<br />ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT: In answer to a request of the Board, the following representative)
<br />of the T e,,w York Central, New Jersey, Indiana and Illinois and Grand Trunk Railways,
<br />G. A. Farabaugh, Attorney for the N.Y.C., J. A. Hickey, General Yardmaster, N.Y.C.,

<br />Freight Agt. Grand Trunk, E. T. Hickman, Asst. Supt. N.J.I. & I. and B. '14. Bennett,
<br />Div. Eng. of the Wabash Ry., appeared before the Board, to consider the petition receiv-
<br />ed by the Common Council and referred to the Board of Public Norks and Safety, asking
<br />that a footbridge be constructed across the railroad tracks at either Brookfield, Grant
<br />or Jackson Sts., to enable the children attending Washington High School to cross these
<br />tracks in safety. After discussing the matter, it was decided that the railroad
<br />companies would eliminate all switching at the Olive St., and the Ford St., crossings
<br />between 7:45 A. K. and 8:15 A. M., to enable the children to cross at these points
<br />without being held up, and that the train which now switches in the yards at 8:00 A. M.
<br />would be scheduled to do the switching at 5:00 A. M. instead.
<br />Mr. Stanley Gezeskowiak, 2505 a. Monroe St. one of the signers of the petition was
<br />present and the Board asked him to check on this and see if by making these changes,
<br />the children would be benefitted and the situation remedied.
<br />It was decided that since a construction program as requested by the petitioners
<br />would incur a financial burden upon the City, for which no funds are available, that
<br />this plan be observed by the railroad officials and the petitioners for a period of
<br />• time and determine its effectiveness.
<br />The Board approved the plan for the sewer extension on Bissell St.,from the West line
<br />of.N. Sunnyside 2nd Addition to Tyckenham Dr.
<br />Continuation certificates were received for Thomas L. Hickey on his excavation bond
<br />and also for the Distler Plumbing and Heating Co., Mishawaka, Ind., on their excavation
<br />bond,
