Recognizing ! that many of these activities are of a controversial nature in respect to necessity for the welfare of the village, it is realized that they can be reduced if not eliminated. There has been much interest in the provision of parks and playgrounds, and some land already set aside. These should not be accepted in the plats unless the village intends to develop and maintain them. Some of the general interest in favor of playgrounds stems from concern over juvenile delinquency, but I believe most of it has been stimulated by a sincere interest in making the village a desirable residential area. If a playground or park program is to be developed, plans must be fostered as early as possible. The expenditures for village planning cover a wide scope of problems. Those that appear to be most pressing are the continuation of land use studies on all plats or other developments in the village. We have all seen the value of technical assistance in planning and to achieve the most from what has been done continued technical help will be necessary. Another problem of paramount importance is the correction of faulty sewage disposal systems throughout the village that are currently causing distress to individuals and . producing a cause for alarm in endangering human health. This has been called to our attention a number of times by our Health Officer and also by the State Board of Health. Failure on the part of the Council and citizens of the village to provide for the future handling of this problem does not release the Council of the present responsibility facing the village. Correction of sewer problems . will have to be enfo~ced and alternate means of sewage disposal studied. The question of participating in Roseville's sewer district number two should also be investigated. Unless sewer rental from Roseville or some adequate sewer relief is provided soon in areas with a critical sewage problem, relief by anne~tion to Roseville will no doubt be undertaken.
