<br />South Bend, Indiana February 1, 1934.
<br />WHEREAS It is doubtful that industry will be able to absorb the labor now engaged on
<br />Civil Works Administration projects at the time that work is completed and it is the
<br />President's intention that Civil.Works Administration work was only designated to bridge
<br />the gap until industry or Public'Works Administration work is abletnto re- employ the labor
<br />• otherwise idle and
<br />WHEREAS This City will sooner or later be compelled to build a sewage disposal plant
<br />and funds are available for such a self liquidating project under the Public Works Adminis-
<br />tration and there will be a saving to the Community of 30% of the cost of a plant that wilft
<br />be manadatory to build at a later date and the only xz prerequisite to obtaining this
<br />Federal assistance is complete accord of the Mayor and the Common Council, now therefore be it
<br />RESOLVED That the South Bend Pharmacy Club endorse this project under the provisions of
<br />thiPublic Z Works Administration to the end that surplus labor be not returned to the dole
<br />line and that we petition: the Mayor and the Common Council to take such steps tt once

<br />COMMUNICATION AND RESOLUTION.' '
<br />Feb. 26, 1933•
<br />To the Honorable Members of the Council of the City of South Bend : -
<br />Gentlemen:
<br />The Radio Servicemen's Association of South Bend and Mishawaka acting as a group an d
<br />as representatives of numerous citizens of South Bend and Mishawaka, hereby ask the Honorable
<br />Members of the Council of the City of South Bend to consider the following resolution in
<br />regard to the recent installation of police radio equipment in South Bend and Mishawaka:
<br />Adk Resolved that the Council of the City of South Bend consider the following facts
<br />Aw and act upon the statements to follows: -
<br />The members of the South Bend group of the Radio Servicemen's Association, being. a
<br />techincal group thoroughly familiar with modern radio, have advised that the radio receivers
<br />installed in the police cars of South Bend and Mishawaka are obsolete avant equipment built.
<br />by the RCA - Victor Company in 1931 -32 and rewired for short wave reception. These radio
<br />receivers, circuits, tubes and equipment are not of modern design-or-of recent manufacture.
<br />Since these receivers are out of date., their efficiency is less than that of modern equipment
<br />and these receivers will not give the performance such an outlay of money as has been made
<br />should warrant.. -
<br />A techAical expert engaged by the Radio Service
<br />men�s Association was ,denied access
<br />to the Board of Safety files concerning the bids, specifications and general data on the police
<br />radio. The Board of Safety stated that the issue was cslosed since the expiration of a
<br />-• certain thirty day grace period. However, the Board of .Saf ety ignored a letter dated Dec. 20th
<br />from a member of the Radio Servieemenis Association stating that the installation was of
<br />obsolete design and pointing out the following specific :g features: -
<br />1. That the Government favored Ultra Short Wave Licenses;
<br />2. That the assigned f requency'of 1740 ( corre:.ction, 2470) K.'C. might be changed in the
<br />near future.
<br />3. That a broadcast device of- -this frequency would probably interfere with may other
<br />.receivers im the city.'
<br />4. That the Ultra Short Wave System using a modern five tube receiver had been designed.and,
<br />built :& by the RCA Victor Company before tie installation-,of the South Bend Equipment as
<br />evidenmed by the submission of a bid by the RCA Victor Company at Reoria, Illinois the day
<br />• following the sel4otion of the RCA Victor obsolete equipment in South Bend, and by the
<br />publication nby the RCA - Victor company of pamphlet discribing the newXX equipment, a copy of
<br />which appeared in a radio magazine in December.
<br />That the nine tube receivers installed in tje police cars of South Bend and Mgt Mishawaka
<br />would be an added expense to the city becsause of the excessive strain upon the storage battery
<br />equipment which will shorten the life of the batteries in police cars, because of the high
<br />cost ccf, tube replacement, because of the deadspots and static -which limit the efficiency of
<br />these receivers.
<br />'Uta The installation of a modern system would have saved the city the additional
