T Ie Clerk then read the following letter: - Maloney, 11..oster & Whitesj.de, 1 North LaSalle Street Chicago., Illinois. December 1, 1931. Gentlemen: Confirming our telephone conversation of today) I beg to advise that Mr. Milburn has no objections to your pro- ceeding with the withdrawal from sales of the property com- monly known as Cumberland Sub -Division in Des Plaines, Illinois. The contractors and sub -dividers are about to make an ,agreement relative to the payment of assessments which we are hopeful will be consummated and it is desired to save the property owners all the costs possible. H.P, .C.?is Very truly yours, Holland M. Cassidy The Motion was made by Alderman ` ettin and seconded by Ahbe to instruct Attormsy Maloney to withdraw from collection, the 193. assessments of the Cumberland Subdivision. The roll was called on the motion with the following result: Ayes; Aldermen; Ahbe, Collet, Suster,Pflughaupt, Kinder, Lacey, Wettinand Enzenbacher. Mays; None. The Mayor thereupon declared the motion carried. The Clerk then read the following letter: 'Hon. Mayor & Alderman of the City of Des Plaines, Illinois. Gentlemen:7It has come to our attention that the Park Board of the City of Des Plaines has requested the City Council to pass an ordinance turning -over to the Park Board the saxnfl tri- angular park just south of Cumberland Park, also the park in the center of the circle of the junction of Wolf -Golf Roads, State Street and Broadway. So far as we can ascertain. at tje to,e ttj ese streets were dedicated there was no provision made for parks in either place, and while both of these samll plots have been land- scaped to a certain extentfor the purpose of beautifying she district, they were originally constructed to divide traffic, rather than to be used as a park. We believe that they should remain under the control of the City of Des Plaines as a street, dedicated for use and benefit of the public, as such. The large circle at the intersection of Wolf -Golf Roads was dedicated as a part of the State Highway, and is, therefore, all the more reason why it should not be turned over to the Park Board. November 20th, 1931. Insofar as'the maintenance by the Park -Goard is con- cerned. we believe that this can be overcome without the pro- cess of dedicating and turning over from the City of Des Plaines. If it cannot be overcome and the maintenance by the Park Board of these two small plots would have to be discontinued, w,e will be more than pleased to maintain them ourselves, but under no circumstances can we acquiesce to the proposition @f turn- ing these two plots over to the P_ark Board. Yours very truly, CUMBERLAND MMNTENANCE CORP. AUG. F. SCHROEDER President. The M yor instructed the Clerk to write Mr. Schroeder urging the Cumberland Maintenance Corporation to enter into an agreement for main- tenance with the Des Pk !nes Park District. The Clerk then read a letter from Johnson's Electric Shop calling the Councils attention to the Street Christmas lighting, and expressing willingness to go ahead with the work provided the City will bear its share of the expense. The motion was made by Alderman Ahbe and seconded by Wettin to refer the !natter to the Streets and Sidewalks Committee, and the Finance Committee jointly with Power to act. The motion was voted upon by acclamation whereupon the Mayor declared the motion carried. The Clerk then read the following: - R E S O L U T I O I WHEREAS, an emergency exists in man, of the homes in the City, of Des Plaines, due to the long period of unemployment of many of the heads of families, and that these conditions have brought great distress and actual want into the homes of many worthy families in our community, And Whereas, there appears to be'no immediate ,• prospect of improvement in general' conditions with respect to opportunities far employment, and • WHEREAS, all employees ofCity of Des Plaines have been kept in their positions in regular em- • ployment at full time to this date', and .
