Mr. Robert Bayne 7 North Emerson St. Mount Prospect, Illinois Dear Mr. Bayne: I have checker the Atwood situation relating to Block 7 in Randview Highlands and find that the original plat which was recorded as Document o. 9365227 on August 7, 1926 and appearing in Book 270 of Plats at Page 46, shows a public alley 16 feet in width in the rear of all of the lots facing Foundry Road. The remainder of the subdivision showed only an easement in the rear of the lots. I have been unable to locate any vacation of this public alley. Consequently, you are advised that a public alley exists subject to the full jurisdiction and control of the Village Board. To make doubly Sure, it might he advisable to cheek the Village records to see if there was any vacation of said alley since 1926. The records in the County Recorder's office do not show any such vacation. Very truly ,yours, FMO:AGH Frank M. Opeka There being no further business to come before the meeting, a motion was made by Trustee Viper, seconded by Lange, that the meeting be adjourned.
