The Finance Committee through its chairman Alderman Pflughaupt then introduced the following letter: April 5, 1943 Kr. G. Walter Pflughaupt , Alderman Des Plaines, Illinois Dear .Mr. Pflughaupt: You have revolted ms to report and comment on the annual report of the Firemen's Tension Fund submitting to me a copy of such report for analysis. The situation as therein expressed warrants immediate attention.. The deplorable condition of the fuzed May be due to many tactors particularly to the failure of the city in not providing the $5,000.00 fund for such purpose prior to the adoption of the Pension Fund Plan. The pro- visions of the Statute were mandatory, but not carried out. To remedy this situation, it is recommended that all or a portion of the 2% Foreign Fire Insurance Tax many be added to the Pension Fund, at least until stash time as the fund will reach the amount required to pay out benefits. The authority for such use can be found in Chapter 24, Artieke 38-2 of the Illinois Revised Statutes 1941, which provided that such 2% insurance tax maybe turned over to the Pension fund for the purposes therein seb forth. To accomplish this, it shall be necessary for the City Council to pass an appropriate ordinance direct- ing that such fund when collected shall be turned over to the Treasurer of the Pension Fund in lieu of the Fire Department asnow provided.

Fletcher, City Engineer then submitted the following re Hon. Mayor and City Council April 5, 1943 City of Des Plaines Gentlemen: Re: Damages claimed by Mr. Jackson due to the sidewalk being on his property. Your committee has investigated this case and has -arrived at the following con- chnion; The sidewalk is on Mr. Jackson's property, however, it has caused no damage to his property. The City has a right to establish certain building lines. The minium building line established by ordinance will place any building errected on this property at least 19 feet back of the present walk. The property, at the present time, is acreage and is of little valine unless subdivided. When this property is sub. divided the owner will be required, according to City Ordinance., to dedicate the land that this sidewalk is on and to make Howard Street an 80 foot street; it being on a 4 section line. The sidewalk will then be in its proper location. For the above reasons we can not see where Mr. Jackson has suffered any damage and therefore recommend that his claim be denied.
