<br />Charles E. Gant, employee of
<br />the
<br />Bendix Products Corporation, as
<br />a special

<br />City of South Bend. The Board

<br />accordingly, signed and sealed
<br />forthwith.

<br />,
<br />Superintendent Ira Hunsbergerts recommendation for the installation of
<br />a 4000 lumen light at the alley intersection on the east side of Walnut Street,
<br />between Washington Street and Colfax Avenue, received the approval of the
<br />Board.
<br />A petition, dated December 21, 1953, carrying the names of twenty
<br />Elmer Street residents, requesting improved street lighting at the inter -
<br />sections of Elmer and Marquette, and Elmer and Hamilton,,was examined
<br />and referred to Superintendent Hunsberger for investigation and report.
<br />FIRE DEPARTMENT:
<br />Fire Chief, Richard J. Duck, being present, brought to the attention
<br />of the Board, the need to secure signed contracts from the Trustees and
<br />their Advisory Board, of Portage and German Townships,for the ensuing
<br />year. The Chief pointed out that these contracts, based on 10� per $100.00
<br />of the assessed valuation of the property'of the area so protected, is
<br />actually, in his opinion, insufficient to cover actual cost to the City of
<br />South Bend for the service rendered. The Board directed the Clerk to
<br />Proceed to submit contracts for the continuing of this fire protection
<br />service.
<br />The Board next took up the matter of the claim of the Gamewell Company
<br />covering equipment supplied'in accordance with contract signed October 27,
<br />1952, (Purchase Order BVV4L.6 ), and it was agreed that full
<br />A
<br />is to be made by the City of South Bend, and the Clearing House tAssociation
<br />billed by the City, for their proper portion of the cost of this equipment.
<br />The Clerk was directed to proceed accordingly.
<br />The Report of the South Bend Police Department for the month of
<br />November was examined and ordered filed.
<br />There being no further business to come before the Board, the meeting
<br />adjourned at 10 :50 A. M.
