Superintendent Batt informed the Council that the Illinois Department of Transportation was requesting reimbursement in the amount of $7,118 for materials and labor in replacing street light wiring at the intersection of Riverside Drive and Elm Street in con- nection with construction of the new bridge„ Evidently the old wiring had been disturbed during bridge construction and replaced by the bridge contractor.
