One has died of Dutch Elm disease and the other may be showing symptoms of the same disease. The property owner wishes to remove these two trees and replant the entire treelawn with a uni- form type of maple. Parks Department has approved and has furnished a list of acceptable maples. Commission discussed the matter and decided to have the existing trees checked by Dave Barncort, Land- scape Architect, before proceeding, to make sure they really are dead. Mrs. Dixon agreed to notify the property owners not to proceed with their plans until after the check. c) 1224 E. Jefferson --EW.

Permission has been granted. 2. Budget and Finance --Computer Quotes Mrs. Dixon has no positive action to report but has made progress in deciding on a new computer for the commission.

Mrs. Dixon will furnish a list of price quotes for the next meeting. 3.
