<br />The Common -Council
<br />City of South Bend,
<br />South Bend, Indiana
<br />Gentlemen:
<br />The Acts of 1937 provide ways end means of remedying the housing situtation existing in the
<br />communities of the State of Indiana.. The condition in the Lity of.South Bend hus become extreme-
<br />lv serious. The Health Depflrtmert finds it necessary to condemn many houses in order to protect
<br />the health of the city, Fnd the scs•reity of de- Rings is such that families are unr:ble to find
<br />a place to live when forced to move from these condemned houses. In me.ny cases they Fre taken
<br />in by relatives or friends, thus cn using overcrowding which again creati�s�-° unsanitary conditions
<br />detrimental to .,the health of the community. These fpmilie s must be taken care of as soon_ as
<br />possible in crder to eliminate this condition.
<br />Provision -has been.mede by the Indi =3na Legislature for the clearance of slum areas and the er-
<br />ection of sanitary dwellings for families of lour income. The Mayor respectfully requests that
<br />yo-_ir honorable body pens a resolution creating a "Housing Authority" pursuant to Chapter 207 of
<br />the Acts of 1937•
<br />Very tr-.il_f yours,
<br />George W. Freyernputh
<br />Mayor of South Bend.
