The MacDonald property is being seeded to grass this week t and one
of the ball infields will be clayed as soon as I ra able to etttortbeclay
from the Lake County Commissioners. Some minor grading is y
done along MonLr:ose Street but this can be done with City owned equipment.
We received a check from ":)..U.D. for their part of the cost of this
property last week.
The cost of .radar equipment- for the Police Department is approximately
$1,000.00. While it is not absolutely essential that two persons be
i
used for its operation it is highly recommended. It is my understanding
that most muni.cipali-ti.es allow ten rniles ill excess of the posted speed i
limit when radar equipment is

to purchasing radar
to us. Our press+nt difficulty.iss is having
special benefit cover
at the right place at the right time. It :is simply impossible to
all parts of the city regularly or often.
I have forwarded to Mr. Dake the corrections to the proposed
zoning map. He 'phoned me yesterday and advised that he was making the
necessary changes and that we would be ready for a public hearing the early
part of August.
The matter. of improving Montrose Street, in the downtown area,
was referred to me for a cost estimate. A joint meeting of some members
of the Planning Commission, representatives of the DownTown Merchants
held about three weeks ago. Following this
Association and myself was
submitted plans which were acceptable to

There is also the matter of side walks to be replaced, This is also
the responsibility of the property owners and the cost Will run at $2.00
to $3.00 per lineal foot (depending on the tridth) and this does not
include removing the old cement. The overall project- is rather expensive
- 2 -
and, in my opinion, the property owners and businessmen should be in accord
before the project starts. it is my further recommendation that none
of this work be done prior to installation of sewer mains. I will continue
to work with the Downtown Merchants and the Planning commission and
will keep you advised.
I am happy to report that H.U.D. has agreed with some of our
arguments and cancelled the $9400.00 loan which they made to us many years
ago for sewer system plans.
