Attorney Hofert reported regarding Chicago Magnet Wire Company litigation in the Circuit Court of Cook County, he stated there are two men present tonight to report on the "stipulation", Mr. M. Salzenstein and Mr. Kenneth Manaster. Mr. Hofert also stated that this stipulation would bring relief to the Village from air pollution from this source. Mr. Manaster representing the Attorney General ' s Office, State of Illinois stated certain elaborate equipment will be installed by Chicago Magnet Wire Company to eliminate odors. Attorney Scott' s Office has employed technical consultants and the engineering talents of the State Pollution Agencys and are finally convinced that it will work and do the job of substantially eli- minating the odors that have bothered the residents of the Village for so long. The stipulation referred to above will keep the law suit alive until the middle of October. When the stipulation is made official and the company is ordered to go ahead with what it agrees to do the State' s pollution case against the company will be withdrawn, and the Chicago Magnet Wire suit against the Village will be withdrawn. If in the future there should be any problems of any sort we would retain the right to go back into Court once again. There are various detailed provisions requiring the company to report to the Village as the work proceeds on this.
