<br />In further reference to the letter of G. H. Frank, General Agent, New York Central
<br />'System, dated February 2b, 1954, addressed to City Engineer, R. S. Andrysiak, with
<br />reference to unloading facilities for materials shipped in by rail for use in connection
<br />with the Sewage Disposal Plant construction; the Board prepared and signed a.response.,
<br />copy of which is to be supplied the general contractor, Sollitt Construction Company
<br />The Clerk was directed to refer the entire file, with four copies for signatures, to
<br />the Board of Park Commissioners for their consideration and approval, inasmuch as the
<br />facilities available involve also a portion of Brownfield Park under the jurisdiction
<br />of the Park Commissioners.
<br />The Board next considered a drawing presented by Robert L. Huff, Director of Planning,
<br />for the installation of a hedge for the parking lot adjoining the City Hall to the south.1
<br />`This parking lot, being under the jurisdiction of the Water Works, the matter was referred
<br />to the Board of Water Commissioners, and drawing was placed in the custody of James A.
<br />Bickel, Chairman of the Board of Water Commissioners.
<br />The Board then considered a communication from the City Plan Commission, suggesting
<br />the preparation of an ordinance for the control of planting trees between sidewalk and
<br />curb along minor residental streets in new subdivisions. It was the consensus of opinio
<br />that such an ordinance would be highly beneficial from the angle of reduction of main-
<br />tenance costs, and the City Attorney was instructed to prepare a suitable ordinance
<br />accordingly.
<br />A letter was received from the City Plan Commission recommending the vacation of
<br />streets, alleyways and easements, all in Edison Park Addition to the City of South Bend,
<br />and this was referred to the Engineering Department for further investigation and report.
<br />The Board then considered a letter received from the law firm of Anderson and
<br />Wattles, under date of February 22, 1954, clarifying the status of a piece of property
<br />for which vacation is requested on the petition of Jean C. and Joseph O'Meara. The status
<br />of this strip of land is now found to be as follows:
<br />"Also a strip of land laying between said lots 118 and 119, dedicated
<br />.in said plat for the public use of an alley, and vacated by action
<br />of the Board of County Commissioners excepting and reserving from the
<br />foregoing grant a strip of land fourteen(14) feet in width off of the
<br />north side of said lot Numbered 118, which is hereby dedicated to the
<br />public use for an alley."
<br />VACATION RESOLUTION NO. 2772 - 1954
<br />RESOLVED BY THE BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS AND SAFETY OF THE CITY OF SOUTH BEND, INDIANA,
<br />That it is desirable to vacate the following:
<br />ALLEY SOUTH OF PLEASANT STREET FROM 25th STREET EAST
<br />TO THE WEST LINE OF THE ALLEY EAST OF 25th STREET.
<br />ALLEY LIES BETWEEN LOTS NUMBERED 118 and,119 ORIGINAL
<br />PLAT OF RIVER PARK.
<br />The following property may be injuriously or beneficially affected by such vacation:
<br />Lots numbered 118 and 119 Original Plat of River Park.
<br />. Notice of this resolution shall be published on the 12th day of March and on the
<br />19th day of March, 1954, in the South Bend Tribune and Tri-County News.
<br />This Board, at its office in the City Hall on the 29th day of March 1954 at 11:00
