Wille, Sea. • Mayor Hammerl stated that a committee has met and deliberated upon this matter, and that a definite recommendation, regarding this matter would be forth coming in the near future. The Clerk then read the following proposed resolution: RESOLUTION IXESIGNATING FIRST NATIONAL BANK DES PLAINES, ILLINOIS, DEPOSITORY FOR CITY TREASUMR. There was considerable discussion regarding this resolution after which the motion was made by Alderman Kinder and seconded by Lacey to refer the resolution to the Finance Committee with instructions to report at the next meeting of the Council. The roll was called on the motion vglth the following result: Ayee: Aldermen Ahbe, Collet, Pflughaupt, Dean, Huxmapn, Kinder, Lacey, Yriott, Enzenbacher and Meinshausen. Nays: None. The Mayor thereupon declared the motion carried. Committee: The Clerk then read the following report of the Pinance REPORT OF TIX FINANCE COMMITTEE. TO THE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL OP TIE ' CITY OF DES'-PLAINES: The Finance Committee of the City of Des Plailites, to whom was referred a resolution to increase the duties of City Clerk to include'the.eollection of special assessments and to furnish the City Clerk with additional help to perform the said duties, desires to report that it has met to discuss said matter and has consillted the City Clerk in reference thereto. Your committee has considered the question of the advisability of placing the responsibility of the collection of special assessments upon the City Clerk and the possibilities of the City Clerk discharging the said duties. Your Committee desires to report that the City Clerk of the City of Des Plaines was employed as a fulltime officer so that the Clerk would be at all times available to the City. Hall in Des Plaine*. Your Committee is of the opinion that this plan has worked to the best interests of the City and that it should be continued. ' Your Committee further finds that the time of the City Clerk is now entirely consumed in the handling of his present. duties and that he would not, without neglecting his present duties, be able to give any time to the Collecting of special assessments. 563 Tour Committee further reports that the collection of assessments by the City Collector for the last year has been lessened because of the many delinquencies to special assess- ments, but the work is increasing by reason thereof. The City Collector is not only required to keep a complete set of records and furnish the treasurer with a complete report of assessments collected, but is also required to copy all assessment rolls into his records and to make a delinquent return. Be is then required to check this delinquent return in the County Treasurer's office, and to check the records in the County Treasurer's office on all remittances made. This frequently requires the Collector to spend much time in this office of the County Treasurer in Chicago. These duties re- quire the services of someone who has technical experience of knowledge in legal descriptions. At certain periods of the year the work of the City Collector is lessened. Your Committee further reports that the City Clerk has been elected by the people of the City to perform certain duties not including the duties of City Collector. The appro- priation ordinance for the year 1932 does not provide an increase in the'salary to be paid a City Collector, nor does it provide for any additional assistants to the City Collector. The assisitant to the Collector is now being paid by the Collector. There is, therefore, no appropriation out of: -which any salary could be paid an assistant to the City Clerk to handle special assessment collections. Your Committee further reports that the duties of the City Treasurer and the duties of the City Collector in some respects involve a duplication of effort. The City Treasurer would to a large extent simplify his work if he had the super- vision of the work of the City Collector. In addition to this, the City Treasurer is not necessarily a full time employment and he would have time to make the necessary check of records in the County Treasurer's office. Your Committee is therefore of the opinion that the duties of City Collector and the duties of the Treasurer should be merged and that both of the officers be placed on a salary basis and that an assistant to the treasurer be employed to be known as a deputy treasurer who would assist in the doing of the work of the treasurer and the collection of assessments, and also assist the City Clerk. The provision as to qualifi- cation for both the office ofCity Trea,scurer and the Deputy Treasurer should require that both persons have experience in 564 municipal accounts, have experience with legal descriptions, and that they be able to check records of the County'Treasurerts office and the Recorder's office and otherwise .perform all of T the neoessary duties in -connection with that office. Your Committee is further of the opinion that when these two departments have been combined, the salary of the treasurer be reduced to a sum not to exceed $260.00 per month and that the salary of the deputy treasurer be fixed at a sum not to exceed $150.00 per month. Your committee further reports that such an arrangement would not only result in a substantial saving tea the City of Des Plaines, but would also result in a more efficient hand- ling of this uepartment. • Your Committee further reports that the term of the City Treasurer expires on April 30, 1933 and that his salary is fixed: at the sum of $3300.00 per year until that date, and the duties of the City Treasurer are also fixed by the terms of the ordinance under which he was elected and do not include the duties here proposed to be fixed on the treasurer. Con- sidering all of these conditions, it mutt was recommended by the Mayor of the City of Ides Plaines in his message to the City Council that a new arrangement commence atter April 30, 1933. Your Committee is of the opinion that in' view of all of the utters above set out, commencing May 1, 1933 i 8 the earliest date when this arrangement could be placed in force and that the recommendation of the Mayor should be accepted and that an ordinance should be prepared and submitted to the City Council providing that the Treasurer, after April 30, 1933, handle all of the said duties and that the Council employ a deputy treasurer to assist in the said work, and that the qualifications of the said officers or employees bei as in this recommendation set out. Tour Committee therefore recommends tha t the resolution heretofore introduced, providing for changing the duties of the City Collector, at this time be not passed. Tour Committee further recommends that it be authorized to further consider this matter for the purpose of bringing in a subsequent recommendation on the duties and qualifications of the treasurer and also as to whether or not the treasurer shsi be appointed or whether he should be elected.

To the Mayor and. City Council: Des Plaines, 111. Gentlemen: - Since the public installation of the Aldermen elect, at your meeting Monday May, second, many of my friends have informed me that one of your speakers, a Mr. Wicke, i suppose as a result of pure ignorance of what is appropriate upon such occasions, dragged my name into the exercises on a slanderous way. He is reported to have said that I had offered David Maloney something in the nature of a bribe to withdraw his efforts in 569 in connection with the confirmation of Special Assessment Warrant #100 in the County Court of Cook County. May I ask that my denial of any statement of this kind be given'the same publicity that Mr. Wicke's alleged statement received. Such a statement is absolutely, false. I can •say ' this slime thi rig with a much agli e r worS. Hever under any circumstances did I ever offer David Maloney $500.00 or any other amount to *Lay Off* of any law suit whatso- ever. The statement cannot possibly be true for two obvious reasons: pirst, I do not remember ever having had so much money at one time; and Second, If i ever had that much money,I certainly would never give it to David Maloney, I understand that Mr. Wicke challenged any one to debate the the topics which he mentioned at that time, in public, Will you convey to him my acceptance of the challenge. I expect him to name a: date for this discussion within a reasonable time, say 30 days. Once before he failed to appear under similar circumstances. If he fails this time I think the Citizens of Des Plaines will then be able reightly to call him the "greatess Mexican Athlete" of our community. Respectfully submitted, CHARLES S. STEWART.
