ORDINANCE AN ORDINANCE ANNEXING CERTAIN CONTIGUOUS TERRITORY TO THE CITY OF SOUTH BEND, INDIANA. (letter attached) The Common Council of the City of South Bend, South Bend, Indiana 1emen: COLPAERT REALTY CORPORATION The ordinance, of which the attached is a copy, is being introduced at the request of the undersigned, who are the owners of all the property proposed to be annexed to the city of South Bend. The principal reasons for the annexa tion of this property might be enumerated as follows: 1. It is our intention to immediately start a systematic and continuous building program of moderate priced houses on the property to be annexed. Our contemplated plans provide for the construction of from 25 to 30 houses during 1940, to be followed by a greater number of houses in succeeding .years. 2. Arrangements are being made with the City Water Department for the making of a deposit of approxi- mately $5000.00 for the installation of water mains up to Garden Lane, where our first houses will be constructed. Arrangements have also been made with the Indiana and Michigan Electric Company for the extension of electric lines, and with the Northern Indiana Public Service Co. for the installation of gas mains. 3. Considering that the building of a substantial number of houses may entail, in the future, the provid- ing of additional school facilities, improving of parks and other public necessities, it is considered to the best interest that it be definitely made known at this time whether this property shall be a part of the incorporated city of South Bend. 4. Xhe total assessed value of the property to be annexed amounts to $22,470.00, giving the city of South Bend an additional annual income from taxes on this property alone in the sum of $671.85. Of course, the construction of new homes will very materially increase the amount of taxes to be paid on this property. 5. Since there are no other property owners involved in any of the land to be annexed, we can not conceive of any objection that might be raised against the action, which we hope the Council will take, in order to properly annex this property to the city, at the earliest possible date. �r Yours very truly, COLPAERT REALTY CORPORATION Achille C.
