Gentlemen:
At the Safety Council meeting held January 14th, a guggestion was made
to have two (2) flood lights placed in the vicinity of Ellinwood and Center Streets,
so that the lights will illuminate both streets at that corner.
This is a safety measure for the officer on duty directing,traffic at
that corner, as it is very dark and is hard for the pedestrians and motorists to see
the officer.
The only light the offier has is his flash light and at times the motorists
fail to see that.
Kindly give this matter your immediate attention, advising
Yours truly,

HAROLD J. AHBE. CITY TREASURER'S LETTER ON FORECLOSURES: The City Clerk
then read the following letter:
January 20, 1947
Honorable Mayor and City Counchil
City of Des Plaines, Illinois
Gentlemen:
During the past year the number of requests to foreclose the special
assessments on various properties in suburban Cook County has increased. Apparektly,
you will be called upon to permit similar special assessment foreclosures, wherein
only a few lots are concerned.
In view of this, I would like to recommend that an ordinance be drawn
and passed which would affect certain past -due warrants. For example, when a request
is made to foreclose on one or two lots, and the special assessment warrants af- .
fected have no outstanding unpaid bonds, an agreement should be. made with the party
requesting the foreclosure to make a flat settlement of a certaih percentage of the
principal amount due, thus eliminating a foreclosure on that particular warrant which
would simplify matters for all concerned. This would apply only in cases where the
bonds have been paid in full by former treasurers, when the funds actually should
have been pro -rated.
The fact that certain installments on the City's special assessment cash
book show these installments to be in the red should not be an incentive to permit
foreclosures with a Oinimum bid of ten or fifteen per cent. This will give the City
a chance to obtain some of the money which was overpaid on the bonds which wore
paid in full and therefore, enable payments to be made on bonds that actually have
money due them and avert any unnecessary judgment suits.
I trust this request will be given your consideration.
Yours ttuly,
HJA/tal (signed) Harold J. Lxhbe, City Treasurer
The Mayor referred the letter to the City Attorney to prepare an ordinance.
