The following letter was presented by Alderman Figard: Regarding the Engineering Fees for a complete report on a City of Des Plaines water connection to the City of Chicago, I feel that $500.00 should be alloted for this work. In the past, I have made no charge to the City for any of the numerous reports that I have prepared. However, in order to produce the type of,report which you should have, enough money should be paid to allow for the typing, printing and assembling of it; also to cover the expenses in connection with necessary investigations. Such a report would cover the most econimical route for the watermain from the City of Chicago to the City of Des Plaines; the size of the watermains and the location and size of all reservoirs and pumping stations; also easements that might be required for right-of-way. A check should be made with the City of Chicago to determine their requirements for such connection, and their informal approval, at least, of this connection. A projection should be made of the future needs of the City of Des Plaines based upon a projedted population growth. An estimate -of -cost should be prepared of Chicago water delivered thru our pumps and mains to the consumer and recommended rates that the City of Des Plaines would have to charge for such service. Meetings would be attended with the water committee as often as necessary to present intermittent reports of the progress of the investigation and to include in the report any other information which they may desire. Very truly yours, /s/ E. N. Fletcher/ The motion was made by Alderman Figard and seconded by Shillington to have Engineer Fletcher make the survey.
