Northwest Highway Mount Prospect, Illinois Gentlemen: As you know, the Mount Prospect otate Bank has placed the lot in the rear of the old bank building at the disposal of the Village for parking purposes. Our main reason is to provide a•pa rking area for shoppers only, and toward that end we have placed e sign at the entrance indicating that the lot is to be used for two hour parking. There is one stipulation, however, that the bank employees are to be allowed to use the lot for all day narking and we are identifying their cars with a little sticker, 8 sample of which is enclosed. We would like to have the Police Der rtment of the Village add this lot to their patrolling and in the event outsiders are parked in the area, a warning sticker first and finally a parking ticket be issued, to offenders. Would you please advise us of your action in this regard. Yours very truly, Carl Hamrierl Executive Vice President The Clerk was instructed to advise the bank that according to law, the Village Police Department cannot be used to enforce parking restrictions set up by private owners. The Clerk then read the following letter: March 27, 1952 Mr. Robert Bayne Chairman, Judiciary Committee Village Hall Mount Prospect, Illinois Dear Mr. Bayne: In connection with the tax objections filed against the Village for the years 1948, 1949, and 1950 I wish to advise the following disposition. With Deference to the Road and Bridge tax the 1948 excess rate of .038 has been sustained and all other objections over - ruled. In connection with the 1949 and 1950 taxes the excess rate of .03 on Road and Bridge was sustained and all the others over - ruled. As matters stand the Road and Bridge was really about .05 in excess because the County Clerk failed to abate that portion levied by the two townships. Consenuently having .03 sustained gives the Village an additional amount. With this order entered today it means that I shell be in a position to procure for you a check for the difference within the next week or ten days. Very truly yours, Frank M. Opeka April 1, 1952 . ...................... . 286 The following petition signed by the owners of 18 of the 26 lots mentioned was then read: "We, the undersigned, being the Owners of property as noted hereby mutually agree and request that the following street improvements be made: as per attached proposal as submitted by Milburn Brothers, Inc., in keeping with their specifications subject to competitive bidding, also subject to the Village of Mount Prospect acceptance and if necessary by Bond issue of Special Assessment over a period of 10 annual installments.
