Discussion centered on the possibility of obtaining a
tar kettle for road patch work. Terzich indicated the
possibility of using a tar kettle presently owned by Glen-

rental fee should be paid to the hospital for the use of
such tar kettle.
Terzich explained the request of Mr. Bossert to place
curb and gutter in front of his property in conjunction
with the proposed street improvement program on Plymouth
Avenue west of Hampshire. Mr. Bossert indicated he would
have such curbing placed and paid for by himself. Motion
by Putnam seconded by Pinch carried to approve the installa-
tion of such curb and gutter by the owner, subject to the
fact that the village engineer will establish grades and
that the village attorney will render an opinion pertaining
to the legality of such procedure, and also that some agree-
ment be obtained from the owner to save the village harmless
from any and all accidents or other damages, such agreement
to be reported to the Council.
On the matter of the possibility of accepting further
petitions for street improvements for the current year,
Council indicated that no new petitions would be accepted
excepting in certain cases where the petition would be to
extend an area for which a street improvement program is
contemplated this year and where the streets would join
or abut on projects currently under consideration.
