RICH, City Clerk MINUTES OF THE REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF DES PLAINES HELD IN THE COUN- CIL CHAMBERS DECEMBER 19, 1938, MONDAY, AT THE HOUR QF 8:00 P.M. CALL TO.ORDER: The meeting was called to order by Mayor Hobart M. Ahbe, presiding, with Aldermen Carroll, John- son, Pflughaupt, Henrich, Garland, Dopheide, Friott, Lemke, Schwanbeck and Campagna responding to the roll call. The Clerk creported all members of the Council present. THE JUDICIARY AND ASSESSMENT COMMITTEE: had no re- port to offer. THE POLICE AND LICENSE CCJMMITTEE: had no report to offer. THE STREETS AND SIDEWALKS COMMITTEE: had no report to offer. THE WATER COMMITTEE: had no report to offer. THE SiwER, DRAINAGE AND SANITATION COMMITTEE:: The Clerk read the following report, submitted by Alderman Dopheide,, chairman of the Sewer, Drainage and Sanitation Committee: To: Hon. Mayor and City Council City of Des Plaines From: E.N. Fletcher, City Engineer At the request of Mr. Walter Dopheide, Chairman of the Sewer, Drainage and Sanitation Committee, a survey of ways to carry the sanitary sewage from the Cumberland Subdivision into the Interceptor Sewer of the Sanitary District nas been made and the following report is herewith submitted: Two lines have been surveyed. The one line, herein- after called line "A", starts at the manhole in tne intersection of Seegers Road and Broadway and extends along Seeger's Road to Golf Road and along Golf Road to the Maine Township sewer now under construction iniRiver Road. The length of this line is 6340 lin. feet. Line "B" starts at the mannole in the intersection of Seeger's Road and Broadway and extends along Seeger's Road to Rand Road, hence, along Rand Road to Graceland, Graceland to 48 Willow, Willow to Harding Avenue and along Harding Avenue to the Sanitary District manhole in River Road. The length of this line is 7430 lin. feet. Line "A* is approximately 1000 feet shorter than line "B*, however, due to the depth of the present sewers in Cumberland it will be necessary to install booster pumps to raise the sewage a distance of ten feet at the Cumberland end of the proposed line in order to meet the Maine Township sewer at River Road. The City now ownswmps which could be used for tnis purpose. If this line is used a new pump station will have to be con- structed making the cost of tnis line eoual to that of line "B". A sewer can be laid along line "B" on an ade- quate grade witn an average cut of twelve feet. This line has a direct outlet into the Sanitary Interceptor Sewer and no booster pumps are necessary and is therefore, in the opinion of the writer, the line to be preferred. The estimated cost of either line is $7,500.00 for material, transportation, office rent and engineering. It is understood that,if constructed, the work will be performed with WPA labor and for that reason no labor costs have been included in tnis estimate. The estimate of costs is based on intercepting the existing sewer in Cumberland with a 12" sewer and on using 12* pipe through -out the length of the proposed improvement. The writer recommends that the City Engineer be instructed to complete the plans for this improvement, using either line "A* or line "B* as the council may desire, and to file same with the State Sanitary Board and with the Sanitary District for their approval,and further recom- mends that the City Council pass a resolution requesting the Sanitary District, of which Cumberland is a part, to appropriate sufficient funds for and to construct said pro- posed sewer and that a plea be made to the Izack Walton Club, the Lions Club and other clubs and business organi- zations in the City of Des Plaines to pass similar resol- utions that they may be presented to the Trustees of the Sanitary District along witn the completed plans of the proposed improvement. Signed: E.I. FLETCHER, cc - W.Doprneide .
