Gillen, <br />asking that the Board appoint as special police officers, Roy A. Klink, <br />an employee of Bendix Home Appliance Co., and Albert E. Vascil of the <br />ascil.11erchant Police Service. In pursuance of statutes governing, <br />the Board, thereupon, made the appointments requested. <br />Chief Gillen next brought to the Boardts attention, the impossibility of <br />exercising traffic law- enforcement on Spencer Street, in view of the fact <br />that the south one -half of this street is the property of the Grand Trunk. <br />W stern Railway Company, and under the control of a lessee. Chief Gillen <br />stated the railroad company has offered to deed their ownership of this <br />s rip of property comprising the south half of Spencer Street to the 'City <br />oC South Bend, with a view to placing this street under proper police' <br />j risdiction. It was suggested this should be handled in the form of a <br />d dication and Chief Gillen was instructed to inform the railroad company <br />tD proceed accordingly. <br />IRE DEPARTMENT: <br />Fire Chief Richard J. Duck, being present, delivered to the Board a <br />letter from the Chicago Office of the National Board of Fire Underwriters, <br />in which it was pointed out their survey of the southwest section of the <br />City, had resulted in the conclusion that there was no need then (March <br />1952), "nor would there be in the foreseeable future" for a firo station <br />at the site owned by the City at Prairie and Ewing Avenues. The letter <br />stated there is greater immediate need for a new fire station in the <br />southeastern part of the City, in the vicinity of I,Jliami Street and <br />Twyckenham Drive, where extensive new building has been in progress. Some <br />discussion followed, and the Board directed that the Rum Village Business <br />M nts association be informed concerning the report of the National Board <br />I <br />
