Mr. A, A. Rhomberg,
City Manager, City Hall

Re: Ordinance for I. C. Track to
serve property of Marmis & Solo-
llloll,
Dear NIr Rhomberg: In order
that the City Council may have
further information with reference
to the use proposed to be made of
the property to be served lly this
proposed railroad track, we submit
the following information on behalf
of our client Marmis & Solomon.
This property will be fenced in
but will be without any roof, It is
the plan of Marmis & Solomon to
~cse this property for the storage of
structural steel. It ~is mot planned
to use this propel°ty for junk yard
purposes but to be used exclusive-
ly for the storage and handling of
structural steel. In the future it is
very likely that a warehouse build-
ing will be constructed on this prop-
erty. However, no definite time has
been set for the doing of this work.
It is the plan of Marmis & Solo-
mon to locate the metal baling
plant on property owned by them
south of the location to be served
by the new track and will be used
in connection with the present
junk business now being conducted
by Marmis & Solomon.
~~, As you know, this area is zoned
as au industrial district and the
use of the property to be served by
the track for' structural steel pur-
poses will not be in violation of the
zoning ordluance.
We trust this information will be
helpful to the Council in reaching
290 P~egular Session, October 6th, 1947
a: favorable conclusion with refer-
ence to the proposed Illinois Cen-
tral spur track,
Very, truly yours,
