Sincerely, s/ 'Odessa Earles, Secretary Indiana State Black Caucus The following memo from Clem Hazinski, Manager of the Bureau of Traffic and Lighting, was attached to the above letter; A request from Odessa Earles, Indiana State Black Caucus to "block off" the 600 block of W. LaSalle was received by this Bureau. Because of the time ele- ment involved this memo is attached. 1 called Odessa Earles and informed her that this Bureau would post the 600 block of W. LaSalle on Saturday, June 23, 1973 with No Parking Signs. I recom- mended that an attendant assist in parking the vehicles or that a uniformed police officer be hired to control the parking of vehicles. She was further informed that closing of the 600 block would not only defeat her purpose of having guests gain access but that the Board has a policy of requiring indemnification when a street is closed for purposes such as this. Hence the No Parking signage recommendation. Upon motion made, seconded and carried, the Board approved Mr. Hazinski's recommendation for No Parking signs.
