<br />COMMUNICATION
<br />To the Honorable Common Council
<br />of the City of South Bend
<br />Gentlemen:
<br />CITY OF SOUTH BEND, INDIANA
<br />DEPARTMENT OF LAW
<br />January 6, 1941
<br />At the last Council meeting, Mr. T. Earl Kuntz addressed the Council, calling attention to a situation which exi
<br />in front of his place of business on South Lafayette Street, south of Indiana Avenue, where a truck is parked in
<br />the street in front of his manufacturing establishment for long periods at a time, thereby causing annoyance and
<br />inconvenience to Mr. Kuntz.
<br />At that time you instructed me to investigate the situation for the purpose of determining whether we had any
<br />ordinance that would solve it, and if not, to draft an ordinance which would take care of the oomplaint: Section
<br />33 of Ordinance No. 3146, which is the Traffic Ordinance, provides as follows:
<br />"That the parking of vehicles on public streets or places of the city of South Bend,
<br />Indiana, in front of any building oocupied or used for business or professional
<br />purposes and not regulated by existing ordinances is hereby prohibited for ,& period
<br />exceeding three hours at a time, between eight o'clock, a.m. and six o'clock, p.m*
<br />on any day of the week, excepting Saturday, and on Saturday, between the hours of
<br />eight a.m. and nine p.m., and .holidays."
<br />I believe that this section of the :ordinance can be used to prohibit parking in front of Mr. Kuntz's place of
<br />business, for•.periods in . excess of three hours at a time. I am asking the police department to enforce this sec-
<br />tion of the ordinance in attempting to relieve the situation of which Mr. Kuntz complaintsq
<br />Very truly,
<br />GEO. N. BEAMER
<br />Councilman Pulaski made a motion to accept the communication and place it on file. Councilman Brannan seconded t
<br />motion. Motion carried by a vote of 8 ayes - 0 nays 1 absent.
