C & N W RAILROAD DRAINING INTO CITY SEVER: The Clerk then read the following letter: CHICAGO AND NORTH WESTERN RAILWAY COMPANY November 24,19;56 Kr. Edward J -.Friedrich City Clerk-Dity of Des Planes Des Plaines,Iliinois Dear Sir: Your letter of November PIth received con- cerning the drainage into North Avenue in the City of Des Plaines Sewer ystem by the Chicago and North Western Railway Company. Your letter was referred to our Mr.C.H.Perry, Division Engineer, for investigation, as 1 was anxious to get full particulars concerning this matter and the information I have received from kr.Perry indicates that you have probably been misinformed concerning the draining of the area west of our Valley Line into the City Sewer. The 6 -inch sewer which was constructed at the time the Coach yard facilities were constructed is used to drain only the cinder pit, the turntable pit and the washroom facilities. It is constructed with manholes every 200 or 300 feet and these are well above the ground surface so that the surface drainage cannot enter the sewer. Our survey indicates that all drainage water from the south side of our Des Plaines Valley Line is carried through Bridge 1o.843 under the line and thence in a northerly direction in an open ditch, passing through our Bridge No.22 A under the connecting track with the coach yard, and then flows in the open ditch northerly to Weller Creek. We do not wish to impose upon the citizens of Des Plaines in any unfair manner of taking care of our drainage and if you find that the information which 1 have obtained is not correct and that it is necessary to make provision for keeping any surface drainage from entering the sewer system, 1 shall be pleased to have our representative call upon you or your representative to work out a plan that will be satisfactory to you in this matter. cc Mr.P.G.Campbell Mr.C.X.Perry Yours very truly, C.T. DIKE -Vice Pres. & hief Engr 1 1 The motion was made by Alderman Lemke and seconded by MacLuckie to refer this matter to the Sewer Drainage and Sanitation Committee, and to instruct the Clerk to notify the C & N W Railroad to meet with Alderman Lemke, chairman of the said committee.
