Other Highway Forty stuff:
-

be redesigned as part of the long range improvement of the
highway from Tower Grove out into the county. NSO Brian Wilson

input to Brian at the meeting.

Crime news:
-
In October the police raided the "junk yard" on the
4500 block of Manchester, recovering trailer loads of stolen
property. Early in November, three drug arrests were made in the
4500 block of Wichita as a SCAT team was active in the
neighborhood. Thefts have been a problem lately at the
construction and rehab sites in the neighborhood. Do yourself
and the neighborhood by a service by calling 911 right away
whenever you see something out of line. You can call and still
"keep out of it" by telling the operator you do not want the
police to come to the house or even telephone you. But the
police need information before they know where they are needed.
