COMMUNICATION DISTRICT COUNCIL OF LASALLE PARK SOUTH BEND, INDIANA MAY 15, 1961 South Bend Common Council City Hall South Bend, Indiana Gentlemen: A recent survey conducted in our area has shown over 80 per cent of the property owners are in favor of rehabilitatio for our neighborhood. The LaSalle Park area residents feel that an emergency situation has developed because of past neglect, and this emergency can only be resolved by favorable consideration and positive action by your Commission. There are a number of new homes in the area deteriorating because of neighborhood blight. For the past four years we have tried to seek streets and sewers under the Barrett Law. To date, only one sewer has been installed, and we had to seek an out -of -state bond buyer for this. Once the area has been rehabilitated, it should prove 4ttractive to private as well as public investors. Relocation
