As you know, a <br />hearing- already has been held before the Public Service Commission <br />of Indiana in which testimony and evidence was presented seeking to <br />uphold the ordinance previously enacted by the Common Council. The <br />technical amendments proposed in this bill were ordered by the Public <br />Service Commission so that the ordinance will conform to the state <br />statutes governing the banning of train whistles within city limits. <br />The final decision of the Public Service Commission will be issued <br />upon our submission of the amended ordinance. <br />Your favorable action in this matter will be appreciated. <br />TJBjr /klh <br />Attachment <br />City A <br />
