<br />The matter first given the attention of the Board was that of a triangular piece
<br />of land on the west side of Michigan Street, lying between Samuel Leeper's 2nd Addition
<br />and the Michigan Central Railroad tracks. The City Engineer, having made an investigation
<br />in this matter, reported to the Board that the area described is not property of the
<br />'City, and the Clerk was directed to so advise Attorney Robert K. Rodibaugh in reply to
<br />'ihis inquiry dated March 25, 1955.
<br />Consideration was next given to the request of Mary Bella, Poppy Day Chairman,
<br />!American Legion Auxiliary, Post 50, that permission be granted the American Legion to
<br />'conduct their annual poppy sale on Friday and Saturday, May 20th and 21st. These dates,
<br />'having previously be established for the D. A. V. Forget -Me -Not Day, and Ward Anderson,
<br />!Adjutant, D. A. V. Chapter 6, being present and opposed to sharing these dates with the
<br />;American Legion, considerable discussion was given the matter. It was the final decision
<br />of the Board, inasmuch as both organizations are representative of the war veterans, and
<br />,the American Legion was agreeable to conducting Poppy Day jointly with the D. A. V.
<br />:Forget -Me -Not Day, to grant permission to American Legion Auxiliary, Post 50, for the
<br />;dates of May 20th and 21, 1955, and it was so ordered.
<br />Petition, dated February 1, 1955, for sewer line on 33rd Street, between Jefferson;;
<br />.and Washington Streets, in Jefferson Acres Addition, was referred to the City Engineer,
<br />The Board then proceeded with the hearing in the matter of taxicab license for
<br />,Andrew Ligos and Donald A. Heilman. It was pointed out to Mr. Ligos by City Attorney
<br />I. A. Hurwich that license can only be issued to him upon the surrender of Taxicab
<br />!License No. 1, now held by Earl Stacher. Mr. Heilman was informed that upon the
<br />surrender of Taxicab License No. 9, presently held by Earl Stacher, a license in replace-'
<br />ment may be issued to Donald A. Heilman. Mr. Heilmants attention was called to a record
<br />!'of traffic violations, now some years past, and he was warned that another such violation!'
<br />would.jeopardize his license.
<br />VACATION RESOLUTION NO.2808 - 1955
<br />This being the date set, hearing was had on the Resolution heretofore adopted
<br />by the Board of Public Works and Safety for the vacation of Lafayette Boulevard from the
<br />north line of Farneman Avenue (now vacated) to the north line of Tasher Avenue and from
<br />the south line of Tasher Avenue to the north line of Jennings Avenue, and from the south
<br />line of Jennings Avenue to the north line of Dean Street, and from the south line of
<br />Sherwood Street and from the a)uth line of Sherwood Street to the north line of the first;
<br />alley south of Sherwood Street, under Vacation Resolution No. 2808. The Clerk of the
<br />Board having shown sufficient proofs of publication and no remonstrators having appeared
<br />it was moved, seconded and unanimously carried that the said resolution be finally adopter
<br />and said portion of street be vacated. The Engineering Department is directed to prepare;
<br />an assessment roll covering the assessment of benefits and the award of damages to the
<br />surrounding properties.
<br />STREET DEPARTMENT:
<br />H. M. Tomlinson, Street Commissioner, being present, brought to the attention of
<br />the Board, the dust condition now prevailing on that section of Riverside Drive over
<br />which heavy traffic connected with the Sewage Treatment Plant construction activities
<br />is presently routed. The Commissioner was directed to oil this section and was advised
<br />that cost of oil so used would be borne by the Sewage Works Construction fund. -
<br />It now being the time set by legal advertising for the opening of bids, announce-
<br />ment was so made and the Board proceeded in this matter, as follows:
