Arlington heights, Illinois
Rot Resolution Arlington Park Track
Gentlement
In compliance with your request of November 19, 19K'7 relative to
the presentation of the Resolution of the Hoard of Trustees of the Village
of Arlington Heights In gj.oeition to the extension of the track., dates at
Arlington Park, a copy of t-wI attached Resolution was filed before the Illino•_'i
Racin# Board on Thursday, 1�cvember 21, 1957. This was then F.laced on the,
agenda of the I11inoia Racing Board for its meeting of 1-11onday, November 25,1
that being the same date a9 the hearings cr, the extension of the track dates.
On F'rtda;,, November 22, 1911^, I received a telept.one call from
1-;r. Ben Lindheimer of Arlington Fark, tndicat 'ng t!.at he would like to confer
with the respective Village Yresi;�ents and t:-6 r attorneys relative tc o.ir
protest and a i ossibility of vorkinF o,it an aiaicable arrangement in the event
the Board saw fit to extend the track time. I agreed that this would have the
effect of airing out our mutual problems and acceded to the suggestion, and
notified our Village President, who in turn got in touch with the Village of
Mount Prospect, advising them of the contemplated meeting, and I in turn got
in touch with Mr, John Doyle, City Attorney for Rolling Meadows, receiving a
favorable response from him. Tt,ereupen, 1 confirmed with Hr, Undheimer the
willingness of the three Villages tc discuss this matter with him tnei nest day,
Saturday morning, which was 3one.
Iete Friday night Xr. Doyle advised me that he would not he stile t,o
be present at the meeting due to a Lunting engagement which he had previously
comitted himael-f upon, but tt,at Mavor Northcote, who might or might not be
present, would at least arrange to nave a representative of the City there.
Kr#-Theodore Lama of Mount Prospert appeared at the meeting, and, while their
attorney could not be present, Trustee Miller ra.-e in hia place. .1pon atterV±i:;
to verify the presence of a rep.Mesentative of Roiling Meadows, a call to
Mr, Northcote'a hnne indicated that he could not be present at the last minute
and felt that inasmuch as he could not be present r.or Mr. Doyle, he did r,ot
wish to have anyone also represent the City.

respect be indicated that vhatsver additional personnel and expense w+o^il.d
be ebsrgeable to the increase of the now of traf fie due to the tracks they wire
ullll to take ears of its and if tho,basden became too�e� ike would

M diNass this matt" again. In additico, there w s
IWroaoon t in the aria wi th re spe Zn c t to roadways and the s that ai�t
possibly be relieved when the toll road& came through. light of the prises
and the statements by 14r.6 Weatherford in support of hlr. Lindh imer s agreements
it nos felt by both Mount Prospect and Arlington heights that it would be to
our best advantage to elicit the co-operation of the track and to abide by the
verbal agreement to do so.
At the hearing on Monday earning bOw the Racing Board the Redolut i cn
which I had previously sent to the Board was admitted into the record of the
hearing. At a request as to whetter we wished to withdraw this Resolution I
indicated to the Board that we did not, and that the Resolution represented the
decision of the Board of Trustees acting on behalf of the people of Arlington
Heigbiss and that my only other statement would be that the Board should consider
in light of the agreement made to us by the Arlington Park Track that they would
oo-operste in bandli the mutual problems. . We therefore would expect them to
do so and wish the Board to males that a part of the record also.
In view at the fact that the experience of this present yew will be
evidonoe as to whether or not this will work in the interests of the people of
Arlington Beightos it might be men to remember that this Board can submit another
Resolution at aq time to the Racing Boards indicating that the praaises made tc
this Village have hot been ccmplied with and that it should be considered next
year when application is made for renewal of these racing dates. In view of the
fact that the Resolution and my statements to the Board are a part of the record
and transcript at these proosedings, they can be referred to at my subsequent tim<
Should there be WW amplification necessary on the remarks that I have m6
I would be very happy to do so to this Board at any tics*
Very truly yours,
