Your Committee on water has investigatedthe above and
has found: that is is unusual for the average tradesmen,
not regularly engaged in business, to have on hand as many
as twelve stop boxes of this type, for sale or for other
purposes.
And we have found that Mr. Kcelle did furnish the
materials for the GWA project Which he states he furnished
and that no bill has been rendered to the City of Des Plaines
for same.
We,your committee on Water therefore recommends
that Mr. Koelle be asked to submit to the City Clerk
his bill of sale for this material t stop boxes) to-
gether with a receipted bill for their sale to the
City of Des Plaines.
On delivery of same to our pumping station, the City
Clerk is instructed to give r. Koelle a receipted water
bill to the amount of $16.50.
. These stop boxes cost us about'42.00 each and it
seems.fair to comply with his request for the issuance
of a vehicle and dog tag to cover the difference.
