Road, Elmhurst Avenue and its con- fluence with H~. 83 and Main Street; the confusion between Busse Road and Busse Avenue; P~ospect Avenue, Mount Prospect Road and l~ospect Manor; and the verbal similarity between Elder and Alder Trustee Ekmen, seconded by Trustee Busse, moved that the 1964 MFT grass island on Busse Avenue just west of Elmhurst Avenue be curbed with an 18" wide 6" high curb and gutter~ that the radius on the west end of the island be reduced to a 3'foot radius to improve %~affic flow~ and that this work be included in the 1964 MFT poogram.
