Friedrich, City Clerk DesPlaines,I11., Oct. 6, 1941 To the mayor and City Councils Your Committee on Finance has investigated the above and has founds For the eight months period beginning January 1, 1941 and ending August 31, 1941, which represents two-thirds of the fiscal year, the City operated and maintained the following pieces of equipment: FIRE DEPARTMENT: 1 Reo Fire Truck 1 Mack Fire Truck 1 Seagrave Fire Truck WATER DEPARTMENT: 1 - 1938 Plymouth Coupe 1 - 1929 ford Coupe POLICE DEPARTMENT: 1 - 1941 Chevrolet, Coach 1 - 1940 Chevrolet Coach STREET DEPARTMENT: 1 - Austin Sweeper 1 - 1932 Ford Dump Truck 1 - 1929 Ford Pickup 1 - International Tractor 1 - Tar Kettle GARBAGE DEPARTMENT: 1 - 1935 Dodge Dump 1 - 1938 Chevrolet Dump SEWER DEPARTMENT: 1 - Sewer Pump (Homelite) , The la bor cost (exclusive of parts, oil, grease and materials) for the said period was $341.47. Assuming that the rate of cost would be uniform over the entire year, the yearly cost of labor for maintaining the said equipment would be $512.21. This figure includes the labor cost for a 11 repairs made such as tire repairs, welding, tuning motors, adjusting brakes, charging batteries, bepairing lights, grinding valves, greasing and all other repairs, but no materials, oil, or grease. Recently the Water Department acquired an additional 1940 International Pickup Truck while the Garbage Department bought an additional G.M.C. Pickup Truck. This means that two additional trucks will have to be maintained. Allowing $150.00 per year for these two additional trucks our total estimated cost per year would reach the sum of $662.21. 554 {Report cunt'd) In order to properly maintain all of the City's motor equipment it would be necessary to house all equipment under one roof. The Des Plaines Avenue Pumping Station is not large enough to accomodate all our equipment, and providing new quarters and equipping them with adequate shop facilities such as drill presses, lathes, greasing rack, grinders, buffers, welding equipment, tools and a stock of parts, would be too costly in comparison with the present cost of maintenance. We your committee therefore are convinced that the cost of maintaining our equipment would not be reduced or improved by engaging a (till time mechanic and therefore recommend: That since our examination has shown that the charges for labor made by our local garages for maintaining the City's motor equipment have been reasonable, the City continue to have its equipment repaired and main- tained by our local garages. ,(Signed) Finance Committee G. Walter Pflughgupt Henry J. Lemke J. A. Carroll The motion was made by Alderman Campagna and seconded by Lemke to concur in this report. The motion was voted upon by acclamation whereupon the Mayor declared the motion carried. petitions WANT RIVERSIDE PUMPING STATION RAZED: The Clerk then read the following To the Mayor and City Council of the City of Des Plaines,I11.
