<br />REPORT OF CLAIMS COM1 IITTEE
<br />TO THE MEMBERS OF THE COMMON COUNCIL:
<br />March 16, 1940
<br />In accordance with instructions given the Claims Committee at the regular meeting of the Common Council of the Ci
<br />of South Bend on March 11, your Claims Committee has investigated the alleged charge of the Indiana & Michigan
<br />Electric Company against the City of South Bend, for an unpaid bill they claim due for electric power and light
<br />furnished in the years of 1932, 1933 and 1934.
<br />We find that the balance of appropriation brought forward from 1933, as authorized by the State Board of Accounts,
<br />was X93,770.56, and the regular appropriation for the year 1934 was $95,000.00, making a total of $188,770.56. The
<br />amount of appropriation and the balance was entirely paid out on December 20, 1934, and the amount claimed was
<br />beyond the monies appropriated for that particular use.
<br />Your Committee was reliably informed that under existing laws the Controller has no legal authority to pay out the
<br />monies claimed unless authorized to do so by court mandate.
<br />It is the opinion of your Committee that while a certain measure of responsibility should be placed upon the Board
<br />of Public Works in office at the time the appropriation was exhausted, that a larger portion of the responsibility
<br />rests with the Indiana & Michigan Electric Company, who knowingly furnished more power and light than what was
<br />appropriated for in the budget for that year, and that the City Attorney be instructed to use every effort within
<br />his legal control to procure a verdict in favor of the city, as, in our judgment, this is not a just claim.
<br />WALTER A. BISHOP, Chairman
<br />Councilman Richardson made a motion that the Council concur with the report. Councilman Brannon seconded the motic��.
<br />Motion carried.
