REQUEST TO PERMIT DRY CLEANING PLANT: The Clerk then read the following letter: MCDERMOTT MCGUIGGAN AND STANTON December 14 1936 iayor and City Council of the City of Des Plaines % City Clerk Des Plaines, Illinois Honorable and Dear Sirs: I have a client who has negotiated for the purchase of the property located at the Northeast corner of Lee and Oakwood S reets in your city. This property vas formerly occupied t)y the Bowman Milk Company. Our understanding is that this section of your city is zoned under the classification of commercial district, and upon reading your revised ordinances of the City of Des Plaines, we have discovered under Section 4 of the ordinance on zoning that no building or premises shall be used for dyeing and cleaning works and for laundries which employ more than five persons. Insofar as my client, if he purchases this property, will employ approximately twenty-five or more persons, it will be a mistake for us to purchase it unless we can su- cessfully induce you to amend the ordinance or to rezone this district. 1 305 My client will also purchase a home next to the p;ant in which he will love. He will employ most, if not all of his employees, from the residents of Des Plaines. Insofar as the devices now used in this business are so vastly improved, there is no more danger with a plant employing twenty-five or more persons, than there is with one employing five. There is nothing noxious from fumes or odors to permeate the immediate vicinity, and also as this plant is already built and a nice appearing structure, I. can see no practical reason wny your Honorable body should nat grant our request. Ilay understanding of the law is that you have the right and authority to amend your ordinance or rezone as you so desire. respectfully request that you grant my client and myself permission to appear before your body at your meeting on December 21 as it is necessary that we purchase the property, we do so in the very near future. Assuring you that your granting us this courtesy will be mutually beneficial to your city and my client, 1 am Sincerely yours, W.E.McDERMOTT and then also read the following petition for an amendment to the Zoning Ordinance: To the Zoning Board of Appeals Des Plaines,Illinois We, the undersigned owners of the premises described as follows: Lot 15 Block 3 River Addition to Des Plaines respectfully request your Honorable body to modify Section 4 of the Zoning Ordinance of the City of Des Plaines, related to Commercial District, particularly sub -paragraph 6 thereof to read: "Dyeing and cleaning works (employing more than 25 persons)" instead of "Dyeing and Cleaning Works (employing more than 5 persons." and sub -paragraph 8 thereof to read "Laundry (employing more than 25 persons instead of "Laundry (employing more than 5 persons ".

The Mayor there- upon declared the motion carried. PEDDLER'S LICENSE RATE: The Clerk then read the following letter: Hathaway Baking Company Illinois Branch Waukegan Road Morton Grove,Illinois City Clerk Des Piaines,I11. Dear Sir: 1 am taking the liberty of writing to you regarding your bakery distributors license. There are certain features of the license which we feel are actively discriminatory to our business. With your permittion i would like to call to your attention the similarity of the methods of distribution and business of the modern baker and the modern milk companies. Both of them have established routes, Both of them have gone to quite an expense to establish these routes. both of them furnish the drivers on these routes with a route book containing a list of the customers upon which the driver is required to call daily. Both of their customers, I.e. the milk man's and the bakers, have standing orders for certain items, but both of them 307 also occasionally want extra items. From the milk man they may require extra cream, milk, butter milk, butter, eggs, chees etc. From the baker they may require an extra loaf of bread, extra rolls, cake, or pie. Both the milk man and the baker carry some extra items_ to suy the extra wants of their customers. Bath of them, in case they have misjudged the amount of extra goods that their customers would require will, when they see that they have too much goods on their trucks, en- deavor to dispose of this extra amount of goods through the solicitation of new customers. Both the milk man and the baker are carrying food items which are perishable. Both of them are subject to the inppect- ion of the state and local boards of health, and to the rules of such boards of health regarding the sanitary manufacture and handling of their products. Both are subject to the same heavy penalties for violation of these rules and regulations. Yet the city of Des Plaines makes a charge of only pb.OQ per year to the milk distributor, and a charge of 47b.OQ per year to the baker. Hathaway Bakeries Inc. is not a fly by night concern with nothing back of them. 3t is, on the otherkand, a reputable business house, doing business in many cities from here to New England. it is licensed to do business in the State of Illinois and pays without any objection all fair licenses imposed by the various towns and villages in Illinois in which it has the pleasure of operating one of its trucks. Hathaway Bakeries, Inc. enjoy a nice business in your fair city. We want to continue doing business there. We are willing to pay any reasonable license to your city. How- ever, ow-ever, we feel, and we are sure that you are fair minded enough to agree with us, that a license of *75.00 per year per truck is exorbitant and confiscatory, as well as being extremely un- fair. We feel, and are sure that you are fair minded enough to agree with us, that we should not be required to furnish any higher license than the milk distributors are required to PAY - We do not use your streets any more than the milk trucks use them. We put your Board of Health to no more expense in the way of regulation and inspection than the milk trucks put them to. The only fundemental difference between our business and that of the milk distributor is that the milk distributor sells both wholesale and retail, while Hathaway Bakeries Inc. sells only retail, or house to house. By selling his product to the store and then going next door and selling- to the private home the milk distributor enters into direct competetion with the local merchant, whereas Hathaway Bakeries Inc. does not enter into competition with the local merchants because we do not sell to them. When a housewife buys our baked goods she does so on account of her discriminating taste, because she likes the quality of our goods and our courteous service. We use only the very best of ingredients in all our baked goods, the finest flours, the freshest of eggs, the purest of butter, the best brands of shortening, yeast, spices, sugar, salt, milk etc. Every item which our salesmen sell is given to the salesman wrapped or packaged in such manner that it is unnecessary for him to at any time handle the same. This gives the item to the housewife fresh, clean and sanitary. The majority of the cities and villages of Illinois in which we have the pleasure of operating our routes have agreed with us that the license fee as regards the bakery and milk distributors should be the same and have altered their license laws to this effect. I feel sure that if you will bring this letter t the attention of the Mayor and the board of aldermen that they will after reading it agree with us that your present license is discriminatory and will grant us a reduction of the yearly fee which we have in the past paid. Trusting that I will receive a favorable reply from you on this matter, I am, Very truly youra, JOHN H.EDVARDS Sales Mgr. for Illinois The motion was made by Alderman Campagna and seconded by Pflug- haupt to refer this letter to the Police and License Committee for study and report. The motion vas voted upon by acclamation whereupon the Mayor declared the motion carried. After some little time Alderman Fulle, chairman of the Palice and License Committee submitted -the following report Which was read by the Clerk: RE: Hathaway Bakery Pertaining to 4175.00 yearly license Fee The committee on Police and License hereby recom- mends to the City Council of the City of Des Plaines that due to the fact that the above company is an out-of-town establishment and therefore for the protection of our local bakeries the $75.00 yearly license fee not be changed. FRED A. YULE, Chairman E.A.FREDERICK C.L.Bishop The motion was made by Alderman Pflughaupt and seconded by Fulle to concur in this report. The motion was voted upon by acclamation whereupon the Mayor declared the motion carried and the report concurred in.
