<br />South Bend., Ind.
<br />Dear Madam:
<br />This letter is written in response to your letter written to the Common Council of South Bend, under date of
<br />January 8, 1942.
<br />Please be advised that a police officer will be assigned to duty at the corner of Calvert St., and Fellow Street,
<br />on schoolm days, beginning at 11:30 A. M., in accordance with the policy recently adopted by the Common Council.
<br />It is the opinion of the Board of Public "Norks and Safety that providing police officers for this purpose throuout
<br />the City, will result in a shortage of men for other vital work, but as long as we are able, we will honor requests
<br />of this kind.
<br />If you have any further or additional suggestions concerning the safety of the school children, we shall be very
<br />happy to have them.
<br />Very truly yours,
<br />Board of Public Ifforks and Safety.
<br />CC to the Common Council.
