OPINION AND ORDER OF

TIlE BOARD

(by Mr. Henss)

On July

31,

1973 Skokie Truck Repair filed a petition for

variance to allow connection of

a new sanitary sewer to an

existing sewer line.

Petitioner alleged that a septic system

servicing its business was no longer operable and that the con~

nection was necessary if the business was to continue to operate.

The petition was inadequate in that it failed to state the

number of employees at the business site,

the estimated quantity

of

sewage

to

be

discharged

through

the

proposed

connection

and

the

name of the sewage treatment plant to which the sewage would

flow,

On August 9,

1973 this Board ordered Petitioner

to supply

this additional information within

35 days.

Petitioner has failed to provide the additional information

and,

in fact,

has not responded to our Order in any manner.

Since the petition is inadequate and there has been a failure

to

comply with the Board Order or to otherwise prosecute the case,

we are compelled to dismiss the petition without prejudice.

The petition for variance is hereby dismissed without prejudice.
