The Sunswfck Corporation, holder of the larger part of the Arlington Heights big sewer bonds, is asking the municipality to start foreclosure proceedings against alt lots, farms and improved property that are, delinquent. Several conferences have been held with the village board.

Monday night Mr. Sullivan, of Mnrkham, Donavan and Sullivan, appeared before the board, presenting ordinances which if passed by the board would be the first step in the proceedings that would bring to a decision the statusi of the outstanding sewer bonds. The members of the village board have not committed themselves as to what action they will take. The attorneys for the bond holders claim that the municipality as trustee of the bonds, has no other course than to ooqutese In the request made of them. Suggestions previously made were that particular lots be picked out for foreclose re, also that the proceedings cover all delinquent specials and genera! taxes.

Apparently the attorneys prefer to confine their interest proceedings to the sewer bonds, which. their client owns. At tfce present time there is a law suit pending against the village by the Suns- wick corporation ashing for judgment aggregating $60,040 for alleged irregular certificates issued against the assessment. Arlington Heights flatly denied the claim and has refused offers of a (compromise judgment A mass of testimony has been taken before a master of chancery in said suit.

I cannot stress too much to you how badly we need them for the carrvine of vital supplies. "Spare no effort to give ua the highest possible production," he urged the workers, "Again, I say to you, these C-54 transports will help us shorten the war." Commenting on Gen.

Arnold's speech, John Buck waiter, plant manager said, "Our is now building up at a rate which will require many additional employees.
