This matter has been under consideration by the department and I am now instructed to inform you that in so far as the traffice control sig- nals are concerned, we find that the volume of traffice through both these intersections is not sufficient to warrant the installation of traffic Control signals. Therefore, we can not participate in that feature of the work. With respect to the widening of Keeney Avenue through the City, this department is favorable towards such a project and is willing to join with the City in the construction of such widening on the basis that this department will pay the cost of grading and paving, if the City williay the cost of building the curb and gutter and such drainage work as is necessary. We have estimated the cost of the work to be done by the City to be approximately $10,000 and that the work to be done by the State approximately $40,000.00. If you will let me know your wished in this respect, we shall be glad to act accordingly. Yours very truly, Signed: KENDRICK HARGER, District Engineer The motion was made by Alderman Henrich and seconded by Alderman Friott to instruct the City Engineer to inform the State Highway Department that while the City should like to accept the plan as outlined in the fore- going letter, it will be impossible to do so because of lack of funds, and that the Council requests that Algonquin Road be widened entirely with State funds.

As you will note it is signed by more than 100 parents of children attending Central School. It is also signed by member s of the teaching staff of the school. There was a very general discussion of this matter be our board with the decision that the petition be forwarded to your body. Our board heartily endorses the good work being done by the Des Plaines Nurse and Welfare Association and the Tuberculosis Clinic CYD and wishes to see this work continued. However, we feel that this is distinctly a community project 0-1 and accordingly should be housed in the community building. Our board d has previously taken no action in this matter because of our desire to co-operate with the Welfare Council in every way possible. The attached petition, however, speaks for itself we feel, and accordingly we ask that you make suitable provision for housing the Association in the Community Building. Yours very truly, Board of Education, District 62 Signed: W.I. MERRIAM, Secretary and followed by reading a letter from the President of the Central School P.T.A.s • February 8, 1940 Hon. Hobart M. Ahbe, Mayor and Members of the City Council Des Plaines, Illinois Gentlemen: At the last regular meeting of the School Board of District 62 held Monday evening, February 5, 1940, we presented to said School Board, a resolution bearing the signatures of 106 parents of children attending Central School, requesting the School Board to cause to be removed from Central School, the Des Plaines Nurse and Welfare Association and the Chest and Infant Clinics. These resolutionswere accepted by the School Board who, in turn, is forwarding them to you for further attention. Inasmuch as these institutions are definitely community projects. Please understand that as the Resolutions state, this move has been made by our Association solely for the purpose of safeggarding the health and best interests of our children. We are wholeheartedly in accord with the splendid work carried on by these groups and shall continue to support them in the future, as we have always done in the past. We shall appreciate your usual prompt cooperation and ask that you advise us at your earliest convenience as to your disposition of the matter. Yours very truly, Signed: ELLEN S. OLSON (Mrs. Hale W. Olson,) President, Central School PTA Mrs. J.C. Van Schaick, Welfare Chairman, Central School PTA This was followed by the reading of the following letter from the Des Plaines Nurse and Welfare Association: WG8 DES PLAINES NURSE & WELFARE Des Plaines, I11. TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN: Feb. 16, 1940 It has been brought to our attention through the newspapers that the PTA has asked the removal of the Nurse and Welfare Association from the basement of the Central School because of the danger in spreading disease to the school children. Now the fact that the aim of the Nurse and Welfare Association is to prevent contagion is in itself proof that the PTa is not well informed. It has also been erroneously stated that T.B. patients roam through the building. Whereas only the contact cases come to the Chest Clinic which is conducted to teach prevention in the spread of tuber- culosis. If the members of the PTA would acquaint themselves with the work of the Nurse and Welfare Association they would find that the danger is all imaginary. We wish to say that there is no danger whatsoever to the school children. Yours very truly, Signed: BOARD OF DIRECTORS of the Nurse and Welfare Association. Members of the Board of Health: DR. A.M. PURVES HR. H.F. HELLER ELSIE WILLER (Mrs. L.A.) WILLIAM KOEHLER Edward Miers, M.D. Dr. A. Naffziger Dr. John H. Krueger Dr. A.A. Fuhlbrigge Dr. P.J. Fahey , Dr. S.A. Purves Olga A. Osback, R.N.
