into the Library parking lot. Discussion.. Madden will put up a sign... Ald.

the street. Ald. Simmons has the specifications ready for office space at the main-
tenance building.
Lights, Telephone & Gas: Ald. Hanback reported lighting of,the Library parking lot
will be taken care of as soon as it is determined whether the alley is a private
driveway or not. Supt. Madden researched the street lighting in Countryside and eve
homeowner is to put in a yard light 5' back of the sidewalk in front of their homes
and this is all that was to be done. He feels that when the entire area is built up
this should be sufficient lighting. The center boulevard street lighting is to be p
in by the city.
Building & Zoning: Ald. Hanback asked if something could not be done to get apartme
builders to complete their buildings before anyone moves in that no landscaping is
done or walks. Supt. Madden stated something is being done to get this situation
taken care of.

will be done in the next few days.
