the damage at the school caused by boys throwing stones at

grass
fire that was
set on the
school grounds,
apprehending
a girl
driving a car
without a
license, and the
violation of the fumigation ordinance at 104 Northway Road. In
connection with the latter, the Clerk was instructed to notify
Mr. Hagin, the exterminator, of the violation and send him a
copy of the ordinance.
6. Mr. Crandall reported that Officer VanZile was becoming
dissatisfied with his position and was talking of resigning. A
long discussion then followed regarding the'reasons for Officer
VanZile's dissatisfaction with his work, and a review-of the many
cases of delinquency among the children in and around the Heights
resulting in the destruction of property, with particular
reference to the stoning of the windows in the schoolhouse. Due
' to the concern over the breaking of the windows at the school,
IT WAS VOTED to request the Mayor to arrange for a meeting
between representatives of'the Village Board, representatives of
the School Board, and representative parents to discuss a.
solution of the problem.
7. The Trustees felt that if some concrete action could
be taken to support Officer VanZile in contending with the
delinquency problem on the Heights he would be more apt to retain
his position.
IT WAS VOTED that Officer VanZile be granted a month's
vacation with pay, namely 075.
8. IT WAS VOTED that the next meeting be held at 7 P.M. on
Tuesday, October 17th, at Trustee Shirey's office.
