(Staff Photos) The committees also suggested that proposed traffic signals in the village be financed with motor fuel tax funds.

IN HIS report, Coney noted that a total of 46,328 square feet of floor space is included in the a averaging $24.05 per square foot. Of this, the meeting hall is expected to cost $33.05 per square foot; the fire station, $25.62 per square foot; and the administration building, which includes the police department, $18.54 per square foot. The committee recommendation follows several years of planning on the matter, which has been most active recently as details were completed and added up to the figures presented to the village board. Thinking of the group was that a municipal headquarters should be built on the basis of expected needs of the village at maximum population, estimated at 58,000. THE COMMITTEE requested that each village board member study the items presented and be prepared to discuss financial matters relating to the proposal Tuesday at 7 p.m.

The addition of $35,000 worth of communications gear which includes modern police equipment, would raise the cost of the municipal complex to nearly $1,260,000. The additional sum is expected to be added to the total bond issue figure, boosting that to $1,685,000. Details as to the cost of the issue to residents was not discussed at Tuesday's meeting. Members Appointed To Five Boards Appointments to five Elk acting on recommendations by Grove Village groups were approved by the village board Tuesday night, the board was We'ue Gone to the Dogs--and Cats, and It may be the doggondest thing yet to puzzle Buffalo Grove. Village Pres.

Donald Thompson wants to know how the village can record 184 animal complaints this year when there are only 164 registered animals in the community. Thompson may not set up a committee to investigate, but he is concerned that "people will think Buffalo Grove is some kind of a wild animal preserve." For a Mantelpiece Ornament? Some patriotic bird lover stole the American Eagle off the dome of the new building of the Itasca State Bank Wednesday morning. Itasca police can't figure how the thief got up there. The dome is raised off the roof about eight feet, and the roof is more than 30 feet from the ground. The new bank building isn't yet occupied.

Would You Believe Zorro? A masked man in a black cape and a checked coat was reportedly seen in the area around 4730 Arbor Dr. early this week. Rolling Meadows police, answering a call, watched the area closely and questioned both adults and youngsters. No adult-, reported seeing the masked man, but questions aime dat children brought a variety of stories concerning the incident. The inquiry led Officer Richard Pletz to believe that Rolling Meadows' "caped crusader" was a figment of some young imaginations.

Keep Them In Mind Four important dates are coming up for voters in the next several weeks. Friday, Oct. 25 is the last day to apply by mail for absentee ballots. Thursday, Oct. 31 is the last day to file absentee application with the County Clerk.

Saturday, Nov. 2 is the last day to vote in person at the County Clerk's office and Tuesday, Nov. 5 is election day, with polls to be open from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. Road Projects Study Set A priority program of road improvements in the Northwest suburbs is to be carved out for use as a club over state and county highway departments.

The Northwest Municipal Conference will develop and support the program, at the suggestion of Arlington Heights Village Pres. John Woods. Stressing the potential power of a unified position on highway improvements', Woods recommended particular study of the expressway paralleling Rand Road and a priority improvement list of other major thoroughfares. WOODS SERVED Wednesday as conference chairman in the absence of Village Pres. Ted Scanlon of Wheeling.

Members agreed to set up a committee to establish the "need" list and recommend it as a conference policy position. Elk Grove Village Pres. Jack Pahl further suggested that the conference examine a proposal of the Illinois Toll Highway Commission to extend the toll- way system throughout the state. As pointed out by. the Illinois Highway Study Commission, the urban area would be subsidizing the cost of this, he warned.

If the proposal by Donald R. Bonniwell, Commission chair- man, passes court scrutiny, the adopted legislation will need only the governor's signature, Pahl said, adding that the conference may want to pass its position on to the governor. THE EXPRESSWAY affects a large number of communities and if there is any conflict among these, it should be resolved at a conference level, Woods said. According to early plans of the Illinois Division of Highways, the expressway will go in a two-mile corridor on either side of Rand. Woods listed Algonquin, Higgins and Arlington Heights roads as needing support for improvements.

He said Busse Road and Wilke Road exten- ions also should be considered. The old maxim "together we stand, divided we fall" has not been true in the past as each municipality fought over the limited highway funds. Woods a Pahl exchanged jokes Wednesday over their current battle of Algonquin-versus-Higgins widening. REPORTING ON Monday's session of the Illinois Municipal League, Pahl said the Illinois Highway Study Commission will recommend that the state legislature adopt a report redesig- nating the way motor fuel tax funds are distributed. The commission hopes to introduce in January the legislation that will implement the 1966 Wilbur Smith and Associates' "functional" road system, Pahl said.

In addition, the commission will be recommending a $1 billion bond issue for road improvements to the state legislature. Of this, 75 to 80 per cent of funds will be parceled back to local governments to do their own street upgrading, Pahl (Continued on Page 4) New Cut In to DuPage Elk Grove Village may cut deeper into DuPage County if the village board accepts a proposed 208-acre industrial development between Devon Avenue and Thorndale Road, west of Rt. 83. A proposed pre-annexation agreement was presented to the village trustees after the regular board meeting Tuesday night. Planned by Robert Allabastro, affiliated with the Winthrop- a Financial Washington, D.

the development of what is now farm land to "high level" industry represents potential growth of the village south of the county line at Devon Avenue. Elk Grove Village now crosses the county line to a lesser degree at Devon Avenue east of Rt. 83. ALLABASTRO said he was seeking annexation and subsequent rezoning to light industrial use because of Elk Grove Village plans in that area, and because he is seeking water for his development. However, Village Atty.

Edward Hofert questioned Alla- bastro closely and at some length about the developer's experience and financial backing the development will have. Hofert drew no conclusions to the board about the questions. Trustee Richard McGrenera raised questions about sewage treatment in the area, pointing out current deficiencies and i that the village might construct one or two large plants to be paid for by the industrial users. ALLABASXRO is proposing a plant to service his development, but said that he would We willing to enter into a joint venture with other proposed industry in the area. Discussion on the proposal closed with a request by the village to see a financial statement of the development group, as well as proposed engineering regarding sewage treatment.

Necessary will be the drafting of a pre-annexation agreement, public hearing on annexation and a public hearing on the rezoning requested. Hofert said this process would require 30 to 45 days to complete. village Pres. Jack Pahl. Named to the Community Services Board were the Rev.
