The minutes <br />of the previous meeting were reviewed and approved. <br />FIRE DEPARTMENT <br />Chief Bland appeared before the Board and matters pertaining to his <br />department were discussed. <br />Chief Bland presented the following letter: <br />February 4, 1972 <br />Board of Public Works and Safety <br />13th Floor, County City Building <br />South Bend, Indiana <br />Honorable Board Members: <br />At the present time, the South Bend Fire Department is in the process <br />of collecting the old Gamewell Fire Alarm Boxes, which number approximately <br />400. Also being collected is a two hundred sixty-five (265) mile copper <br />cable. These boxes as well as the copper cable need to be disposed of as <br />soon as collection is complete. We anticipate completion by the ist of <br />June, 1972. <br />The purchase price of each of these boxes was listed at Two Hundred Ten <br />(210) Dollars, and Three Hundred Fifty Dollars ($350.00) for each <br />Master box. Some of these boxes have been sold at Eight -five Dollars <br />($85.00) each by the previous administration. We feel that this is not <br />adequate compensation for these boxes. The sale price of each of these <br />boxes, however, will depend on the condition of each individual box. <br />At your earliest convenience, we would appreciate your investigating <br />possible procedures for disposition of these boxes and the cable. Your <br />prompt attention would be greatly appreciated. <br />Thanking you in advance for your anticipated courtesy and cooperation <br />in this matter, I remain <br />Respectfully yours, <br />SOUTH BEND FIRE DEPARTMENT <br />s/ Jack R.
