<br />Next appeared before the Board Mr. T. E. Kuntz and took up with the Board the Bowman
<br />Creek flood situation, staing that the creek has overflowed its banks in the vicinity
<br />of Ewing Avenue three times within the past year and a half. Mr. Kuntz also stated
<br />that in his opinion, periodic flood conditions will continue to prevail until the
<br />channel underneath the bridge on Main Street is deepened to handle the increased volume
<br />of water. The Board then called upon Street Commissioner, H. M. Tomlinson, in this
<br />matter, who stated this project, including the deepening of the channel, is to be
<br />undertaken by his department as soon as the present flood recedes. The Board then
<br />informed Mr. Kuntz that the project is, accordingly, on the agenda and will be followed
<br />1; up effectively.
<br />STREET DEPARTMENT:
<br />I
<br />Street Commissioner, H. M. Tomlinson, being present, asked permission of the Board to
<br />j•;build up a stockpile of sand and salt mixed in readiness for the ice and sleet conditions'
<br />;
<br />i,of winter. The Commissioner pointed out that this mixture has been used very effectively
<br />iby the State Highway Department on streets under their jurisdiction. Permission was
<br />11 granted the Commissioner to establish this stockpile. It was the understanding, however,;
<br />it that "straight salt" is to be continued for the downtown streets.
<br />TRAFFIC ENGINEER:
<br />Traffic Engineer, E..H. Miller, being present, informed the Board of his success,
<br />in cooperation with Mr. Bert Liss of the Indiana Cab Company, in the elimination of
<br />i five cabstands; three at the Oliver Hotel on Main Street side, and two at the South
<br />Shore depot, on the north side of West LaSalle Avenue, thereby relieving traffic con-
<br />gestion at those points. Engineer Miller recommended to the Board the establishing
<br />of a one cab taxistand for the Indiana Cab Company, immediately in front of 117 W.
<br />LaSalle Avenue. Recommendation met with the Board's approval.
