<br />Next appeared before the Board, S. C. Morse, District Supervisor, Electrical
<br />Maintenance, New York Central Railroad. Mr. Morse first read the ordinance governing
<br />the railroadts responsibilities relative to providing the necessary lighting for rail-
<br />road crossings within municipal boundaries. Discussion was then given to share of
<br />expense for the 4000 lumen lights to be placed at the Sibley Street and Florence Avenue
<br />crossings. The Board then adopted the following resolution:
<br />RESOLVED BY THE BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS AND SAFETY, of the city of South Bend,
<br />Indiana, that a street light be installed at each of the intersections of
<br />Sibley Street and Florence Avenue with the New York Central Railroad branch,
<br />each of these two lights to be 4000 lumen. The total cost for these lights
<br />will be twv-dollars and sixty cents ($2.60) per light per month. The Board
<br />of Public Works, on behalf of the City of South Bend, agrees to pay seventy
<br />cents (.70) per month per light, and we ask that the New York Central Railroad
<br />Company pay one dollar and ninety cents per month per light.
<br />The request of Mr. M. C. Fahler that Saturday, April 30th, be approved and set by
<br />the Board, as White Cane Sale Day for 1955, was next considered, and there being no
<br />,previous commitment conflicting, the Board complied with Mr. Fahlerts request and
<br />approved the date of Saturday, April 30, 1955•
<br />Then appeared before the Board, Street Commissioner, H. M. Tomlinson, and painting
<br />contractor, J. W. DeLee, in the matter of contract -for the painting of Street Department
<br />buildings entered into between the City of South Bend and contractor J. W. DeLee, under
<br />;date of December 20, 1954, The Board determined that two coats were required under the
<br />contract, and the City was not at fault in the contractorts failure to provide himself
<br />with and follow specifications called for. It was agreed -contractor DeLee will complete
<br />contract in accord with specifications.
<br />STREET DEPARTMENT:
