A check of accident <br />reports indicates two accidents occurred at this location up to <br />the middle of September, 1976.

Mr. Farrand made a motion that the report be filed <br />until the equipment is repaired and a complete report can be given. <br />Mr. Brunner asked how soon the report might be expected and Mr. <br />Farrand said in about three weeks. Mr. Brunner said, in view of <br />the interest in this matter, the City might investigate borrowing <br />equipment to complete the stud-,T. Mr. Farrand said other governmental <br />units normally borrow such equipment from the City of South Bend <br />but said lie would look into the matter. Mr. Farrand made a motion <br />that the report be filed and attempts be made to secure equipment <br />so that a complete report could be made in two weeks. Mr. Mullen <br />seconded the motion and it carried. <br />There being no further business to come before the Board, upon <br />motion made by Mr. Farrand, seconded by Mr. Mullen and carried, the <br />meeting adjourned at 10:40 a.m. <br />Rollin E.
