<br />any and all citizens having matters to transact
<br />or bring before the Board. The period

<br />Board of Public Works and the Board of County Commissioners, was next read and examined..'
<br />The agreement, dedicating for street purposes a 30-foot strip of land off the entire
<br />east side of Veterans' Memorial Park, and conveying to the City of South Bend the real
<br />estate now comprising-Pottawatomi Park in fee simple, was found to be satifactory and

<br />VACATION RESOLUTION NO. 2754 - 1953

<br />the Board of Public Works for the vacation of STREETS AND UTILITY EASEMENTS IN THE

<br />EXCEPTING SUCH PORTIONS OF SAMPLE STREET AND MAYFLOWER ROAD AS MAY LIE WITHIN THE
<br />BOUNDARIES OF SAID PLAT under Vacation Resolution No. 2754•
<br />The Clerk of the Board having shown sufficient proofs of publication and no
<br />remonstrators having appeared and no written remonstrances having been filed with the
<br />Clerk, it was moved, seconded and unanimously carried that the said resolution be
<br />finally adopted and the streets and easements be vacated. The Engineering Department
<br />is directed to prepare an assessment roll covering the assessment of benefits and the
<br />award of damages to the surrounding properties.
<br />• R. S. Andrysiak, City Engineer, filed primary assessment roll showing the awards
<br />of damages and the assessments of benefits in the matter of the vacation of STREETS
<br />AND UTILITY EASEMENTS IN THE RECORDED PLAT OF BELLEVILLE UNIT !rD", an ADDITION TO THE
<br />CITY OF SOUTH BEND, INDIANA, EXCEPTING SUCH PROTIONS OF SAMPLE STREET AND MAYFLOWER
<br />ROAD AS MAY LIE WITHIN THE BOUNDARIES OF SAID PLAT.
<br />In the above named assessment roll, the Board hereby orders that it will meet
<br />in the City Hall at 10:00 A. M. CST on the 22nd of June 1953, for the purpose of hearing'
<br />and receiving remonstrances from all persons interested in or affected by said vacation,'

<br />in the South Bend Tribune and the Tri-County News.
<br />A Construction Order submitted by the Northern Indiana Public Service Company,
<br />under date of May 20th, illustrating a proposed extension of gas main on Sample Street,
<br />along the north side of the street, connecting with the existing main approximately
<br />200 feet east of Wellington Street and terminating at Albert Street, was examined and
<br />approved.
<br />STREET DEPARTMENT:
<br />Street Commissioner, Harry PII. Tomlinson, being present, brought to the attention
<br />• of the Board, the urgency for the removal of the steel rails, and possibly steel ties,
<br />at the intersection of Westmoor and Bendix Drive, where the Bendix Aviation Corporation
<br />and the City Traffic Engineer desire to install a channelization island 3t the earliest
<br />possible date. It was considered probable that this intersection and the additional
<br />steel rails to be removed from these streets would produce a total of more than 700
<br />tons of steel, and that the salvaging of this steel and replacement of the street
<br />paving could probably be accomplished expeditiously and profitably for the City, through
<br />a private contractor. in view of the estimated amount of the salvage material involved
<br />and the eoonomy of handling the entire pavement job, rather than the intersection of
<br />Westmoor and Bendix Drive only, the Board placed the matter in the hands of the City
<br />Attorney to be presented to the Common Council for its approval, before proceeding
<br />with the required legal advertising.
<br />• The status of the dust arrester for the asphalt plant was also given further
<br />consideration and, it was pointed out, its delivery and installation can only be
