<br />Mr. Clifton L. Kinch first appeared before the Board in the matter of Vacation
<br />Resolution No. 2740, remonstrating against the vacating of the area involved, as
<br />representing a piece of the very limited river frontage under control of the City,
<br />and pointing out the interest of a considerable number of our citizens in river sports,
<br />citing the Izaak Walton League and out -board motor enthusiasts. Councilman Walter
<br />C. Erler, being present, stated that in his opinion the City "cannot have too much
<br />access to the river". The Board also took note of a letter addressed to the Board
<br />from the Department of Public Parks, stating the vietnrpoint of their Board in this
<br />matter that this property should be retained in City o�,rnership. The matter of a
<br />franchise held by the Indiana & Michigan Electric Company,in regard to overhead power
<br />transmission lines and an H-frame erected on this property,also received some discussion
<br />and the entire matter was taken under further advisement, decision to be deferred until
<br />one week from this date.
<br />The Board next took up the matter of curtailed bus service on Angela Boulevard and
<br />read the report in this matter, submitted by the Northern Indiana Transit, Inc., wherein
<br />they propose to restore thirty minute service on the Angela line from 6:00 P. M. to
<br />9:10 P. M. on`Tv°onday nights only, commencing this date, and showing cause for their
<br />inability to render this service,other than Monday night, due to lack of patronage.
<br />VACATION RESOLUTION NO. 2737 - 1952
<br />This being the date set, hearing was held on the assessment roll showing the award li
<br />of damages and the assessment of benefits in the matter of vacation of CARROLL STREET �.
<br />from the south line of Farneman Avenue, thence southerly along said Carroll Street a
<br />distance of 81.6 feet more or less, being the termination of said Carroll Street in
<br />said locality, under Vacation Resolution No. 2737. !
<br />In the above named assessment roll, no remonstrators appeared and no written
<br />• remonstrances were filed, the Clerk of the Board submitted proofs of publication of
<br />notices and same were found sufficient, and the Board, therefore, finds that the several
<br />lots and parcels of land,have been benefited and damaged in the amounts shown on said
<br />roll. The Board, therefore, decided to take final action on said assessment roll and
<br />declares sar.,qe in all things ratifi c 1, confirmed and approved without modification and
<br />the proceedings closed, and the portion of Carroll Street vacated upon receipt of the
<br />amount of benefit assessments from the various property owners so benefited and all
<br />proceedings had with reference to said street vacation are hereby sustained. 1
