1967-05-24 - Resolution 1967-12 - Clean Stream Week May 21-27, 1967 RESOLUTION NO. R-67-12
WHEREAS, many of the streams, rivers, ponds, water courses
and lakes within the territorial limits of The Metropolitan Sani-
tary District of Greater Chicago are, from time to time, polluted
and obstructed by the careless acts of thoughtless persons who
dump castaway materials and other debris into said waters, often-
times resulting in a stoppage of the flow of water therein; and
WHEREAS, at the initiation of the Trustees of The Metropolitan
Sanitary District of Greater Chicago and of the Cook County Clean
Streams Committee, there has been proclaimed in previous years a
CLEAN STREAMS WEEK, to alert our fellow citizens of the importance
of eliminating the disgraceful practice of this continued pollution
of our waters; and
WHEREAS, the Board of Trustees of the Metropolitan Sanitary
District of Greater Chicago consider it most desirable and timely
that a week in 1967 be similarly proclaimed as CLEAN STREAM WEEK.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the President and Board of
Trustees of the Village of Buffalo Grove at its regular meeting
held on May 24, 1967 , that we do hereby designate the week of
May 21 - 27 , 1967, as CLEAN STREAMS WEEK.
