S 1 After it was learned that the Brooks Company hid on specifications calling for more pipe, Mr. Phillips moved that we accept the bid of Brooks Paving Co. , first because he felt we would get better drainage from this bid and second, because Mr. Collins had an opportunity to re-figure his bid accord- ing ccording to the request of our Building Department.

Phillips moved that in view of the opinion from our Village Attorney dated February 15th which dealt specifically with the reverter clause in the deed whereby this property could not be used for anything other than a municipal use and further substantiated by a letter from Bessemer Properties, we must regretfully deny the request of the Chambei of Commerce to build on Village Hall property.

E. 101.st .Street, was present to ask the -3- 3/6/556 Council about regulations concerning the use of concrete buttons on parkways. He was informed that although we do not have an ordinance, we have been re- questing the people to, set them back five feet from the road. He stated he used them to protect his sprinkler system and that he had other parking area for his guests without using the parkway. The Mayor requested that this be carried on the agenda until some policy is adopted. Final action on the revised .Zoning Ordinance was deferred for two weeks. Concerning the modernization of street lights, Mr. Frank J. Miller of the engineering firm of Jack F.
