Members of the Village Board
Village of Mt. Prospect, Ill.
We the undersigned being owners of barber shops in
Mt. Prospect wish to go on record as being opposed
to the nel,\T increase to $10.00 per chair on the
barber chairs in Mt. Prospect.
We feel that 4nO.00 pel' chair is too high in com-
parison wi th other license fees in the Village, and
wi th barber license fees in the surrounding area.
Arlingtonl s license fe'e for barbers is iW5.00 per
chair, and Palatine1s $15.00 per shop regardless of
the nUlnber of chairs.
A1ATaiting your consideration and reply in tlds matter
vJe remain,
Respectfully yours,

Village of MO'lmt Prospect
Building Department
Gentlemen.:
~Ji th respect to tbe attached .alan for tl--:le remodeliniZ
of the store fron~ for Geisle; Shoe Store, 25 w. ~
Prospect Ave., I have been advised by your
July 16s 1957
318
Architectural Soard that the Village Code requires that the
entrance door swing out.
In this particular case however, I respectfully request that
an exception be made based on the follo11ine; reasons:
1. 'I'his is simply a relocation of the existing door - an
expensive aluminUli] door - 'which, at the time it Has incor-
porated i.n the presen t store front when this building Has
buil t a feH years ago, lrJas permi tted to sHing in.
2. Turning the door and frame around to Dermi tit to swing
out T"j'ould make it aWkl'\Tard to enter store .".
3. The pI'esent ah.1J11inuyn screen door would have to open in,
tr1is rnakij:1g a hazardous condi tioYt 'wh.en th_e entrance door
stands open.
l.~" The only proper solution 1--JOuld be a completely neH door
and fra.me which at the present cost of approximately ~d50. 00
would work an undue hardship on Mr. Geisler, the store owner.
'"
,./.
The other stores in this building all have inswinging doors.
6. The fire hazard is not as great in a modern fire-proof
building as this, nor is tb.'3re ever the volmue of people in
a store like this such as would be the case in a drug store,
a tvern, etc.
For these reasons I again respectfully request that it be
permitted to move the door to its new location in the store
front - that is - to swing in.
Thanking you for your kind consideration, I remain,
Sincer'ely,
PE'I'lmSON S rl'ORE FRON'I'S
