BENSENVILLE REQUESTS INCINERATION SERVICE: The clerk then read the following • letteri Office of the Mayor City of Des Plaines Des Plaines, Illinois' Dear Sirs • We are very much in need of putting in effect a garbage pickeup and II disposal service in our Village, aid of course, the immediate need that confronts us is the manner in ,which we can dispose of the garbage. We have heard,, from various sources, the manner in which you people have of dis- posing of such, garbage, and am desirous to know if we could enter into an agree- ment with your city to handle our garbage, and also the cost of so doing, And what procedure would have to be followed in handling it to your incinerators. The population of our village is about 1800, about 400 families, and we hope to pick up the garbage at least once each week, maybe you cauld give us a little information along this lima Al also. Thanking you for whatever information you can give us in this respect and hope we can enter into an arrangement that will be advantageous to us both. Yours very truly, ROSE EICKELMAN Village Clerk 1 1 (BENSENVILLE - cont'd) seconded by The motion was made by Alderman Campagna andADopheide to the Committee on Sewers, Sanitation and Health for study motioh was voted upon by acclamation whereupon the Mayor SUGGESTIONS REGARDING ELECTRICAL CONTRACTORS: following letter: City of Des Plaines Municipal Building Des Plaines, Illinois Attention: City Clerk Gentlemen: 17 refer the said letter to and recommendation. The declared the motion carried. The Clerk then read the September 23, 1942 In accordance with Sections 154 and 155 of Article XVI of the Building Code of the City of Des Plaines, we hereby make application for the registration of Roy Allison and Arthur Langhoff as electrical contractors. For the purpose of your records, both of these individuals can be in care of Contour Saws,Inc,. 1217 Thacker Street, Des Plaines, Illinois. These men are MINIXXXXN in charge of maintaining our electrical equipment and we make -this application for their registration so that they are technically qualified to do the electrical work in the plants of Contour Saws, Inc, and File Bands, Inc. There is enclosed our check in the amount of $25.00 being payment of the fee of $12.50 due for each applicant for the balance of the year 1942 as provided in Section 155. It is my opinion that some provision should be inserted' in the Building Code to provide for the payment of an annual fee by industrial firms to cover all their electrical changes and installations whffich have to be made from time to time, and the fee for such permit should, in my opinion, be around $50.00 a year. Any industrial company hating electrically driven machinery must of necessity make changes and repairs from time to time, and it is very impractical to be filing applications for permits as the installations or changes are required as in many instances, the work is of an emergency nature. In due course, I will submit to the City Clerk a request for an amendment to the Building Code in keeping with the foregoing.suggestion. Very truly yours, KENNETH G. MEYER General Counsel The Mayor referred the said letter to the Committee on Subdivisions, Building and Municipal Development for study and recommendation.
