Mr. Edgar J. Friedrich,
City Clerk,
City of Des Plaines,
Des Plaines, Illinois
Dear Sir: DES PLAINES, ILL. - CROSSING PROTECTION
DES PLAINES AVENUE.
Please refer to your letter of April 13th, advising that the City
Council of the City of Des Plaines adopted the recommendations ptoposed l'
the Des Plaines Traffic Commission and request that we make the necessary
installations pertaining thereto, namely,
1. That the Safety gates at our Des Plaines Avenue crossing
be made automatic with provision for manual control from
the depot tower similar to the Pearson Street, Lee Street
and Graceland Avenue crossing gates.
2. That the highway stop -and go lights at Des Plaines Avenue
and Miner Street be made automatic so as to show "stop"
on Des Plaines Avenue when trains are approaching.
3. That two (2) flasher lights on posts be installed at
the d epot cross -walk.
Please be advised that we have made application to the Illinois
Commerce Commission and received approval for the installation of the
pedestrian flashing light signalsat the depot cross - walk and that these
flashing lights are being placed in service today, June 16, 1944.
The matter of providing futomatic operation at the Des Plaines
Avenue crossing has been authorized by our Management. We are now preparing
application to the Illinois Commerce Commission for approval of the change
and are also making application to the War Production Board for use of the
necessary materials.
As soon as these approvals are received we will advise. It will be
necessary to have the War Production Board's approval before we can make
arrangements for the materials. This may take some time.
We wish to express our appreciation of the co-operation we have
received from you and the City Council and other City Officials in working
out these safety matters.
Yours truly,
Supt. Telegraph & Signals
The motion was made by Alderman Napieraleki and seconded by Campagna

Council's appreciation for its prompt action regarding the request of Des
Plaines. The motion was voted upon by acclamation whereupon the Mayor de-
clared the motion carried.
BOECKENHAUER VS. CITY -ACTION IN EJECTMENT: The Clerk then read the
following letter:
Mayor and City Council,
Des Plaines, Illinois.
Re:
Gentlemen:
July 17, 1944.
Boeckenhauer vs. City,
Action in Ejectment,
Superior 8ourt, # 43 S 11629
The above matter came on for a decision on July 12th, 1944,
before the Hon. Peter H. Schwabe, who made a finding in favor of the
Boeckenhauer's and against the City. This judgment is one of ouster in
which the court found that the City unlawfully withheld the property
from the Boeckeahauers. There is still pending, as the second part of
this ejectment action, the question of damages for the detention and use
of said land for many years.
Upon judgment being rendered against the City, I made the usual
motions for a new trial and for arrest of judgment, both of which were de-
nied. To safeguard the interests of the City, I prayed an appeal, which
was allowed. This latter for the purpose of protecting the record in the
event an appeal is taken.
288 (BOECKENHAUER CASE LETTER =VD.)
Your advices as to what further action you wish to take will
be appreciated.
Very truly yours,
FMO:S (signed) Frank M. Opeka
The motion was made by Alderman Pflughaupt and seconded by Johnson
to direct the City Attorney to appeal the said case to the State Supreme
Court. The motion was voted upon by acclamation whereupon the Mayor de-
clared the motion carried.
ZONING RE-CLASSIFICATION: The Clerk then read the following recom-
mendation:
RECOMMENDA7I0N
To the Honorable Mayor and
Council of the City of
DesPlaines, Illinois: -
In order to complete the records, your Zoning Board'of Appeals held
a meeting in accordance with the legal notice below:
LEGAL NOTICE
Zoning
Legal Notice of Public Hearing
Des Plaines, Ill.
Notice is Hereby Given that a public hearing will be held on
application for amendment to the 2bning Ordinance of the City
of Des Plaines, Illinois, at 8 p.m. o'clock (Central War Time),
on May 16, 1944 at the Des Plaines City Hall, Des Plaines, Illinois.
The property involved is a tract of land d3scribed as follows:
Territory lying and being between the East line of the right
of way of the Minneapoli4 St. Paul and Sault Sainte Marie
Railway Co., and the West line of Des Plaines Avenue and
between a line parallel to and 170.71 feet South of the cen-
ter line of Howard Avenue and a line parallel to and 170.71
feet North of the center line of Howard.Avenue, (except the
lots facing on Des Plaines Avenue, and also excepting Bloole
3 and 4 in Shaw's Riverview Addition heretofore reclassified
as Area District A4).
The amendment as proposed seeks to rezone, the above legally described
property from its present "Commercial" classification to the classifi-
cation of "Residential District, Area District 'B' (apartment)".
Before your Zoning Board had an opportunity to act on this petition,
they were notified that the petitioners had withdrawn their petition and
were going to submit a new petition on the basis of a different classification
for the property involved.
With this in mind, your Zoning Board took no action and we are just
submitting this letter asa matter of record to complete the file.

A.H.James, Secretary
Zoning Board of Appeals
City of DesPlaines,Illinois.
This communication was ordered placed on file by the Mayor.
The Clerk then also read the following additional recommendation:
11ECOMMENDATION
To the Honorable Mayor and
Council of the City -of
Des Plaines, Illinois:
Your Zoning Board of Appeals held a meeting July 11, 1944 at the City
Hall, concerning the rezoning of the following property:
Territory lying and being between the East line of the right of
way of the Minneapolis, S. Paul and S:ult Sainte Marie Railway Co.,
and the West line of Des Plaines Avenue and between a line parallel
to and 170.71 feet South of the center line of Howard Avenue (ex-
cept the lots facing on Des Plaines.Avenue)
And
Territory lying and being between the East line of White Street
and the West line of Des Plaines Avenue and between.a line parallel
to and 170.71 feet North of the center.line of Howard Avenue (ex-
(HECOMMENDATfON cONT'ri. )
cept lots facing Des Plaines,Avenue and,excepting also Blooks 3
and 4 in Shaw's Riverview Addition heretofore reclassified as
Area District AA).
The property involved along Howard Street is mostly vacant, with a
_few single family residences and a number of duplex dwellings that have
.been built in blocks #3 and 4 in Shaw's Riverview Addition. The idea back of
this application for re -zoning is to protect this property,against the influx
of undesirable business establishments at this time, and also to protect the
property against too dense a population.
It is quite desirable to change the classification of this property
in order to make certain that future builders will be able to get insured
mortgages on their property. However, there is certain of this property that
is not sub -divided at the present time and can be donsidered acreage. Most
of this property is owned by one individual. _
It is the recommendation of your Zoning Board of Appeals that the
property described above be reclassified from commercial classification to
residential district area "A", single family residences, with the exception of
the property that extends Atom West line of Desplaines Avenue to the easterly
line of Cedar Street extended both sides of Howard Avenue, and extending 170.71
feet North and South of the center line of Howard Avenue, which should be
left as now designated in our Zoning Ordinance as Commercial Classification.
rr�
We believe that the above re -zoning will protect the existing property
and future developments along Howard Street, and at the same time will allow
the neighborhood sufficient commercial zoling to service such a neighborhood.
_A. H. James, Secretary,
Zonijng Board of Appeals,DesPlaines,I11.
The motion was made by Alderman Halverson and seconded by Kehe to concur in
this recommendation. The motion was voted upon by acclamation whereupon
the Mayor declared the motion carried and the recommendation concurred in.
The Clerk then read for first reading a proposed ordinance pertaining
to the foregoing recommendation and entitled:

EDGAR J. PRIEDRICH RESIGNS AS CITY CLERK: The Clerk then read the
following letter:
To the Mayor and City Council
of the City of Des Plaines,
Cook County, Illinois.
Gentlemen:
July 17, 1944.
I herewith tender my res ignation as City Clerk of the City of Des Plaines,
in order to accept a position as Administrative Assistant to the City Manager
at Burbank, California.
After living in Deo Plaines for twenty-three years, and serving as City
Clerk for thirteen of those years, the matter of leaving is not an easy task.
It means leaving behind many friends, and a faithful public who elected me to
office for five consecutive terms.
During my thirteen years in office, I have done all in my power to
give my best for the benefit of the City and its people, and 2 leave with
the satisfaction that my efforts were appreciated, and that I have contributed
at least a small share toward my City's progress. The work was not always
easy, but I enjoyed it, because I saw progress for Des Plaines.
I leave Des Plaines not because I harbor any dissatisfaction, but
rather because my new position is under Civil Service, and therefore offers
greater security for me and my family.
The people of Des Plaines have given me the privilege of serving
shoulder to shoulder with four of its Mayors, all of whom have won my respect
and admiration.
As the past thirteen years pass through my mind, much as a civic
pageant of Des Plaines, I recognize the fact that each of the four Mayors
with whom I was privileged to serve, faced his specific problems, and that
each one of them left his mark d achievement upon the pages of the City's history.
The Honorable Charles Hammerl. Mayor 1929-1933,FOund immediately upon
assuming office that his proposed program had been hopelessly blown to bits at
its very outset, -because of the. infamous Cook County'tax muddle, which pre-
vented tax billing for over two.years and crippled the finances of all Cook
County taxing bodies almost beyond hope ofxecovery. No one could foretell
when.relief would come. And so. Mayor_ Hammerl worked earnestly for four years,
hoping, alwaays hoping that the Legislature would unravel the mess. His
administration's chief objectivetherefore, became the matter of keeping the
City's head above water. He achieved his objective and deserves a lot of credit.
THe Honorable George H. Kinder, Mayor 1933-1937, assumed office with
the City's head barely above water. The Cook County tax muddle had lefts its
scars upon the City's finances.. His first two years in office were devoted
largely to restoring the City's. credit by means of refunding defaulted bond is-
sues and funding an accumulation of some fifty thousand dollars ($50,000.00)
worth of bills which were unpaid because of delay in tax billing by the County.
(i YONATiON LES CON'P'ri.)
During his latter two years, the restored credit made possible the
purchase of a new Fire Truck, the purchase of the -Cater Well, and the
starting of construction of the new /tater Softening Plant and the new
City Hall.
271
These were real achievements and should be recognized by Des Plaines
as Mayor Kinder's principle contribution to the City's welfare.
The Honorab],e Hobart M. Ahbe Mayor 1937-1941, took over the partially
completed Water Works and City Hall, and successfully guided these im-
provements to completion.
With new quarters in the new City Hall, Mayor Ahbe, under the able
direction of the late Marshall Ernest Drexler, developed a modern efficient
police department and traffic safety program, which brought to Des Plaines
the highest award -in the National Traffic Safety Contest as the Country's safest
City in its population class.
With new Fire Department quarters and a new fire tuck, he also
provided the Fire Department *ith two full-time firemen to provide more
adequate fire protection.
Mayor Ahbe's administration also deserves credit for the passage of
the Revised Building Code of 1939, and the appointment of the City's first
building inspector, Frank F. Scharringhausen, who has developed our Depart-
went of Building Control and Inspection to a degree worthy of recognition.
The ordinance providing "Subdivision Regulations" was also passed
during Mayor Ahbe's term of office. This ordinance, one of the first of
its kind, is being used as a model in maty cities, and has already proved
its worth during the existing War -Housing boom.
The Honorable Charles H. Garland. Mayor 1941 to date,, provided an
administration characterized by agressive leadership, harmonious and cooperative
action, and unprecedented public support.
He assumed office in May, 1941, while all Europe was embroiled in
war. Mayor Garland foresaw that our beloved country would likewise soon be
drawn into the Maelstrom of World War II, and being especially gifted as an
organizer, formed an efficient 0. C. D. organization which became the enyy
of many neighboring communities. Then came "Pearl Harbor" but thanks to Mayor
Garland, Des Plaines was prepared.
Because of the steady growth of the City, and the even more rapid
growth anticipated because of the fact that the Douglas Aircraft Company lo-
cated near the City, Mayor Garland affected a thorough internal reorganization
of the City's PubliC Works Departments, setting up a number of well -integrated
operating departments underlie direction of competent superintendents. With-
out such reorganization, the City could never have handled the unprecedented
building boom of 575 family units, in eighteen months.
Mayor Garland should also be complimented for the achievement of
consistently reducing the City's tat -rate during his first three consecutive
years in office.
Perhaps the outstanding achievement of Mayor Garland's administration
is the agressive manner with which the war -housing program was carried out.
Des Plaines obtained more than its share of war housing; Des Plaines obtained
the best Quality of war -housing. All of this new building will soon be on the
tax -rolls and will eventually produce revenues which will enable the City to
improve its municipal services.
the progress of Mayor Garland's administration was achieved largely
through the dynamic leadership of the Mayor himself, and through his ability
to inspire councilmen, and citizens groups, to action.
Des Plaines will be proud to see him as its Representative in Congress.
Gentlemen of the Council, I wish to thank you and your predecessors
for the splendid cooperation you have given me, and I hereby.pledge you qy
fullest cooperation and assistance whenever I can be of help to you in the
future.
tRI;SIONArION T CONTID.)
In my humble opinion, Des Plaines has a bright future before it.
Make the most of it.
May God bless Des Plaines, its officers, and its people.
Sincerely yours,
(signed) Edgar J. Friedrich
