<br />The Street Commissioner stressed the hazardous condition existing at the Beck's
<br />Lake Dump, due to men and boys riding on the Bendix trucks arriving at the dump to
<br />be unloaded. The Board authorized the Clerk to send the following letter to the
<br />Plant Superintendent at Bendix:
<br />• ''Our attention has been called to the hazardous conditions that exist when
<br />your trucks haul refuse to the Beck's Lake dump. It seems that as your
<br />trucks approach the dump, youngsters living in the vicinity'of the dump
<br />climb on these "trucks in search of valuable refuse. The boxes containing
<br />the refuse are shoved off the trucks before they reach the designated
<br />dumping place.
<br />ij In the ?~lad scramble to bet on the truces and to shove the boxes off, there
<br />is grave danger of thes; youngsters being injured. It is reported that a
<br />youngster was killed a few years ago, and another had his leg broken just
<br />recently because of this condition.
<br />Also the dumping of refuse before it reaches the designated dumping place
<br />makes it more difficult to maintain the dumping ground, and loose paper
<br />and other light material is blown about the community creating a nuisance.
<br />The Board -of Public Works and Safety urges: you to take whatever steps are
<br />necessary to eliminate the conditions as outlined above. A communitation
<br />from you as to what steps have been taken will be appreciated."
<br />The,Board of Public 'orks approved the establishing of grade on the alley
<br />bed een Woodland Ave . , and Boulevard Park Addition, from. Inglewood Place, South.
<br />/ There being no further lousiness, the Meeting was adjourned at 12 05 P.
