Syd Jamieson reflects on childhood dreams from railroads to ball playing and early work in a tough era. He notes poverty, NYA jobs, scholarships, and discipline changes in schools, urging attention to how tax money funds education and how generation gaps affect youth.

Village engineer Ralph F. Gross proposed a new storm sewer draining into the eastern lake to relieve chronic flooding in Pleas ant and Prairie avenues. The $6,000 project would use motor fuel tax funds, drawing mixed opinions on financing before next board presentation.

Clyde Wilbur Plumbing Co bid 18500 for laying new water lines, with the Lincoln Street addition raising the estimate from 14500 to 17500. Work to begin once funds deficit from Turner Park improvements is resolved.
