WEBER ADDRESSING MACH. CO.
September 16, 1954
Honorable Theodore Lams
President
Village of Mt. Prospect
Village Hall
Mt. Prospect, I11.
Dear Mayor:
As per our conversation of some time ago, we discussed
the possibility of arranging to charge the property holders
adjacent to my new subdivision for sewer and water should
they at a later date decide to connect to the sewer and water
I am putting in at my expense.
As I understand it, other villages such as Arlington Heights
have a system whereby the builder of sewer and water notifies
the village of the cost when it is put in. Then at alater date
if anyone applies for a building permit, the Village Clerk
can notify the prospective builder of the cost for attaching
to the sewer or water which has been installed by someone else.
If this information is correct, . I would certainly apprec-
iate hearing from you about it.
Thank you kindly for your consideration.
Sincerely yours,
(signed) Joseph Weber
