ILLINOIS POST-WAR PLANNING COMMISSION: The Clerk then read

December 15, 1943
Dear Sir:
We believe that your municipality must be developing a
post-war public works construction program. However, the
questionnaire sent the corporate authorities in September has
not been returned nor have we had any word from them. Thinking
that our letter and enclosures may have been misplaced, we are
enclosing two copies of the questionnaire. We will appreciate it
if you will aid the authorities in compiling the requested data
and return one copy to us at your early convenience.
This Commission is the only statewide agency, Federal or
State sponsored, now actively engaged in collecting information
on the needs of the various taxing bodies for post-war public
works construction. The information compiled from the returned
questionnaires will be used by the Commission in its liaison with
Federal officials and agencies. The findings and recommendations
of the Commission will be reported to the Governor and General
Assembly.
One of the objectives of the Commission is to help
your municipality and all other taxing bodies provide employ-
ment in the post-war period through worthwhile public works
projects, and your cooperation is solicited.
Yours very sincerely,
P.S.
E. Roy Wells
If the questionnaire cannot be returned soon, we would
appreciate a letter from you advising us as to progress
on the post-war program in your community.
The Chair referred this letter to the Committee on Municipal Development
for study and recommendation.
