To the Mayor and City Council:
At the Council meeting of August 20th, your committee reported
on the "Dexter Acres" subdivision project, based on plat which had been sub-
mitted to us, and we recommended that objection be filed because of the indi-
cation on the said plat as to source of water supply and method of sewage dis-
posal, and our understanding from representatives of the subdivision that
septic tank systems were planned. Later in this same meeting of August 20,
a revised plat was submitted to the Council bearing approval of the City Plan-
ning Commission, and which revised plat was then referred to the Municipal De-
velopment Committee for attention and later report.
Two or three days subsequent to this Council meeting of August
20, the revised plat was removed from the custody of the City Clerk by a repre-
sentative of Dexter Acres and was thereby made unavailable to the Municipal De-
velopment dommittee.
Your Committee was in meeting the evening of August 31, all mem-
bers present, and this matter was discussed. We decided to seekcertain information
in connection with this subdivision which will aid us in making recommendation
on the revised plat if and when same is made available to your Committee.

Des Plaines, Illinois
Dear Sir:
I am most gratified and happy to learn of the generous response of his Honor,
Mayor Pflughaupt and the City Council, to our humble request of August 17, as
conveyed in your letter dated August 22. Will you please convey to these dis-
tinguished gentlemen the deep appreciation of Home Towners Inc., as well as my
sincere personal gratitude.
The hearty response of our City Fathers, together with that of the Northwest
Industrial Development Council, the Business Men's Association, and Our Civic
Groups, amply demonstrates that we have here in Des Plainest four important
groups affecting our welfare and economy, that have the will to work together
to create wise and judicious plans today, upon which to commence the building
of that Greater Des Plaines of tomorrow.
With this knowledge, need we face the future with fear and trembling? Nay, rather
let us resolve to bind these units together forthwith, that we may capitalise to
the full the tremendous fund of energy and wisdom that is hereby tendered us.
Having done this we need have no quams whatever, forour future as a community
is assured. Harold I.Southerwick, Pres., Home Towners Inc.

Council Chambers of the Municipal Building on the following described property:
That part,of the South One -Third of the Northwest
quarter of the Southeast quarter, Section 20,
Township 41 North, Range 12, East of the 3rd P.M.,
lying West of the Wisconsin Central Railroad,
Cook County, Illinois, in accordance with the motion
passed by the City Council referring this proposed
amendment to this Commission.
The primary reason for this hearing was due to the fact that there was
an error in the legal description of this property as originally published
and the Zoning Board recommendation under date of November 6, 1944. The
above description is correct legally.
The Zoning Board of Appeals sitting as a Commiss ion requests that their
original recommendation under date of November 6, 1944, be followed in changing
the classification of the above described property from the classification of
Commerical District to the classification as a light industrial district.
