Attorney M. S. Howard's report on cgntractors license. The Clerk read the following reports October 20, 1952 Honorable Mayor and City Council of the City of Des Plaines City Hall Des Plaines, Illinois Gentlemen: Some time ago I was asked to prepare a general licensing ordinance which would license all forms of building contractors and sub -contractors. At the following council meeting I advanced my opinion that such an ordinance would be invalid and void if challenged. It was then stated that it was the practice in many other municipalities to se license building contractors in such a manner and I was asked to check the practice in adjoining municipalities and recheck the lsw on this subject. I have discussed the matter both with the city attorney of Park Park Ridge, the Village Attorney of Mount Prospect and the attorneys of a number of other municipalities. It is perfectly true that both of our adjoining. neighbors,;; Mount Prospect and Park Ridge, require a license from all types of building contractors and sub -contractors. It is also true, however, that both the City Attorney of Park Ridge and the Village Attorney of Mount Prospect agree with me that sone of the licensing ordinances, if not all of them, would be invalid if challenged. A recheck on the law on my own part verifies my previous opinion that such ordinances would be substantially invalid if challenged. I shall, of course, be glad to prepare such an ordinance if specifically requested. It would seem to me, however, that the better practice would be to discuss with the neighboring municipalities an agreement to eliminate invalid licensing for mutual benefit, rather than to follow suit of the others and enact. ordinances which we believe in advance to be invalid. I shall await your further instructions in the matter. Yours very truly: Marshall S. Howardsd) MSH:rj City Attorney After discussion the item was tabled. Alderman Behrel reported regarding the vacating of an alley in block 12 cumberland and made the following recommendation: Your Municipal Development Committee recommends, by majority vote, that upon receipt of satisfactory evidence that lots 1 to 16 inclusive and lot 48 in block 12 in Cumberland subdivision have been acquired by the American Foundrymen's Society as a site for its modern office building and upon dedication to the City of Des Plaines to be used for alley purposes of a strip 20 feet wide along the southerly side of lot 48, that the City of Des Plaines vacate the alley extending southerly from State Street between lots 4 and 3-48. The dedication of the 20 foot strip of lot 48 above referred to will provide adequate turn -around space at the rear of lots 45, 46, and 47, will remove the irregularly-shaped alley- end at that location, and should off -set any objection which might arise because of the creation of a dead-end. 10/20/52 The motion was made by Alderman Behrel and seconded by Hansen to concur in the report.
