Des Plaines, Ill. November 14, 1948 To the Mayor and City Council City of Des Plaines, Illinois Gentlemen: In reading the letter that accompanied the tickets for the policemen's ball, I was struck by the irony of the words, "Ye shall receive." Although it refers to more tickets, I couldn't help but think of the phrase from which it is taken, "Give and ye shall receive." .Every year we and hundreds of others give whether we go or not, It is a worthy cause and our duty to doso, besides we just want to give to our own policeman. But I feel this same department we so willingly give to is not doing its part of the bargain. Theyare letting us down. There are many neighbors who feel the same way. Why? Ever since last summer we have been plagued with a prowler. At first an effort was made to oateh him, but now the matter seems to be forgotten, and it seems that people who complain have hallucinations. However, where there is smoke, there is fire. The last time it was repotted, a squad car came out hours later. Why bother then? He could have been out of the state. Those of us with young daughters are particularly disturbed. I for one have stayed -home Saturday nights for fear of leaving the children, even though we,have a good watch dog. - • Very.sincerely, (Signed) MRS., L. EASTHAM (Signed by twenty-two,others.) The motion was made by Alderman McKay and seconded by Hansen to refer the letter to the Public Protection Committee. .The motion was voted upon by acclamation whereupon the Mayor declared the motion carried. PETITION ABOUT HUNTING ON C. & N. W. RWY. PROPERTY. The Clerk read the following petition signed by 61 residents of Cumberland Terraces - To Magor & City Council, Des Plaines, I11. ,The Northwestern Railroad property south of Washington Streets, and east -of Wolf and, Woodbridge Roads, which has been leased as ,farm land is again being used by hundiers this year., This property is owned by the railroad, and is considered county property, although it is within the city limits. The danger to the children who, live along these str.:ets or other children who come here, can readily be appreci- ated. A shot toward these, streets besides damaging houses could very readily cripple or blind a child. The Northwestern Railroad has. been contacted as well as the -county police, and both are in sympathy with the situation. We the undersigned therefore are petitioning a request to the City of Des, Plaines, in which we live, that they contact. the Northwestern Railroad to take the, necessary steps in covering this area with "No Hunting" signs and request the Coupty police to patrol the area, during the hunting season to enforce this restriction. We request that immediate action be taken before a careless hunter has a maimed or blinded child on his conscience., This will not only reflect on the person but on the City of Des Plaines as well. The letter to the Railroad should also request this action take care of the situation in the following years. The Mayor instucted the City Clerk to write a letter to the C. & N, W. rwy. to request them to stop people 'from hunting on the railroad,'s property east and south ajoining Cumberland Terrace. Also to write the Cook County Police requesting them to patrol this property. REZONING APPLICATION - GOLF AND MOUNT PROSPECT R.
