Alderman Hansen, Chairman of the Streets and Sanitation Committee,
reported that the electrical contractors are now trying to find out what
the trouble is with the lights in Cumberland, Cumberland Terrace and the
downtown area. Alderman Hansen hoped the contractors could find the cause
of the trouble within a short time. '
The Mayor mentioned that he already has had calls from two
different companies in regard to the bond issue on parking lots.
Mayor Meyer also reported that he had an appointment tomorrow
morning with the president of the Benjamin Electric Manufacturing Company
on the smoke problem.
Mayor Meyer also mentioned that he had attended a meeting with
the Mayor of Park Ridge and another official in regard to the proposed
cemetery to be located at the southwest corner of Cumberland and Denpster
Roads. Actually'we would not have too much to say concerning this item,
due to the fact the cemetery would be more than one and one-half (1-) miles
from Des Plaines; Park Ridge and Niles would naturally be affected more.

declared the motion carried.
