ICOMMUNIOATION FROM DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS The Common Council of the City of South Bend, Indiana November 13, 1939 (Gentlemen: The Street Department is confronted with the necessity of making temporary repairs on Mishawaka Avenue and Eddy Street after the removal of the street,ear rails. When these rails were sold it was thought it would be possible to repair this area in connection with the city -wide street improvement project under V.P.A., but several things have prevented the work from being done by the W.P.A.; one of which is that the funds for the project have been exhausted for this year and the other is that the lateness of the-season has made it impractical to do this sort of work. This requires that this temporary repair work be done by our own Street Department, which will necessitate an increased labor item over and above the appropriation in our budget for this year. Fortunately, we have received from the State Gasoline Tax Fund $3695.54 more than was appropriate for the Street Department purposes for the current year. We are asking, therefore, for a special appropriation of this amount to the Street Department to take care of labor costs in connection with this repair work. This will require a public hearing before the enactment of the ordinance, which must be advertised for at least ten days. It will - then require the approval of the State Tax Board, but we-have reasons to believe that there will be no objections from that source. Very truly yours, BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS By JAMES P. CONBOY, Clerk
