Mr. Auge from Grand Avenue Ford Go. and Mr. Heinen reported that they have been having difficulty filling our order for the Ford Truck because the plant at Canton, Ohio, has been closed. They would like to substitute a better truck (F600) which normally costs $96.57 more, at no additional cost to the Village. This truck meets all specifications except for color. Hammersten moved, Willmus seconded, that we accept the F600 truck instead of the F500 truck from the Grand Ave. Ford Co. at no additional cost to us, that we waive the color designated, and that delivery be made on or before May 21, 1953.

Mr. Brennan who owns some property on Dale St. North of A2 wanted to know if roads which are platted as Rosehill Ave. and Mound View Ave. could be vacated and if he could build a new road between the location of these two streets, from Dale to Mackubin. He was told the procedure was to sub- mit a petition signed by 50% or more of the property owners fronting upon the dedicated streets asking that these streets be vacated. Then easements should be submitted for the new street. He said he had talked to property owners and this was impossible. He was told he would need a tentative plat and contours of the ground before anything could be considered.
