The kilowatt hours for 1,000 gallons of water pumped has remained approximately the same. It is evident therefore that the new pump is operating at better overall efficiency than before the change.

REZONE FOR LIGHT -MANUFACTURING (EDWARD NELSON): The Clerk read the fol- lowing letter: Hon. Mayor & City Council City of Des Plaines, Illinois Sirs: The Zoning Board of Appeals of the City of Des Plaines, sitting as a commission, held a public hearing after due notice thereof was given according to law, on the 7th day of November, 1945. This meeting was for the reclassification aC the property described below from comme;cial district Area C to classification Industrial A, light manufacturing. The property is known as the South one acre of that part of the North two-thirds of the North West quarter of the South East quarter of section 20, Township 41 North, Range 12, East of the third principal meridian, lying West of the Wisconsin Central Railroad right of way, inGbok County, Illinois. This area is described as approximately one acre andlies just North of the tract of land that was reclassified for the General Moulding Products Co. There was considerable discussion at the meeting, principally to de- termine what affect this property classified as light manufacturing, would have on the surrounding area. It was the consensus of opinion of those present that the proposed reclassification would not materially affect the surrounding area as to health and safety, as the proposed factory would be set back a considerabli distance from the highway. The owner agreed to provide sufficient parking space on his own property off the main highway. At a subsequent meeting of the Zoning Board, and after very careful consideration of all factors concerned, it the recommendation of the Zoning Board that the classification of this property be changed from commerical district Area C to classification Industrial A, light manufacturing. Respectfully submitted (signed) A. H. James, Secretary Zoning Board of Appeals, Des Plaines The motion was then made by Alderman Kehe and seconded by McKay to concur in the recommendation. The motion was voted upon by acclamation whereupon the Mayor declared the motion carried and the recommendation concurred in.

The Mayorput the question and the Clerk called the roll with the following result: Ayes, Aldermen Napieralski, Wolf, Kehe, Scharringhausen, McKay, Harm, Campagna and Halverson. Nays; None.

WIDENING OF THACKER STREET BETWEEN WOLF ROAD AND C. & N. W. R. R.: The Clerk then read the following letter: George A. Quinlan Superintendent of Highways 160 Nr -La Salle Street Chicago 1, Illinois Dear Major Quinlan: You referred to the Joint Committee of the Chicago Association of Com- merce and Regional Planning Association the recent request of the City of Des Plaines Docket No. 35785, that the County Highway Department improve Thacker Street from Wolf Road west to the C & N W Railroad with a 36 -foot concrete pavement and curb and gutter. When the County's highway program was under study, the improvement of that portion of Thacker Street was considered by the Joint Committee as a part of a larger section extending from Wolf Road west to Algonquin Road. At that time, the street was being planned by the County for improvement with a black top maca- dam.nave#ent, plans for which had been approved by the City ofDes Plaines. The project was finally recommended for 1945 construction, and we are now informed that the work has beencompleted. Because of the limited funds available to the County for solving a very large volume ?of other traffic problems of the County, it was not possible to schedule in the program all projects requested by local communities or to specify improvements so extensive in scope as might be desired, especially where traffic is relatively light. In the case of Thacker Street it is believed that the pavement just built by the County will adequately serve present and expected traffic for some time to come. But if for local reasons a finished street is felt to be necessary at tit time, the City of Des Plaines, like many other communities, may consider assessment of locally benefited frontage or resort to its share of the State Motor Fuel Tax which can be used to widen, curb and furnish drainage inlets on this street. We return Communication #35785 with this letter. Respectfully submitted, E. A. Rummler, Chairman Joint Committee The Mayor ordered the letter placed on file.
