<br />STREET DEPARTMENT: Mr. Anthony Zrnudzinski, Street Commissioner, was present and matters
<br />pertaining to his department were discussed.
<br />The Clerk of the Board was authorized to re -advertise for a Tractor for the Street
<br />Department, all bias having been recieved as a result of the last advertisement having
<br />I been rejected.
<br />ENGINEERING DEPART1VIENT: Excavation bonds were approved for the Solitt Construction Com-
<br />pany and Ernest Longway. These were ordered filed.
<br />Mr. C11-de '+4illiams, City Engineer,_ presented a copy of a letter written to Mr.
<br />G. A. Farabaugh, Attorney for the New York Central Railroad Company, calling his attenti � n
<br />to the recomr_endations of the TrL-ffic Engineer on signals for the Meade Street crossing,
<br />the Traffic Engineer's report and recommendations were enclosed with the letter.
<br />Mr. 1JUilliams also submitted to the Board a report on the petition for the elimin-
<br />ation_ of a pond between ',dashington and 'Marshall Stre0i6s and 25th and 26th Streets. The
<br />report in part states, ' The area is considerably lower than the established grade of th
<br />abutting streets and would provide an ideal location for a City durip. This would pro-
<br />vide a means of filling the area, as requested by the petitioners. However, the lots
<br />are privately owned and it is doub]-tful that the owners would be interested in this meth
<br />od of filling their property. In addition, it is very lik_e17 to create objections from
<br />neighboring property owners and citizens. Until the propert7r owners in the general
<br />area petition for a trunk sewer on Jefferson Blvd., from 26th Street to Logan Street,
<br />the draining of this area will remain an impossiblity. The trunk sewer that will even-
<br />tually drain this area now terminates at 26th Street on Jefferson Blvd.' A copy of
<br />Mr.- 'dilliams relaort zwas sent to I r. J. IT. 1--`cC2rth77-.
<br />Mr. G. R. Robertson was present at the 1"eetin- to sign the contrL-ct for the repairs
<br />to the Jefferson Street Bridge. The contract was signed by Mr. Robertson and his partne
<br />I!+Ir. Julius Stevens, and their certified check was then returned to them. The clerk of t
<br />Board informed the Board that the other certified checks accompanying bids on the repair
<br />,I had been returned to the unsuccessful bidders.
<br />!� WHEREAS, plats with dedications of streets and alleys indicated thereon, are now pr
<br />,sented to the Board, to be Imown as Southmore Heights and Beacon heights in South Bend,I
<br />AND, these plats and dedications are recorded in Book /,5- , Pages , in the Reci
