<br />First appeared before the Board the Hon. Walter C. Erler, and verbally petitioned
<br />on behalf of the residents of Woodside, the removal of the bus routing from Woodside to
<br />1another street equally suitable to serve the patrons of the immediate area. The matter
<br />,was referred to Traffic Engineer, E. H. Miller for investigation and recommendation.
<br />Chas. Boynton- Attorney for Romy and Dorothy Hammes, then appeared before the
<br />Board and entered into negotiations with the City of South Bend, relative to the
<br />ae)quisitiwo of additional right of wag on the east side of Olive Street, from Western
<br />.Avenue to Washington Street. All terms of agreement apparently met with the favor of
<br />both groups of the negotiators, and the transfer of property will be effected soon,
<br />after a mortgage release is obtained from the former owner, the Singer Manufacturing
<br />;Company. The City is now endeavoring to obtain an additional twelve feet for right of
<br />way, however, should this prove impossible, ten feet will be acceptable.
<br />Next appeared before the Board, Attorney Roger F. Gag, together with three residents;
<br />of Wall Street, in the immediate vicinity of the John Adams High School, complaining
<br />;that the excessive parking of high school students' cars is blocking driveways and pre- j
<br />venting residents from entering or leaving their premises. Mrs. Karn stated that cars
<br />;have been driven over lawns, causing property damage, and stressed the fact that the
<br />'situation is not only one of serious inconvenience, but presents a definite safety
<br />'hazard.
<br />Considerable further discussion followed, and it was pointed out that ample parking
<br />'facilities are available on Mishawaka Avenue. Complaint was also registered concerning
<br />"drag racing" and other dangerous practices engaged in by John Adams High School students;
<br />The Board assured the petitioners early action woiu.d be taken in the matter, follow
<br />ing a,study of the situation b the Traffic Engineer, and the g g , presentation to the Board
<br />of the Traffic Engineerts recommendations.
<br />The Board next examined remonstrances filed in opposition to the Bereliff Estates
<br />Addition sewers. These were referred to the City Engineer, to be checked for the
<br />purpose of determining the actual number of signatures qualifying as bona fide property
<br />owners.
