In order to effectively legislate on this matter, it would be necessary for the Council to make a study of the existing dumping grounds within the city limits and to determine the number needed by the community. It is therefore recommended that this problem be turned over to a proper committee of the Council for study and for a report to be submitted at its next regular meeting. Once the Council has determined which of the two alternatives it feels is advisable, and, if the second alternative is chosen, just what areas shall be designated as dumping grounds, a proper ordinance can be readily drafted and submitted by one of the members of the Council for consideration by the entire body.

ORDINANCE NO. 3363 AN ORDINANCE ANNEXING CERTAIN CONTIGUOUS TERRITORY TO THE CITY OF SOUTH BEND, INDIANA The ordinance was given first and second reading. Upon the request of Councilman McCarthy, City Attorney Nathan Levy explained the situation as follows: "The Studebaker Corporation, as you know, is preparing to operate a plant. which the Government will build just outside the'e ity limits to the south. This ordinance brings into the city the property bounded by Chippewa Road and two hundred (200) feet south. This defense plant, as it goes up, will re- quire certain services of the city, - water, drainage, etc. In addition, the plant will bring into the city matten which should bm under the,control of the Board and Police Department and will require the services of the Fire Department. The speed which is necessary on the building will require the same speed by the City for services as laying the water mains, etc. Under the circumstances, we will request the suspension of the rules for immediate action. I do not believe a publication of public hearing is necessary as the law sets out that any property owner has a right to file a remonstrance in the Circuit Court and the Court will decide whether or not the annexation may be completed.` Councilman Jordan made a motion for the suspension of the rules.
