Mrs. Oscar Olson of 69 N. E. 98th Street, thanked the Council
for the new fence at the Community House and stated that the mothers would
like to have a merry-go-round and slide in the playground, and that if the
Village could not afford to purchase this equipment, the Woman's Club would
help. It was pointed out to Mrs. Olson that a merry-go-round was removed
from the playground because a child had been injured on it. The Village
Manager stated he would look into the possibility of moving the slide from
Barry Field if it is not being used or buying another one. The Council advised
that this would be taken under consideration. The request for shrubbery
around the fence was turned over to the Park Superintendent.

The Village Manager read a report of recommendations made by
the Swimming Pool Committee which were to be discussed further at a

903. 00 for two coats
Discussion followed concerning the advisability of using two coats
and a painter who specialized in pool work. Mr. Franco moved that we
accept the bid of the Frank Snary Co. for two coats of paint at $950.00, with
the specification that it be brush painted. The motion was seconded by Mr.
Carpenter. Mr. Franco then added approval for an expenditure of up to $90. 00
for the cleaning and painting of the ladders and diving boards, upon negotiation
by the Village Manager, and the motion was unanimously passed.
A petition for a traffic light at 95th St. and N. W. 2nd Ave. was
presented to the Council by Mrs. Earl Morrow of 142 N. W. 94th Street, and
signed by over 100 residents in this vicinity. Mr. Carpenter moved that
we take this petition under advisement and that this problem be taken up
with the County in an effort to help us get a traffic light at this location. The
motion was seconded by Mr. Reynolds and passed unanimously.
