<br />The Clerk read the following communications:
<br />Committee of the Whole
<br />South Bend Common Council
<br />South Bend, Indiana
<br />Gentlemen:
<br />March 22, 1963
<br />This Association wishes to point out that the new salary ordinance of the city of South Bend failed to meet the
<br />statutory requirements, as set forth in Chapter 107 of the Acts of 1959, Section 6, Burns 48 -1233, pages 224 and 2259
<br />In our opinion corrective <iCetp'sy are required in order that elected city officials may draw their salaries during
<br />their tenure in office beginning January 1, 1964. Should this serious error on the part of the city administration
<br />go uncorrected, salary payments to these elected officials could be challenged by legal action initiated by any
<br />citizen. It is, we believe, the duty of the administration to avoid such a hazard by immediate action.
<br />We wish to see the action of the City Council fully and legally in effect. Salary increases reflected in the salary
<br />ordinance have been long delayed with respect to the officials involved, and we believe the stature of these
<br />particular positions merits recognition through more adequate compensation. Your prompt action appears imperative
<br />to prevent future embarrassment and even serious financial hardship for the elected city officials who will take,
<br />office January 1, 1964.
<br />Very truly yours,
<br />SOUTH BEND CIVIC PLANNING ASSN. INC.
<br />/s/ Charles W. Hahn
<br />Mrs. Freda Noble, City Clerk Charles W. Hahn, President
