124 <br />ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT: A Contractor's Bond in the amount of $1,000.00 was received <br />for Charles W. Tulm. This was ordered filed. <br />The following letter was approved by the Board of Public Works: <br />Honorable Mayor and October 9, 1943 <br />Members of the Common Council <br />South Bend, Indiana <br />Gentlemen: <br />Undoubtedly you have noticed the deck over the east,arch of the Jefferson <br />Street bridge. The deck has settled considerably and indicates that the bridge <br />has settled. <br />We have maintained a constant watch over this bridge during the last five <br />years, and instrument readings on the underneath side of the arch, do not indicate <br />a variation other than that normally expected due to temperature changes. <br />However, recently indications are such that undue stress is being placed <br />on the steel in the arch and some of the angle irons are sheered off. This does <br />not mean that there is immediate danger, but with the contraction that can be <br />expected, due to colder weather, the arch may drop to a point where It is dangerous. <br />To safeguard against such a condition, we are preparing plans for a <br />support under the center of this arch. <br />These plans are not sufficiently complete at this time for contractors <br />to estimate the cost of the construction. Since an ordinance for the transfer of fu ds <br />from the Bridge Repair Fund to the Building Maintenance Fund is to be considered, <br />we felt that this matter should be called to your attention. <br />Until the cost of the bridge repair is determined, it might be advisable <br />to withhold action on the transfer ordinance, or consider a transfer from some <br />other source. <br />A fairly close estimate should be available within two weeks. <br />Very truly yours, <br />Clyde E. Williams, <br />City Civil Engineer. <br />CEMETARY DEPARTMENT: Mr. Stanley Leszczynski, Sexton, was present and matters per- <br />taining to his.department were discussed. <br />The City Hall will be'closed Tuesday, October 12, 1943, Columbus.'Day. <br />There being no further business to come before the Board the meeting was adjourn <br />at 10:00 A.M. <br />- zeAtzl_�� <br />ATTEST: <br />Clerk <br />BOARD 0jtFUBLIC WGRK <br />MEETING - OCTOBER 18, 1943 <br />A regular meeting of the Board of Public Works was held on Monday, October 18, 1943 <br />at 9:00 A.M.
