aRe: Hillside-E. Main Sidewalks

MFT Section 26-CS

Dear John:

We have read with interest your report to the Village Board ofNovember 8, 1965 relative to the sidewalk improvements in HillsideAve. and East Main St. Although the report's subject is "Statement ofPosition by Village President Blanke on Signing Specification Documentsfor Project 26-CS," the majority of the items contained therein haveno connection with this project at all. These comments refer tosituations which exist at various locations in the Village and deal withconsideration of Village policy and have no relationship with mattersof engineering judgment or performance. Similarly, no relationshipexists between these subjects and the improvements on which we wereauthorized by the Village Board to perform engineering services.

Remaining items which refer to engineering aspects of thisparticular project were of such little significance that little would begained by reciting them here. Past correspondence from us relativeto the submission of estimates of cost, submittal of plans to the VillageBoard, contacts with the Chicago & North Western Railway relativeto the crossing at Hillside Ave. , etc. , are available in the file to pro-vide all the necessary background for this project. Commentsconcerning the index map on the cover sheet of the plans and criticismof us for the omission of the estimate of cost in the specificationbooklet, which, in fact, is specifically prohibited under new Staterequirements, are of minimal significance.

We have become aware of an apparent difference in opinionbetween you and the members of the Village Board relative to thisproject and it, therefore, appears to us that your report was intendedto embarrass the Village Board by leveling unjustified criticism of ourfirm for the services which we have rendered on this project.

William W. ownsend

Mr. John H. D. Blanke November 24, 1965Page 2

The decision on financing of any public works improvement beinga matter of Village policy rests, of course, with the governing body ofthe municipality. The Village Board has, by past action, made adecision on the means of financing of this project and after deciding onthe scope of the work to be done authorized us to proceed with thenecessary engineering services. This we have done to the best of ourability. It is extremely distressing to us to be made "a victim ofcircumstances" by being the recipients of public criticism when yourapparent differences on this project are, in fact, with the Village Board.

Very truly yours,

Seven of the eleven panels created by this console complex will beblank. Of the four remaining panels, one will be pre-punched to accept48 switch/light elements for burglar and fire alarms.
