Oliphant gave the report on the Planning & Zoning minute~. 153rd Avenue Improvement Project; Mr. Steffen feels the issue ~f the' alignment on this road should be referred to legal council. Mrs. Jean James: Cemetary just north of Highway lO is very much overgrown. She put in stakes to mark the stones so if the brush cutter comes in, he would know where the gravestones are located. Mr. Greenberg has asked for permission to cut the tallest trees in the cemetary because they are a hazard for planes landing at the adjacent airport. The roots of the trees have come up through the graves. She thinks if the cemetar¥~.is cleaned out a little that there would be less vandalism. The Historical Society has no objection to cutting the tallest trees. She would like approval or disapproval to cutting these trees. She was asked how many trees they wanted to cut. Mrs. James said there would still be a lot of trees left. In taking the trees out, they would remove the entire tree. This cemetary was deeded to the Township in 1905.
