Co. read and referred to the pole and wire inspector for eport. October 28th. 1922. Board of Public Works, South Bend, Indiana. Gentlemen: - At the corner of Eddy Street and E. Jefferson Blvd., there is a single light boulevard post w�-,ich is knocked down and broken by automobiles or trucks at least once a month. It is evidently quite impossible to maintain this lamp at the present location. We would respectfully suggest that you send us an order to remove the present lamp and install two posts --one a little further east on -Jefferson and another north on Eddy Street . The only other solution which we could suggest, would be to move this post as much as possible from the curb which would , of course,, put it out of line with the row of lights and we think the first method suggested is the better one, FILED ll 222 Yours very truly, Of � 'B3' W4HTER INDIANA & MIHIGAN ELECTRIC COMPANY Board of Public Yorks.
