cj�_ 4 S 9/5/72 140 North Shore Drive The matter of the sub standard condition of the structure at 140 North Shore Drive having been continued till this date, comes now, Frank Henningfeld who states he is trying to purchase the property and will bring it up to standard. The matter was continued to September 11, 1972 PAINTING OF FIRE HYDRANTS Mrs. Ruth VonKarowski, 407 West Navarre Street, South Bend, Indiana, appeared before the Board to state she meant no disrespect inpainting the fire hydrant in front of her home red,white and blue. She feels that the added color would not only make the hydrants more visible and easier to find in case of a fire, but thinks it would dress u the city. Mrs. Janet Allen also, appeared before the Board to state she Thought painting the fire hydrants would be a good idea. The Fire Chief was asked about his comments and said he was not sure about the law. He stressed the fact that the colors must be uniform and all hydrants painted exactly the same. The Board expressed appreciation to Mrs. VonKarowski for bringing the matter to their attention. They will take the matter under advisement and see if it can be implemented to satisfy all of the concerned parties. It will take a lot of thought and the keyword is uniformity. They will leave the one hydrant painted as it is at this time , but they might have to change it if it becomes feasible.
