Northeast \Vqper Shed
SMewdlks Shewed
The proposal to lay sidewalks
at the Northeast Water Shed, in-herited
from the previous ad-ministration
was tabled by the
Village Board at Its meeting Fri-day
night. The cost would have
been more than $400.
Otto J. Christ said that few
people used the side of the street
fronting on the water plant, as
the houses all were on the other
sMe of the street, and alao lacked
sidewalks. He suggested that
these people be required to lay
sWewalks or that the village do
the work for them and assess the
cost against the property.
Mr. Christ also named streets
m the northern area of the vil-lage
which he sale* lacked slde-walka.
At Mayor Clinton M.
Mint's request, he promised to
put the list in wrlUng. The May-or
promised action.

To Enter Service
Under Qie original terms of the
Lanham act, passed by Congress,
the Government was to grant
funds for establishing such cen-tres
and their maintenance, while
the various communities were to
furnish volunteers to assist the
professional staffs. With this In
mind, the Board of Education ap-plied
for funda for .two centres,

Saturday night or Sunday
morning before 9 o'clock. Trucks
will make a complete tour of the
village picking up all metal
available. They will dump their
loads at the northeast water
shed, from where it will be sold
and the proceeds given to the
Civil Protection authorities with
which to finance their efforts!

Recently the Government
granted $7,826 to the village for
these centres. But with the grant
information was received that the
terms had been changed, and a
community receiving an appro-priation,
must contribute an
equal amount toward the support
of the project.
This came as a shock to the
school board, as it had no funds
with which *to meet this demand.
