WALNUT AVENUE STORM SEWER: The Deputy Clerk then read the following letter: August 19, 1946 Honotable Mayor and C ity Council Des Plaines, Illinois Gentlemen, I herewith submit to you complete plans and specifications together with a de- tailed cost estimate of what I have called "The Walnut Avenue Storm Sewer". This storm sewer has been designed to serve that area of Des Plaines from the C. & N. W. Railroad south to Algonquin Road and from the Des Plaines River west to the City limits. The eastern half of this area is one of the most densely populated sections of Dea Plaines; the western half is growing rapidly. At the present time there are more than sixty homes under construction in this area and within the next five years more than 500 additional homes will be built. - During the heavy rain storm of several weeks ago many of the basements in this area were flooded. As more homes are built more basements will be flooded. The need for an adequate storm sewer system in Des Plaines is second only to our need for an adequate water supply. This storm sewer will serve, directly or indirectly, more than 3,000 lots. The estimate cost of the sewer is $300,000.00 or approximately 4100.00 per lot. Those lots receiving a direct benefit may be assessed more than those which will re• ceive an indirect benefit. $100.00 is an average cost per lot. As you know, these plans are a part of our Post -War program. Your permis- sion is herewith requested to submit two copies of the plans and specifications to the Illinois Post -War Planning "ommission. Respectfully submitted, (signed) E. N. Fletcher, engineer for Des Plaines
