Portz, 2700 Webster Avenue-said there was only one little crack in the entire stretch. Paul H. Johnson, Jr. 2708 Webster Avenue said that the 60¢ estimate is too high; that his sidewalk is not in bad condition, and why not wait two years? Mr. Allan E. Sklader, 2928 Ottawa Avenue wanted to hear fr6m the Village Fngineer as to what-is needed to be repaired in front of his house. Arvo Lappako, 3371 Brownlow Avenue said that his sidewalk was broken by"the Contractor who drive over the sidewalk when bringing equipment into lot to dig the basement. Said it would be fine to repair the two or three blocks. John Shaefer, 5900 Goodrich Avenue asked if all the sidewalk had to be replaced. He was told no, only the damaged part. He asked if it would be cheaper to do the job by private contractor or by village contract - was answered by Donald Frantz. Mr. Phillips asked Donald Frantz if it would*be cheaper to fill under a sunken block or to replace the block. Mr. Frantz said replacing is more satisfactory. Oscar Orbeck, 5819 Cambridge asked if he could tear up his entire sidewalk and replace same with sod. Said only part of the block has sidewalk. Folke Johnson, 5815 Cambridge said that there are'only three people who have sidewalk in their block, and asked if we could compel the other owners in the block to construct sidewalk in front of their homes - it would make the whole block look better. Another man (name not given) said that the people are confused as to what is going to be done. Trustee Jorvig said that we plan to reconstruct only what is deemed necessary. The Village Engineer will determine exactly what is to be done. M. W. Farnam, 7605 West Lake 5t. asked what part will bei°;fixed. Engineering Department told him that four squares needed fixing, but feels" that eight squares should be fixed. S. J. Gustafson, 3805 Jopps Avenue said the repairs needed to his sidewalk are so small that he feels the project could be set aside. His son told him that the sidewalk round the Brookside School is bad.
