ORDER OF THE BOARD

(BY SAMUEL

T. LAWTON, JR.):

A

citizens~complaint was filed by Mr. and

Mrs.

Raymond E.

Donaldson on October 17,

1972

against the City of Elmhurst, alleging

that as

a consequence of inadequate sewer facilities, sewage was

settling in basements

in private homes and toilet facilities were

rendered unusable.

While the complaint is somewhat meager as to

specificity

of

violation,

the

details

on

which

the

violations

ax’e

asserted

can

be

determined

through

pre-trial

discovery,

and

undoubtedly

will be amplified at the hearing.

We conclude

that the complaint

is neither duplicitious nor frivo-

bus

and,

accordingly,

direct

that

the

matter

be

set

for

hearing.

IT

IS

SO

ORDERED.

I,

Christan
