<br />!'permission for the parade.
<br />Next appeared before the Board Mr. Burr Swisher, 1125-'Fox Street, complaining of
<br />;damage done to his curbing by a Street Department grader. Mr. Swisher stated that most
<br />of the damage occurred in one incident, witnessed by Mrs. Swisher and neighbors and more
<br />than three years have elapsed since the occurrence. Mr. Swisher further stated the curb
<br />ping in front of adjoining properties was similarly damaged and contended the City should
<br />replace the damaged curbing. City Engineer Andrysiak pointed out the fact that curbing
<br />i,lis to be maintained at"the expense of the property owner and that the curbing at this
<br />location was old and greatly deteriorated before it was hit and broken by the scraper.
<br />;Engineer, Andrysiak stated, however, the City would, in this instance, assume not more I
<br />'than 10% of the cost to restore this curbing. The Board was in agreement on this point

<br />1'correction of statements given by Attorney Shorts at a previous hearing in this matter
<br />concerning the amount paid for this enterprise, and the number of signers on the petition;
<br />irequesting the newsstand be retained. Attorney Shorts then recited to the Board the
<br />,,f act that Mr. Brooks is a war veteran and in poor physical condition, and various other
<br />f actors for the Boardts consideration, suggesting the possibility of moving the news-
<br />1; to a former location in front of the American Trust Building. It was pointed out
<br />by R. S. Andrysiak that the same news service is available one block distant, at the
<br />!,southwest corner of Main and Washington, where the news vendor does not interfere with
<br />!other business activities and more space exists for pedestrian traffic. It was con-
<br />ceded by the Board that no sufficient reason has been presented for detaining the news -
<br />:stand operated by Mr. Brooks, and the Board will proceed with its removal. Atty. Shorts
<br />!then advised he would obtain a court injunction to prevent the Board from carrying out
<br />:,its intentions in the matter.
