Gentlemen:
With reference to our agreement with you regarding payment
to the school district, we nereby request modification of that
agreement.
Ine letter calls for a payment of ~300.00 per residence
upon tne issuance of certificate of occupancy, or 120 days after
securing a building permit from tne Village of Mt. Prospect.
Our request for modification refers to the time of pciyment of ~he
$300.00. We believe it more equitable to make payment at the time
the house is occupied by the owner, the burden of payment Hould
be lessened, as we are speculative builders and do not receive
our operating monies until just before occupancy.

Modification of the agreement would allow us to maintain
continuity of corstruction, d~ we must do to retain project efficiency
and cost, and put us in a position to make regular payments to the
school district.
~e ~ave contributed the sum of ~1200.00 to ~he scnool district
covering four homes on Blmlmrst Road.
xours very truly,

Gentlemen:
In accordance with your request we have inspected the pumps
l^ihich have been installed in the illannole at the :Ln"Gersection of
lll:Llle and ,aigDland by Brickmdn liome Bu-tlders.
'.lhe se pumps JATere put i1 by the deve loper as a temporary
measure to pump sanitary sewage from the later01 sewer recently
constructed in Wille north of Highland into the existing sewer
in Wille south of rlignland. This was necessary because of tile delay
in obtaining easements for Ghe construction of tne Rand Road-
tlighland {,venue trunk se'Ner to Which the lateral se'Vwr in 'rHlle
2treet and in other streets would be connected.
'Ihere are tv!O (2)'ieil submersible sewage ejectors in the

at a total head of 15 feet and is driven with a one-half horse-power

electrode controls. iDe stand-by pump nas its electrodes set approx-
imately four (4) feet above the primar;y pump. 'l'his ",ould permit "Ghe

of the manhole.

one (1) pump inopera-eive, 67 homes could be satisfactorily served

that the chance of storm water entering this sewer for the next few
