The regular meolmg of the Hunt¬ ley Village Board was held last Thursday, Feb. 6. in tho board room of ,he Vfliage HaU. All members were present with the exception of Mr Leonard Ackman. Following the reading af the minutes, treasurers report, and paying the bills, the board entered into a discussion on the A E. Robinson Company. It ts reported that the A. B. Robinson Company is planning to PUt an addition onto their building. They plan to make a circular driveway around their present building, hav¬ ing two entrances, the present one and one which will come out at ap¬ proximately  Grove  Street.
Cierk Richard Entsrom reported that a permit has been issued to build another four apartment build¬ ing on Douglas Street, next to the present apartment building.
A motion was made by Mr. O'Con¬ nor, seconded by Mr. Fitzi to ap¬ prove an ordinance to establish sal¬ aries for elected officials of the Village of Huntley. The motion car¬ ried 3 to 2 with O'Connor, Fitzi and Olhaber voting yes and Enstrom. Staab, voting no. The ordinance sets the salary for the president of the ViUage of Huntley at »500 per year, the salary for the clerk of the vil¬ lage of Himfley at $450 per year and compensation of the menAers of the ijoard at $15 per meeting. A complete copy of the ordinance is published elsewhere in this news¬ paper.
The board then recognized Mr. L, R. Woodlman from the engineer¬ ing fli m of Baxter and Woodman. Mr. Wodman reported to the board on work his firm has done on the new water tower to be constructed in Huntley. Mr. Woodman stated that tiiere were two places that the village was considering putting the lowor. One at the north end of town near the Algonquin Rd., the second in place of the present water tower. Mr. Woodman said tbat the ground being considered north of town is approximately 20 feet high¬ er than tliat ol the present water (owcr and that the ground af fhe school is approximately 10 feet higher than the present water tow¬ er. He continued that by establish¬ ing a water tower north of town would gain 20 fcct ahead, simply be¬ cause the ground is higher. Mr. Woodman said that the land north of town IS approximately 910 feet above sea level. At the present wat¬ er tower, it is about 890, and over at the school, it is approximately 900 feet above sea level.
If the village were to construct the tower at the north site, they could connect into the six-inch water main which runs down the entire length of Church Street. The tow¬ er at the north end wouid also greatly increase water pressure which is low at the north end of town. Mr. Woodman stated that the well did not have to be placed next to the tower, that it could be put any place in town and connected to one of the lines which would feed the tower slowly. It seemed to be the general consensus of the board to place the well and pump on the location north of town. However, no definite decision was made.
Mr. Woodman said that if the new tank is constructed at the north
