The Clerk then read the following letter:
WEST BIDE IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATION OF DES PLAI LS
February 3, 1.34
280
Mayor & City Council
City of Des Plaines,I11.
Gentlemen:
I am requested to bring to your attention
the condition that exists at the corner of Prairie
and Second Avenue. This is a busy and dangerous
intersection and most of the children attending the
West Side School use this crossing. Some time ago
we had a "No Parking" sign placed on the South side
of Prairie Avenue from Second, east about 20C feet.
This allowed only one line of cars and so reduced
the hazard. This sign however, has been taken away
and though the fact has been brought to the attention
of the Street Committee no action has been taken.
The condition is now aggravated by the
fact that the building on the Korth side of Prairie
Avenue is a "Tavern" and therefore numerous cars
are parked there. A somewhat similar condition
exists at First & Prairie the business section of
the' 'est Side, where cars park over the side walks
and into the street leaving often only a narrow
single lane for traffic.
We do not wish to cast any reflections
on any committee or upon the Police force, but
these conditions have existed for a considerable
length of time and have been brought to the atten-
tion of the Council and those whose business it is
to remedy this dangerous situation. Hoping this
matter will receive your prompt attention, 1 remain
Yours sincerely
J.11.127. IS

and Fire Departments are promoting a joint benefit on
February 22, 1e34 at the Des Plaines Theatre for the purpose
