Inspector; was referred to your committee for investigation
and report:
"Several complaints have come in by phone and in
person regarding the delapidated condition of a 2 story
building on the East side of Circle Ave. north of Prospect.
This building was formerly used as Commercial first floor.'
Would suggest that the municipal development committee
visit this'building along with Fire Marshall W.Lagerhausen
and make recommendations as to what can be done to correct
this situation. I would be glad to accompany this gi;oup
on inspection."
EDGAR J. FRIEDRICH, City Clerk
Des Plaines,I11. June 1, 1942
To the Mayor and City Council:
Your Committee on Municipal Development has investigated the above
and has found: that the two story building is in a very delapidated
condition, with some of the windows broken and closed up with boards,
in spite of the fact that two flats are occupied. Fire Marshall
W. Lagerhausen has made a definite request that all glass be replaced
and that said building be made suitable for living quarters. The
old barn has been removed and owner has been notified to also remove
an old shed building.
This committee together with the Fire Marshall will see that all re-
quests made will be carried out.

following report:
COMMITTEE REPORT
To the Chairman Kehe, Committee on Subdivisions, Building & Municipal
Development Committee, at the meeting of the City Council, held on
May 4, 1942, the following matter was referred to your committee:
677
(COMMITTEE REPORT - cont'd)
The question as to whether or not it would be advisable for the
City of Des Plaines to adopt the practice of demanding a sub-
stantial cash deposit in connection with the issuance of build-
ing permits, to serve as a completion bond for the building to
be built under the said permit. The cash deposit could then be
used by the City to wreck any such buildings as might not be
completed.
It was reported that this practice is in operation, in several of
our neighboring communities, one of which I believe was Riverside,
Illinois.
EDGAR J. FRIEDRICH
City Clerk
Des Plaines, Illinois,June 1, 1942
To the Mayor and City Council:
Your Committee on Municipal, Development has investigated the
above and has found: I have personally contacted the Building
Inspectors of the following cities of: Evanston, Riverside,
Winnetka and Wilmette and have been informed by all of the
Building Inspectors that they have no such ordinance and there-
fore make no request for a cash deposit nor completion bond.
All applications for building permit are carefully checked as
to their responsibility and consequently have had no uncom-
pleted buildings, I.have also taken this matter up with the
Aetna Casualty andSurety Co. who informed me that- such a bond
could not be obtainable from any Surety Company at this time
due to the fact that at the present time there are many govern-
ment rules and regulations and could have an effect on the com-
pletion of any building.
We, your Committee on Municipal Development,therefore recommends
that this matter be placed on file and re -considered at some
future time.

APPELLATE COURT REMANDS B -W CASE FOR RE-TRIAL1 The Clerk then read the
following letter:
June 1, 1942
City Council
Des Plaines, Illinois
Re: B. - W. Construction Company
Gentlemen:
I am pleased to inform you that on Wednesday, May 27, the Appellate
Court of Illinois rendered a decision in favor of the City by revers-
ing the ruling of Judge Michael Feinberg of the Superior Court.
You will recall that the City sued B. -W. Construction Company for damages
for their failure to proceed with the construction of the water softening
plandt and we sued the American Surety Company, who was the surety on their
performance bond.
At the close of the plaintiff's evidence before Judge Feinberg, he in-
structed the jury to find the defendants not guilty on the theory that
the City had not made out a prima facie case. We appealed this decision
�--� to the Appellate Court and the decision of the Appellate Court sub-
stantially mates as follows:
1 - That there was sufficient evidence presented by the City to
warrant the case being decided by the jury.
2 - The suit by the City was brought within the proper time.
3 - The ,deflate Court further ruled that the City complied in
every respect with the bond and the contract with respect to
the requisite notice required to be given by the City in case
of a defaulting contractor.
The Surety Company contended that the suit shoupild have been filed six
months after the B. -W. Construction Company refused to proceed with
the work and the City claimed that the six month provision did not apply
at all because B. -W. Construction Company failed to perform under the
contract and the Appellate Court very definitely agreed with the City on
this point.
You will recall that the Surety Company has also contended that they were
not given the full thirty days to take over construction because we ad-
vertised for bids before letting thirty days go by after the BZ -W. Con-
struction Company defaulted. It was ter opinion that we had a right to re -
advertise for bids. The new contractor did not commence work until after
the thirty days expired and the Appellate Court held with us on this point.
The entire case was remanded by the Appellate Court to the Trial Court for
re -trail so, unless the case is settled, the City will introduce again
(but before a different Judge) the same testimony that it introduced at
the previous trial.
Very truly yours,
(Signed) Kenneth G. Meyer
City Attorney

SOO LINE RAILROAD TO REPAIR CROSSINGS: The Clerk read the following
letter:
Stevens Point, Wis.
May 20th, 1942
Mr. Kenneth G. Meyer
City Attorney
Des Plaines, Illinois
Dea r Sir:
I have your letter of May 15th in regard to complaint relative to the condition of
various crossings in the City of Des Plaines.
It is our intention to start in ivery near future putting in hard surface crossings
on all streets within the city limits of Des Plaines. The work involves blacktop
crossings on both tracks and between. There has been some delay in obtaining
680
(Letter - conttd)
material, but it is now .all assembled and will be shipped in the very
near future, and I am confident that the work will be completed with-
in a period of thirty days or sooner. We have found it difficult to
hire section labor in this vicinity and it has been necessary to ship
in men from Wisconsin and Minnesota to work on the tack. However, we
are about through with our ballasting and tie renewals and figure on
getting started on the crossings immediately.

OIL RIGHT-OF-WAY: The Clerk then read the
May 17, 1942
Receipt is acknowledged of your letter of May llth concerning the
possibility of our Company taking action soon to otl the track through
the City of Des Plaines.
I wish that I could give you some definite assurance as to what our
program will be this year with respect to track oiling but I can not -
bandidly I do not know at this time what we will be able to do. You may
perhaps be familiar with the oil situation as it exists today - right at
this time we are meeting with difficulty in obtaining oil for our various
requirements and while I do not want to appear overly pessimistic there
is presently some -doubt as to whether we will be able to obtain the oil
that -would be required to permit of our carrying out our usual track oil-
ing program. In addition to the oil supply problem there is also the
matter of tank car equipment - tank cars today are being moved in prefer-
ence to all other traffic - you may be familiar through recent publications
in the press with restrictions that are now in effect covering the use of
these cars.
I can, therefore, only say to you that if there is any improvement in the
oil and tank car situation as will permit us to carry out our usual program
for oiling track, the necessary attention will•be given to the treatment
of our tracks through Des Plaines.
Yours truly,
F. J. BYINGTON

assembly of our files for the duration of the war and six months there-

To Municipal Authorities of Des Plaines
The Mayor and Aldermen
Gentlemen:
A proper settlement of claim against.City of Des Plaines is due F.J. Schmohl
who is paying taxes on two lots trespassed upon and as result they are worth-
less, for they are unsalable. In the last session something "phony" was put
over and the result was no payment of damages for running a steam -shovel
through lots 9 and 10 in Block 5 and placing water -pipes about 5 feet from the
boundary of said lots.
When the lawyer with the Irish Name told me that seven -hundred is all the City
can arrange for, and I had hoped it might be more, I was compelled to sign a
statment that I would not again sue the City and I received no cas h. I now
know the place to report this matter and real justice will result.
However, I will suggest you take agtion on the following: that you buy an 8 or
10 foot strip along the right-of-way of the Sioux Rwy, in which the water pipes
are, and upon payment of a thousand dollars, I will render a deed for the land.
Please read this to your June Council meeting and get this thing all settled
fully. Awaiting a statement of what was done at your yieeting I remain
