<br />I am Triting you this letter as a citizen of the City bf South Bend anal respect-
<br />fully calling your attention to that part of Western Avenue which is near the western
<br />limit of said City, where the ^venue is wide, and you heve numerous light posts erected
<br />in the center of said avenue.
<br />I also note that at the present time that the western ligr:t pole, and also the
<br />as tern light -pole have a red light on the top of same, but never the less, ? believe
<br />bat these constitute a defect in said Avenue, and that: a driver of an automobile driv
<br />ng as they do under various weather conri.tions, is very liable to run into and against
<br />ne of those posts, an(q, thereby suffer severe personal injuries- • or possibly loss of
<br />if e .
<br />It is probable, ho,srever, that any person who is familiar with the location and
<br />the -costs -rill run into same, but nerticul<arly this year, an(' on account of the World's
<br />7,pir tra ffic, I believe that there is very lirble to be a very serious accident occur,
<br />vrrl. un�, er t}le present circum--tances, i believe that the City mig'lt be held liable, but
<br />repar("less of the _liability, the humenitarurn e spe ct of it sbnuT_d be sufficiently con-
<br />sidered to cruse the city to remove these posts.
<br />I an -riting this letter, nit as a creticism of the city, nor for any reason
<br />'- Pt i t is of nersonalinterest to re, but rather by <<ay of a. fri.endlr suggestion, respec
<br />.u11Y inviting your at�,1ention to this situation. !

<br />In the above rip, tter, the Clerk of the Lcrrd is ordered to instruct VVm. i''. Qualls,
<br />superintendent of lights, to erect button d anger signals a t the vTe stern extP � Ay and a is
<br />at the eastern extremity of said clusters of lights on Western Avenue and thus avoid
<br />any possible danger to motorists at this location in the City.
