3_: 1 6/26/72 .tune 23, 1972 Board of Public Works and Safety City of South Bend Gentlemen: We respectfully request permission to position and use as a temporary office, a modular mobile office on our warehouse property at 334 South Notre Dame Avenue. We have in process plans to add to and modernize our warehouse building, which will include a permanent office. 'This temporary structure is required for the following reasons: 1. Our present facility is an ancient structure which is almost impossible to heat, not originally intended for an office, and is in dis-repair from ageing. We anticipate tearing this structure down if this permit is granted. 2. We are presently under negotiations with the Grand Trunk Railroad to purchase this property which we now lease. Details probably will run several months. We cannot begin our con- struction until this is closed and by then would not be able to effect occupancy by winter. We will need this temporary office to operate through the winter, because of the above reasons, and feel arrangements should be made now so that we do not get help up during our busy season. We intend on setting this structure on blocks and skirting for appearance,and heat, control. It is my desire to request this permit for up to a year which should be sufficient time for our negotiations and subsequent construction. Please give this proposal your favorable recommendation. Yours truly, s/ Walter F. Lehmann, President Upon motion made, seconded and carried, this was referred to the Building Department for investigation and report..

We conducted these services in Saginaw, Michigan and as a result people were reached that never attencded church. These were people who came in off the street, 40 of whom became regular church attenders. I feel that this type of service would be very beneficial in the South Bend area and I would appreciate your granting -permission for this. The measurements of the tent are 60 by 75, and I would like to set it up on one of the vacant lots between Camden and Liberty Streets, on the corner at Washington, conducting services from July 16th through July 29th, evenings from 8:00 P.M, until about 10:30 P.M. would very much appreciate your attention in this matter, for I feel
