As a portion of this improvement lies within the village of Mount•Prospeot and as they involve some changes there, these plans are submitted to you for approval. You understand, of oourse, that we propose the opening of a new street paralleling the Right of Way of the C & N. W. Ry. for a portion of the distance through the village. I wish in particular to call to your attention the following other features of the plans: The aligment as shown by the speoial sheet from Station 135 to 165 is insisted upon by the state as a condition to their approval of the plans. This alignment, you will note, will make neoessary the removing of the shoed at the right at the right of station 137 -50 between the Mount Prospect Creamery and the garage. It is believed t at this shed is upon the street at present. It in probable that a Ithilt of the sidewalk south of the oreamery will have to be removed also, _.'..__ Further you will note that our plans requiring the lowering of the grade at the Elmhurst Road intersection at Station 164 by approximately two feet. This will make worse and already bad railroad crossing, but it Gould not be avoided without excessive filling to the west of this intersection. And we understand that you have under consideration the closing of this owing in connection with the paving of Elmhurst Road en Main Street. With this exception, that portion of this road which is upon the present ,village streets will have a grade that the present village streets will have a grade that agrees very closely with that of the sidewalks now in places. We would be pleased to have you advise us of your action in the matter and of your willingness to assume responsibility for damages resulting from the building of the highway according to these plans. Very truly yours, Signed L. M. Arms* : �______ L. M. Arms, Engineer of Designs." " Thereupon the clerk read the following Contract for drilling well, " Contrast.
