McKay 334 Oxford Street Hes Plaines, Illinois. Dear. Sam: In behalf of the 'timberland Terrace Civic Club, I wish to thank you and any other members or employees of the City government of Des Plaines concerned, for the new lights which were installed along the path'leading from the `'timberland Railroad station to the corner of Golf and 'golf Roads. The presence of these lights is greatly appreciated by all of us who use the Chicago and Northwestern and come home late at night. We feel that they are not only a convenience but that they are actually a useful safety measure in the control of possible accidents in that area. To the best of our knowledge there are now only two corners in the sub- division which do not have street lights. One of these is at the corner of War- rington and Washington where three new houses now are being built. The other is at the western end of 'ashington Street which has not needed lights before this, but where also a group of houses are being built, and where the need will exist when the houses are finished. We believe that the present greatly improved relationships between the residents of Cumberland Terrace as represented by the Civic Club and the city govern- ment of Des Plaines will be of great mutual benefit to both, and w4 hope that they may continue. Yours very truly, HK:BJ (si/igned) Herman Kerst, Jr., President Alderman McKay made the motion and it was seconded by Campagna to refer the letter to the Streets Committee. The motion was voted upon by acclamation whereupon the Mayor declared the motion carried. 479 480 (MINUTES CONT'D.)
