<br />office of the Mayor
<br />_ May 9, 1936
<br />The - Common Council,
<br />City of South Bend,
<br />South Bend, Indiana.
<br />Gentlemen: -
<br />Your.. re_solut -cm dated April 20, 1936, calling for civil service, advancement end. retirement of
<br />a31 employees-below-the rank-of Chief; etc* has been returned not signed: When my attention
<br />was called to this_ resolution councilman- informed me that that part-of the third paragraph
<br />which reads "end eventua7:Ily for other departments of the city government" would be omitted but
<br />the resolution shows that this was not done.
<br />Hearty agreement with civil service for members of the Police and Fire Departments should be ex
<br />pected but, however- civil service for- -- other. employees.of the City is impractical and should
<br />not be considered at this time. It is believed wise not to resolve on eventualities, such matt
<br />should be taken -acre of when events show them to -:be practical.
<br />Your-honorable body knows that the Mayors of Indiana will -meet here -next October -and the very
<br />subject- of your resolution- will. be discussed ther:, as, it has -been - considered by them on several
<br />previous occasions. On this account -it is- respectfully requeeted- that this mat's er be deferred
<br />until after the meetting-of the Municipal teague of Indiana. Nothing can be done until the next
<br />session of the legislature, and there will be ample time to formulate a bill after the Mayors
<br />of Indiana meet in our City.
<br />Very truly yours,
<br />George W. Freyermuth
<br />Mayor of South Bend.
