Your City Attorney has investigated the above and has had a

mits with this report results of said interview and his
opinion on the subject.
KENNETH G.MEYER - City Attorney
and followed by reading the following supplemental letter:
KENNETH G.MEYER - City Attorney:
June 11 1940
City Council
City of Des Plaines
Gentlemen:
In connection with the demand of John Boeckenhauer made
upon the City Council to remove certain water mains and
sewer pipes from property which he alleges to be his, I
wish to advise that it is the contention of Mr.Boeckenhauer
that he has title to the south half of Thacker S reet from
the easterly right of'way line of Outer Belt Lin6 Railway
and the westerly right of way line of Wolf Road.
To the best of my knowedge there never was a formal
dedication of Thacker Street for street purposes by the
owners of the land now used as Thacker Street between the
Belt Line and Wolf Road. However, a road can be dedicated
for public use without the necessity of a formal written
dedication. The Supreme Court has held that where owners
of property permit land to be used as a right of way for
341
twenty yeafs and the use is actual, open exclusive,ad-
verse and continuous, the property owner is barred from
prohibiting the use of the right of way; and likewise,
the Supreme Court has held that such usage for a lesser
period than twenty years over a piece of land where sub-
stantial public improvements have been made thereon
amounts to dedication of the strip of land for highway
purposes.
To the best of lay knowledge the improvements which Mr.
Boeckenhauer wishes to have removed from Thacker Street
were placed therein when he was not the owner of the
property, and only recently Mr.Boeckenhauer res.acquired
title to the land surrounded by Thacker Street, Wolf Road,
Algonquin Road and the Outer Belt Line Railway, and upon
the date that he re -acquired title Thacker Street was
openly used as a travelled right of way, and the Supreme
Court has held that where one acquires title to land he
is charged with knowledge of adverse possession by others
and that possession by another has the same effect as a
recorded deed.
I doubt quite seriously whether Mr.Boeckenhauer could
by legal processeject the City from that part of
Thacker Street which he claims is his property. How-
ever,
owever, his attorney stated that if the proper terms could
be agreed upon Mr.Boeckenhauer would quit claim any
interest he might have in Thacker Street to the City
for street purposes. I suggest, therefore, that this
matter be referred to the proper committee for further
consideration.
Very truly yours
KENNETH G.MEYER
City Attorney
Mayor Abbe referred this letter to a joint committee (consisting
of the Streets and Sidewalks Committee, The sewer,Drainage & Sani-
tation Committee and the Water Committee) for further study and
recommendation.
SUGGESTS FILING SUIT AGAINST R.E.KILBY Co: The Clerk
then read the following letter:
KENNETH G.MEYER - City Attorney
June 12 1940
City Council
Des Plaines, Illinois
Gentlemen:
In 1929 the City instituted special assessment proceed-
ings in the Superior Court, which were never completed
because of the failure of the contractor to proceed
under his contract. This special assessment proceeding
is the one under which David B.Maloney claimed his attorneys
fees, for which judgment was entered in the Superior Court,
which judgment was affirmed by the Appellate Court.
In connection with special assessment proceedings the
contractor, R.E.Kilby Company, filed a bond with the
City, signed by the Metropolitan Casualty Insurance Co.
of New York, in the penal sum of $13,500.00, and.under
said bond the surety, among other things, agreed to
"save and keep harmless the municipality against and
from all liability, judgments, costs, damages, attorneys'
fees, and expenses which may in any wise accrue against
the municipality by reason of any act done or omitted
to be done by the contractor**************in performance
of said contract***************".
It is my opinion that the City has a cause of action
against the Metropolitan Casualty Insurance Company
3719
KennethG.Meyer letter (contd)
for the amount of the judgment rendered in favor of
David B.Maloney, and all costs incurred by the City
in connection with said litigation; and it is my ad-
vice that the Council pass the attached resolution,
making demand upon R.E.Kilby Company and the Metro-
politan Casualty Insurance Company for payment of the
damages sustained by the City, and upon failure of
the surety company to settle our demand I recommend
that the suit be filed in order to enforce collection.
Very truly yours
Kenneth G.Meyer
City Attorney
and followed by reading the following proposed resolution:

Dear Mr.Friedrich:
This will confirm arrangements made
for the Cook County Zoning Commission to hold the

ASK SIDEWALK MAINTENANCE IN CU t:ERLAND: The Clerk then
read the following letter:
Cumberland Maintenance Corporation
June 12,1940
City of Des Plaines
Des Plaines,Illinois
Honorable Mayor and CityCouncil:
By resolution adopted by the Board of Directors of the Cumberland
Maintenance Corporation on May 6th your attention is respectfully
directed to the condition of sinking and canting cement sidewalks
in Cumberland.
This condition is found to have developed principally where walks
are located above or close to sewers laid in parkway or beneath walks.
The source of this trouble we attribute to improper specification
of the backfill of the sewers or faulty inspection thereof.
Similarly at numerous lots one or two squares of sidewalks have also
sunk over laterals laid in to the lot lines. These laterals also
were laid to the specifications and under inspection of the City of
Des Plaines.
To permit this condition to continue may result in serious personal
injury for which the City may be liable as some of these walks are
difficult to walk on when dry and distinctly hazardous if icy or snow
covered. In addition, to leave these walks in this tilted or canted
condition will almost certainly result in an accelerated and gfeater
deterioration of these walks, which we believe it advisable the City
avoid responsibility for by timely correction of the condition hereby
reported.
Respectfully submitted
LOUIS F. STUEBE
Secretary —

The motion was made by Alderman Johnson and seconded by Carroll that this
letter be referred to the Streets and Sidewalks Committee for Study and
Recommendation. The motion was voted upon by acclamation whereupon the

ILLINOIS MUNICIPAL RETIREMENT FUND: The Clerk then read the
following letter:
Illinois Municipal Retirement Fund
May 6 1940
Board of Trustees
Village Hall
Des Plaines, Illinois
Gentlemen:
This fund was created by an act of the 1939 legislature.
It provides a sound plan for retirement of employees of municipali-
ties in the State of Illinois who are now excluded from Social
Security protection.
Participation in this Fund is possible only by a refer-
endum of the people at the first general or special election
following the filing of a written petition of at least 1% of the
regular voters voting at the last general election for municipal
officers. A number of municipalities have indicated an interest
and are planning on presenting the subject to the people at the
fall elections.
This letter will serve to inform you of this situation
so that if you are interested you will be able to take the necessary
steps to obtain the benefits of the system. We have made arrange-
ments to supply to any municipality so desiring, for a standard
nominal fee, a report indicating the estimated costs of partici-
pation.
We will be glad to answer any questions concerning the
Fund or to supply further information with respect to probable
costs of participation.
Respectfully yours

S.C.Campagna
General Chairman

entire street be given a seal coating. He stated that there is a possibility
of getting about $1,000.00 worth of asphalt from the W.P.A. If successful
in getting this asphalt W.P.A.labor could be used, and thus the work could be
done at relatively small expense to the City.

REPORTS BAD SEWER IN CUMBERLAND: Alderman Johnson reported that
there is either a tilted or broken sewer in Cumberland. The motion was made
by Alderman Johnson and seconded by Dopheide to refer this matter to the
