The binding of the sheets has been so selected that any sheets may be removed or replaced without damage to any others. Gentlemen, permit me to say that no town can boast of an Atlas more accurate in data or better in physical appearance than the one now is your hands. I am submitting herewith a statement of the account in this matter; Original offer as of April 7th, 1930 $2,950.00 ' Paid on account, June 6th, 1931 700.00 Balance due this date - 2,250.00 429 I will appreciate any effort that you may make to provide early payment of this balance.

Friedrich City Clerk Des Plaines, Illinois. July 30, 1931. Deur Sir: We enclose herewith a transcript of our account with the City of Des Plaines from June 15, 1927 at which time the account was balanced, showing the amount of $80.00 still due us. As we have no memo of the numbers of your vot.chers, it will be impossible to show to which your various remittances apply. We have no doubt that, upon checkingupj the statement, you will *be able to determine where the items apply. We render our bills on the first of each month, and if you will see that a vounher is issued and a check sent us Immediately, it would avoid the account falling into the state in which i now is in. If this cannot be done, we are afraid that we shall be obliged to insist on the payment of the filing fee when new cases are filed and for certified copies when delivered. Yours respectfully Robert M. Sweitzer • Clerk, County'kdourt.
