<br />INTERCEPTOR SEWER:
<br />Consoer, Townsend & Associates
<br />115.62
<br />First appeared before the Board, Engineer Chas. W. Cole, Jr., representing the
<br />Bendix Aviation Corporation and Engineer Wm. S. Moore, on behalf of Paul D. Hass, in
<br />the matter of the sewer requirements for West Haven Sub -Division. The plan of the
<br />West Haven Sub -Division -engineer., where it is proposed to build immediately one -hundred
<br />and sixty-six houses, is to connect the sewers to be constructed for this sub -division
<br />with the local sewer at the intersection of Ardmore Trail and Sheridan, originally •
<br />built in 1931-32 at a cost of $46,000.00, this entire amount being borne at that time
<br />by the Bendix Aviation Corporation. Engineer Chas. W. Cole , Jr. contends that storm
<br />water from the 40 acres comprising West Haven Sub -Division would overload the sewer at
<br />this intersection and he is protesting on behalf of the Bendix Aviation Corporation,
<br />the proposed sewer connection. After some discussion, the Board made the request that
<br />Engineer Moore submit a formal petition for the construction of the sewer, and Engineer
<br />Chas. W. Cole, Jr. enter a formal remonstrance against this petition. The entire matter
<br />will then be given the Board's careful consideration. It was the consensus of opinion
<br />that the Board's decision in -the matter can be made at the'next regular meeting.
<br />This being the time set, the Board then proceeded with the opening of bids for the •
<br />supplying of one -hundred new parking meters. One bid only was received and this
<br />bid was as follows: M. H. RHODES, INC.
<br />100 - Mark -Time Hurricam Parking Meters @ $46.00 ......$4600.00
<br />Less 5�
<br />It was the consensus of opinion that this bid was satisfactory in all detail and
<br />it was thereupon approved and contract was signed by the Board. The Clerk was directed
<br />to issue the necessary purchase order.
<br />The Board next re -considered the matter of establishing a cabstand in front of the
<br />Oliver Hotel on Main Street, and granted to the Indiana Cab Company a two -cab taxi -stand •
<br />on Main Street at the northwest corner of Main and Washington Streets. The Board furthe
<br />granted the transfer of the one -cab taxi -stand of the United Cab Company from the north-
<br />east corner of Main and Washington.Streets to a one -cab location on the west side of
<br />Main Street, immediately north of the Main Street entrance to the Oliver Hotel.
<br />VACATION RESOLUTION NO. 2740 - 1952 i
<br />This being the date set, hearing was held on the assessment roll showing the award
<br />of damages and the assessment of benefits in the matter of vacation of THE WEST 30

<br />In the above named assessment roll, no remonstrators appeared and no written
<br />•
<br />remonstrances were filed, the Clerk of the Board submitted proofs of publication of

<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 />the proceedings closed, and the portion of the street vacated upon receipt of the amount
<br />of benefit assessments from the various property owners so benefited and all proceedings
