A recent request was made of your honorable body by the

machinery which can be used for concrete breaking, back fill
tamping, digging frozen ground etc, the cost of which is to
be 1350.00 not including the working tools which can be
purchased at a very nominal cost.
This request was referred to a committee consisting of E.A.
Frederick, John Lemke and Marvin Wells who after making an
investigation have reported favorable on this machine and
the investment.
We therefore petition your honorable body for authority to
make out the necessary order to purchase said equipment for
the depart: ent.

The Clerk then read the following:
Honorable George p`.Kinder-Mayor
Des Plaines,Illinois
Dear Mayor Kinder:
The resolution submitted to your council. by the State
Highway. Department suggesting certain "speed zones"
on State Routes through Des Plaines, has been investi-
gated by a: committee of the council thn March 22,1936,
and the following speeds were considered to be safe
speeds within the City limits:
From To MPH
1.Northwest Highway US12 C & MUM Subway Western Ave 25
2. " " Western Ave Dempster :;t 25
3.. " "(Busse) Demoster St East limits 30

5.Algonquin Rd " " Mannheim Rd River Rd 25
6. " " River Rd E.limits 25
7.Oakton Street Mannheim Rd River Rd 30
8.Mannheim Road U.S.45 Touhy Ave. Oakton St 30
9. " " Oakton St Keeney Ave 30
10. " " Keeney Ave Perry St 25
11. '* " Perry St River Rd 30
12.River Road Touhy Ave. Oakton St 35
13. " " Oakton St Keeney Ave 30
14. " " Keeney Ave Rand Rd 30
15.Miner St(Dempster St) Busse Highway Rand Rd 25
1.The speed of 35 miles per hour suggested is excessive
for the condition of the highway at this point because
of the hazard (1) the "S" curve, and (2) the supports
for the viaduct in the center of the Highway, and road
narrored through the viaduct, we believe a 25 mile- per
hour rate a safer speed
3.Section #15.
Permitting a speed of 45 miles per hour in the 715
section encourage speeding and more or less reckless
driving for the high school &udents as well as considering
the fact that Rand Park will be opened this summer, we
believe a speed of not over 30 miles per hour should be
rigidly enforced.
4.This section is still in the residentialsection and we
feel no speeding should be encouraged in any residential
part of this city.
6.It would seem that a 25 mile per hour limit should be
carried out to the egst limits, because of the added
pedestrian as well as motor vehicle traffic during summer
months to and from the swimming pool, and the Methodist
Camp Grounds.
8.With an "S" curve a speed of 45 miles per hour is
dangerous from a safety standpoint;we feel a limit
of 30 miles per hour would be more practical.
10.We believe the speed of 25 miles per hour should be
continued to Perry Street.
12.Forty-five miles per hour in our opinion is excessive
and will encourage faster driving; continuing north
35 miles should be a safe speed in this section.
13.Same as #12 except speed should be reduced to 30 miles
per hour. Respectfully submitted
DES PLAINES SAFETY COUNCIL
A.C.Kadlec-President.

The motion was made by Alderman Frederick and seconded by
Ahbe to amend the orignal resolution submitted by the
State Highway Department so as to conform with the recom-
mendations contained in the foregoing letter from the
Des Plaines Safety Council. The motion was then made
by Llderman MacLuckie and seconded by Lemke to amend this
amendment so as to set the maximum speed on all streets
in the City of Des Plaines at 25 miles per hour. The amend-
ment setting a maximum speed of 25 miles per hour on all
streets was voted upon by acclamation whereupon the I;«yor
declared this amendment lost. The main motion to amend the
original resolution to conform with the recommendations of
the Des Plaines Safety Council was then voted upon by acclamation,
whereupon the Mayor declared the motion carried and the original
resolution so amended. The motion was then made by Alderman
Frederick and seconded by Carroll to adopt the resolution
submitted by the State Highway Department as amended and

LEE AND THACIER UNDERPASS :
The Clerk' then read the

Ayril 6 1936
To the Mayor and City Council of Des Plaines,
Des Plaines,Iliinois
Gentlemen:
In Accordance with your instructions I have made a
survey of the conditions at the intersection of Thacker Street
and Lee Street and have considered the recommendations of the
Safety Council of this City and submit herewith an estimate of
the cost of constructing a Pedestrian Subway from the lvorth west
and South West corners of this intersection to the South East
corner thereof.
I also submit a sketch shoving the construction which
is proposed to comply with your recommendations. On thissketch
the existing conditions are shown in black, considering the Lee
Street widening as an accepted fact, and have shown new work in
red and existing structures to be abandoned in red cross -hatching.
The Subway to be constructed rill run North and South
on the West side of Lee Street with stairways leading both
North and South on Lee Street and West on both sides of Thacker
Street and a subway leading East on the South side of Thacker
street. It will be necessary to re-route the Thacker Street
sewer taking it around to the South side of the intersection
and bring it back on the East side of Lee street and also to
cut in the private sewer on the West side of Lee street and
the main. sewer on the center line of Lee street into the Thacker
street sewer on the East line of Lee Street. It will also
be necessary to re -connect the existing catch basins on
the west side of Lee Street into the manhole in the center
of the intersection. It will be necessary to secure two
small parcels on the corners and to secure an easement from
the School Board as shown on the sketch. Some new sidewalk
must be constructed.
It will also be necessary to install two valves
in the existing water mains and to laver all the water mains
within the intersection so that they may pass below the
subway.
The Subway as contemplated will be seven feet by
nine feet and properly lighted and wall be constructed of
re -enforced concrete with the inside finished. Stairways
rillbe provided with hand rails and guard rails.
I estimate the cost as follows: considering that
all this work must be hand. work as it is confined to such
close quarters that very little machine work can be done.

About 25% of the Pedestrian Traffic uses the subway
across North Avenue in Elmhurst, Illinois and about
12% of the Pedestrian Traffic uses the subway across
Michigan Avenue on Randolph Street in Chicago,Illinois.
So that if full use is to be obtained it will be nec-
essary for the Police to enforce its use.
