Inasmuch as the storm sewer has been oversized To comply with The Waller Creek Drainage District's plans for The drainage of a large area south and west of This subd~vz- sion, it is our belief That we should be ~eimbursed for the excess cost of The larger pipe when drainage struc- Tures for The area outside our subdivision are connected :o it.

Waterhouse) 1425 Birch Drive, Mount Prospect Architectural President Schlaver read the following letter of resigna- Committee - tion from Mike Mokate: Mike Mokate April 22, 1965 Honorable Clarence O. Schlgver President, Village of Mount Prospect Dear Mr. Schlaver: It has been a pleasure to serve the Village of Mount Prospect on the Architectural Commission during your administra- tion. However, I have no desire to continue in this capacity beyond your term of office for reasons which you well understand. Therefore, I am submitting my resignation toyou effective Tuesday, May ~ and hope that this will be accepted. With all good wishes. Sincerely, G~ Michael Mokate President Schlaver read the following letter from Attorney Attorney Hofert Edward C. Hofert: Resignation April 27, 1965 President and Board of T~ustees Village of Mount Prospect Gentlemen: ~IN RE: POSTOF ¥ILLA~E ATTORNEY Please be advised that effective May 4, 1965, I resign as Village Attorney of Mount Prospect. I submit this resignation so as to permit the newly elected President and Board of Trustees to select legal consul of their own choice. I thank the Village, Mr. Schlaver and the trustees, for whom I have served, for the oppo~tunlty to render service. Sincerely, Edward C. H~fert President Schlaver President Schlaver read statement as follows: When you are run over by a steam roller you are not in a very good position to either laugh or cry. I don't intend to do either tonight. But I do want to thank Village Manager, Harold Appleby, department heads and village personnel who have worked loyally with me in the four years of Mount Prospect's greatest growth and p~ogress. I Want to thank those retiring members of the Village Board - Bill Phillips, George R..Busse and William Casterllne who have given largely of time, energy and good counsel as tmustees and who, like met are now returning to normal business, professtional and personal life. To those who remain on this board - Parker Ekren, Harry Bruhl and Frank Bergen - go my earnest wishes for fruitful endeavor. April 27, 1965 ?/7 .. ,.. To members of the library board, plan commission, zoning board of appeals, and other boards who have helped during my administration go my sincera thanks. .I have valued the devotion to law and the best interest of the village display~d by my counselior Ed Hofert, who in the past four years has undoubtedly worked harder than any Mount P~ospect village attorney, often inthe defense of hopeless legal causes. Likewise I have treasured the painstaking work of Village Clerk, Ruth Wilson, possessed of many of the same village- devotion qualities of her late husband and t~ustee, Howard Wilson. Ail ofus who will be leaving quietly andwithout comment next Tuesdaynight have, I believe, enjoyed working for the good of the village in which we reside. The legacy of good government left behind may some day be evaluated more high~ than in the emotional days during and after an election. Thus, there are no regrets. C. O.
