Please be advised that these funds will be available to the village board after our final project, a Home Talent play, to be given February 23, 1.951. This recommendation passed by the PTA is in regard to the discussion with your Board by our Safety Chairman, Mr. William Hartman, "m% concerning the safety hazards existing at the intersections of Gregory and Main Sts. and • Lincoln and Pine Sts. in our Village. A mutual agreement Was reached in these discus- sions vd th your Board that there was an urgent need for two adults, under the supervision of the police dept., to patrol these intersections while the children were coming and going to school to protect their safety. It was also disclosed during these discussions that the Village Board did not have sufficient funds to carry out this Safety grogram at this time. The PTA was called upon to consider gluing funds to help enable the Village Board to initiate this safety measure. It is for this reason that the PTA, saw fit to appropriate 50% of their 1950- 51 project funds in order to pet this safety protection under way. We trust that this plan will be nut into immediate effect, without further delay. Cordially yours, Mrs. Carl B. Bick, Pres. Mt.
