STANDARD OIL COMPANY S0 7TH BEND, INDIANA Mr. Howard L. Chambers 614 Sherland- Bldg. South Bend, Indiana My dear Mr. Chambers: March 14, 1936 You will recall that we discussed the Gasoline Taxes that were paid to the State of Indiana in St. Joseph County ^nd I promised to give you some exact figures. If my memory serves me correctly, and I am sure it does, we have been paying into the State Treasury in Gasoline Taxes from this County over a million dollars per year more than we have re- ceived in the improvement of our highways. I do not have the exact figures for the past few yea'r's but I can give you the figures on 1934. In that year St. Joseph County paid into the State $1,326,160.00 in Gasoline Taxes and Auto Licenses That same year; we received back in improvements only $2682408.00. It is also intereF. ling to note that of the ninety -two counties in the State of Indiana, St. Joseph County stands sixty —third in benefits received from-these taxes. I trust the above will be helpful to you and if I can be of further iLssistance, please do not hesitate to cell upon me. Yours, truly, C. C. Inglefield CCt:.

KOSCIUSZKO CIVIC CLUB of St. Casimir Parish South Bend, Indiana March 111 1936 The Common Council City of.South Bend Gentlemen: At a meeting of the Club. March 10th, it was voted unanimously to state our objection to t adoption of Eastern Stand,-,r d time in South Bend. The memebers° of the Club feel that such ? change- is entirely unwarranted. We are -too. far West to reai.Sy benefit in any way by the change. We also feel that such a change would actually cause a hard ship to the majority of laboring men and women in our community, especially in the winter months. Hoping that you will take our objection under advisement, we remain. Sincerely- yours, KOSCIUSZKO CIVIC CLUB - Signed Joseph Szuba The communication was accepted and Councilman Chambers moved that said mga I±nxe be placed on fi] Councilman Goetz seconded the motion. Motion carried. communication 3/20/1,936 Gentlemen: I am writing this in protest against changing the hours of milk delivering. As I, as well as hundreds of other working men and women would be obliged to go to work without milk for bread — fast. Even grocery stores are not open before 7 A.M. And some can not even afford to buy ice. Yours, truly, Mrs. Grece Moore 1134 E. Fox Street, City The communication was accepted and Co-incilmnn Chambers moved that said communication be placed file. Councilman Kerner seconded the motion. Motion carried. H. MARSHALL HIME2 Chiropractor 906 Building & Loan -Tower 216 W. Washington Ave. South Bend, Indiana March 21, 1936 The South Bend: Common Council City Hall South Bend, Indiana Gentlemen: In recent years, cities the size of South Bend have found it profitable to their health records if they insured the delivery of fresh foods to their residents. It is not necessery to impress t fact on your minds. You will agree with me-that South Bend, beir_g a- modern city,`desires to keen on the same plane of progression as other cities. The ordinance pertaining to the delivery of milk and other dairy products that is now before you is just. -such a-progressive measure. Milk delivered before 7:00 A.M. is very likely to become sour. Th?t has happened in case after case in other cities, -and has happened in South Bend in previous years. If a ruling was made prohibiting the delivery of milk before that hour during the "summer months, many people who would suffer from lack of this necessary fool will be able to have it, I am thinking particularly of babies. My own personal experience in Chicago was one of soured milk until the Council ruled otherwise. I cannot urp7e you too strongly to pass this measure in the interests of the health of the people at • • *I .I *I
