Common Council City of South Bend February 3, 1958 South Bend, Indiana ATTENTION: Mr. Stanley Korpal, President Members of the Common Council: The Common Council in its action on Ordinance No. 4212 did act within its statutory grants in regulating which kind of vehicles should or should not be permitted use of any of our city streets. Practically, however, it is my considered judgment that we have not sufficiently covered the problem of channeling an important factor of our economy. Certainly the Council in its action; did not intend to constrict industry nor did it in any way have any so- called "black -mail" motive in its action. As I negate this legislative action, at the same time I am ordering the City Traffic Engineer to immediately call a conference of the truck industry and the Council Transportation Committee. This conference should, without emotion and without sentiment, but from a logical and practical standpoint, work out an overall Ordinance, and to submit it forthwith. Therefore, I am returning this Ordinance with my veto attached thereto. Respectfully yours, /s/ Edward F. Voorde Edward F. Voorde, Mayor EFV /ab Councilman Kroll made a motion that the Communication be accepted and placed on file. Councilman Hahn seconded the motion. Motion carried.
