August Village Board Meeting
The August meeting of the Vill¬ age Board was held on August 3, with all members present.
Mr. Ray Schneider, owner of the Huntley Coin Wash, was present and inquired of the Board what rould be done to increase the wat¬ er pressure and ebninate ithe rust at his place of business. It was stated that by adding a pump to in¬ crease the pressure, the rust also increased. Durir^ the discussion it was also stated that the reason for the water failure in the village last week was that the pump fail¬ ed and the storage tank ran dry.
After a lengthy discussion the Village Board' authorized Mr. Sch¬ neider to put a 2-inch t^ on the main. It was mentioned that Union Special Machine Co. had a 2 inch meter. 2 inch meters run approx¬ imately $800 or $900.
Mr. Bein of the Board of Edu¬ cation was present and asked the Village Board how they were com¬ ing on the construction of the str¬ eet to run in front of the new sch¬ ool. It was stated by the Board that they had not purchased the land but a price had baan agreed upon of $1500. It was stated that the Street will nm to Sunset St. and iSiat the boenl is piAliahing an onHnanoe fortidding paiidng on tlie north «id« of MiiU St. between Lincoln a«« Si»B*et. One of the board methbera joking nnwrtsed :'we have a parldng ordinance on land which we do not have as yet."
Mayor Brill said that they had been considering making the new street  one-way.
Mr. Fessler said that he was not tring to pull strings and that the license had been issued to Pat and Tiny's, Inc., which, he said, was a registered corporation in Spring¬ field.
At thds point in the meeting the Mayor stated that if the board had known what they now knew, they would never have issued him a Mcense. The Mayor then gave Mr. Fessler a 30 day extension while the village sou^rt legal ad- \ic€ from ttieir attorney who was out of town at the time of the meeting. The Mayor added that if the board had known what they knew now tha he never would have been issued a license.
It was mentioned by Mr. Bein that the school has already paid $100.00 for ttie appraisal of the land on which the street will run.
Mayor Brill remarked that it would probably help the school in¬ surance rate if the water line oould loop from Unooln to Sunset on Mill Street. He went on to say No survey or plan had been made for Mill Street from Route 47 to Lincoln. "Rie land will have to be didicated to tl» village by the sch¬ ool and the park bo£ffd before this can be done,  the Mayor said.
When otiestioned by Mr. Bein on how much the school should ex¬ pect to pay for the purrfiase of the land, Trustee Don Enstrwn said that the school should pay all of the $1500. It was mentioned that the cost of constructing the street on the furnished land will be $12,000. which will be borne by the village. It was reported that for the opening of school onAug- ust 28, this road will probably be graded and graveled.

ReunionHete
Huntley National Association was ftrst suggested in print in the first issue of We, who are HUNT- LEYS'", which survived for two issues in 1945. This was a 32-page magazine "dedicated' to the inter¬ ests of the Huntley family in Amer¬ ica" which left the publisher, Roy¬ ce E. Huntley, with a small mailing list. From the mailing list of peo¬ ple of that name or those deacen- . aiif Irom the family who would be qualified to belong to a Huntley !• amily Association, Royce E. Huntr ley, Phoenix. New York, was able to call a meeting of those inter¬ ested and founded the Huntley Nat¬ ional Association. TTiis meeting which was attended by 13 quedlA- ed potentials, was held at C^t)Cker House, New London^ Oonnectiout, January 26, 1947, to determine the feasibilily of hcMii^ a "NatiMial" reunion of the Huntley ftenily for three days, July 3, 4, and 5, 1947.
