HOUSE NUMBERS ON SOUTH LAUREL AVENUE: The Clerk then read the following letter: 1 36i �q- 612 S.Laurel Ave. Des Plaines , I11. January 27 1936 To the City Council. . Des Plaines,Illinois A few years ago, at my request, a portion of the street on which 1 live, was given the name of South Laurel Avenue. I wish to thank the Council for granting my request. I find that strangers in this locality often get confused by the street signs or lack of diem. The names of the streets in this subdivision are stamped in the cement walks. That will have to stand, but two signs would help very much, reading South Laurel Avenue. Another thing that confuses people is the fact that the house next to me, facing Laurel is designated as 1252 Prairie Avenue. The owner, Theodore Martin, now in St. Benito, Texas, probably is not interested. 1 would suggest that the house number be changed at the expense of the city and the proper street name be printed in the next telephone directory. thanking you Yours truly, Hester A.Bennett Mayor Kinder referred this letter 'to the Streets and Sidewalks Committee for study and report.

The other was a case of taking illuminating gas, at which time we were called by one of our local doctors, and we believe we did much to bring him back to existance. There were no fatal results from fires, no firemen injured while on duty, and only one boy burned while using matches to siffon gasoline from a car. he is again, to our knowledge, in perfect health. We surely miss the efficient work �f Fireman Walter Lagerhausen, at our fire. Both of his legs were broken while working at his private occupation, but he is well on the way to recovery.
