<br />The Board next read and considered letters from several local industrial concerns,
<br />'namely, Drewry's Limited, U.S.A. Inc., Kuert Concrete, Inc., The Oliver Corporation,
<br />''Roach -Appleton -Mfg. Co., South Bend Toy Mfg. Co., and Ward Baking Company, all relative
<br />to the metering of water for the purpose of sewage disposal billing. It was the decision
<br />,of the Board to allow an adjustment of charges, where an overcharge may have been made,
<br />after three months of charges based on actual metered gallonage had been made, whereby
<br />an average gallonage could be reasonably established, and the Board directed that these
<br />firms be so advised.
<br />It was brought to the attention of the Board that an unsightly appearance of the
<br />river bank at a certain location was commented upon by guests of the Mayor's Sewage
<br />Treatment Plant Inspection Tour, conducted Thursday, July 29th. The Board -directed
<br />that property owners involved be notified to remove the rubbish and rubble creating
<br />this condition.
<br />Then appeared before the Board, Mr. Frank Andrysiak, 1520 Ford Street, with a
<br />complaint against the G.T. W. Railway, because of a practice of "parking" one of their
<br />diesel locomotives close to his home for a period of hours daily, thereby creating a
<br />nuisance from the standpoint of noise, as well as from the fumes of its diesel fuel.
<br />The Board informed Mr. Andrysiak that the railroad company would be notified of this
<br />situation and they would undoubtedly put into effect some measure of relief.
<br />The Board then heard and approved of the agreement negotiated between the City
<br />Engineer, and G. W. Falcon, marine contractor, for the use of James B. Clow & Sons
<br />Company's new river crossing pipe for the three river crossing sites, as follows:
<br />• #1 Playland Park
<br />#2 Sample Street
<br />#3 Monroe and Edgewater Drive
<br />This agreement was negotiated for the additional sum of $11,313.00, and applies
<br />to Contract 6.:A River Crossings.
<br />The Board then gave further consideration to application and affidavit of John L.
<br />Detzler for taxicab license, and in view of the fact that this does not represent any
<br />increase in the number of licensed cabs, because of Detzler's intended purchase of
<br />cab currently owned and operated by Fred Hartman, the Board -approved the issuing of
<br />license to John L. Detzler, and the City Controller was so advised. In granting the
<br />• license, it was stipulated that License No. 54, presently held by Fred Hartman, is to
<br />be surrendered to the City Controller at the time of the issuing of license to John
<br />L. Detzler.
