The Bid for the Police Department for one (1) desk model Deceptograph is hereby a- warded to Midwest Fire & Safety Company for the total price of $1,700.00. The time now being after 10:00 A.M. it was so announced and the bids for the Police Department were opened and read aloud. Proofs of publication in the South Bend Tribune with an affidavit signed by Robert DeLong and in the Record with an affidavit signed by Ruby McMahon were submitted to the Board and found sufficient. The Board now being informed that there were no bids received for the Motorcycle, the Clerk is therefore directed to investigate the possibility of purchasing the equipment. Comes now John Grabarz of the Building Department and informs the Board that pursuant to hearing reference to structure located at 7282 N. Blaine and also 123 S. Dundee St. that the owners were given the option to either demolish or repair said structures and in both cases the owners did not see fit to repair the structures, therefore demolition of both has been completed. The Board hereby approves and accepts the decision of the Board members to grant Michael J. Jackey a monthly disability pension of $231.36 or 55% of a fully paid first class firemen's salary governed by the provisions of the pension laws and upon recommendation of J. Paul English, medical examiner, whose physical findings were to the effect that Jackey's incapacitation would forestall him from performing the vigorous duties indi- dent to the fire service. This pension will become effective June 16, 1959. There being no further business to come before the Board, the meeting was adjourned at 10:45 A.M.
