fill. Motion passed by a five aye vote.

necessary to fill this property and he also brought up the question as
to what could be done to prevent people from dumping garbage into the
fill area. The Attorney stated that -tc the present time, the Villal4e

t^ 30 feet from 3rd Avenue to 6th Avenue would cost an estimated
1,080 or $0.75 per iro.nt foot.
Gerald Hall, 450 Quantico 1,ane, appeared and stated that the five foot
width between the end of his driveway and the beginning of the paving
is always muddy and the storm sewer catch basins are 30 feet wart and
are in the mud. Councilman O'Fallon stated that when storm sewer was
installed in this area, monies were set aside to pave this street after
the sanitary sewer was installed. The Administrator stated that approx-
imately $100000 was dropped from the storm sewer assessment because
the .,treet was not to be paved at that time. The Engineer recommended
that this street not be widened at this time and that in the ging,
the Village road crews could do some shouldering work with crushed
rock in this area.
