Hammond with Judgment of -Kovach and Kish Case approved May 9,1923 and clerk instructed to have certificate ,,prepared and referred to City Controller for pgt6ftt,;` ' The following complaint received from Samuel Rettingiil reported on by the Pole and Wire. Inspector as follows and said report, was approved. June 14,1923. Board 'of Public Works, South Bend, Indiana. Gentlemen: - .I am writing in behalf of, Mrs. A. L. Brick.4745 W. Washington Avenues who lived oppiste the intersection of Avenue. Chapin .Street with Washington About three yearsago, a car drive north on Chapin Street came up over the curb, over her lawn and clear upon her front porch, causing about $175.00 damage. Monday night she had a similar expenie.nce , but this time her bay window was knocked ft. What the damage will be this time to the houe and a small treet that was broken down on her lawn, I do not yet know. Both of these cars were operated icy men who were under the ftfluence of liquor, bit but is is very possible that a like accident might occur to a man who was sober but did not know the street turns. It is not only the question of damage to Mrs. Brick's property but damage to life, either people walking on the sidewalk being hurt by a car or occupants of a car themselves. t For this reason Mrs. Brick has asked me to plftition you to have a red light installed at this intersection, to warn people,coming.nprth on Chapin Street that this is a dead end. Please give this -your ea espt attentl attention. Very truly yours-, SAMITEL B. PETTINGILL To the Bard of Public Works, 6_19.1923. I beg to recommend there is many other corners in this City just such corners as Chapin and Washington. A red light would not stop the autos from running into the fence or yard. I recommend no light.
