They have finished moving the large trees around Arbor Lake and will plant the shrubs around the lake this spring. They have started the landscaping around Arbordale, and the problems with the houses have been resolved. He will have Morton's secretary send him his slides as requested. They met with Northern Illinois Gas employees to finalize the position of the gas main, and it looks like they will follow the Arboretum's suggested route. The Route 53 project is ready for bids and should begin in the spring.
