COMMUNICATION: Common Council of the City of South Bend May 23, 1958 City Hall South Bend, Indiana ATTENTION: Honorable Stanley C..Korpal, President Gentlemen: Submitted herewith is a proposed minimum housing ordinance designed to replace our present Housing Code, Ordinance No. 3989. Our present code, which was adopted in 1953, has proved by experience to be inadequate in its provisions; to be cum- bersome, inequitable, and inoperative in its Enforcement provisions; and to be in general conflict with existing s.:tate enabling legislation. The above items are so detrimental to our slum clearance program, that we have ignored its provisions and have been accomplishing slum clearance throughout directly under the provisions spelled out in the attached state legislation.
