MARCH 24. 1952.
<br />In this latter connection, Chief of Polio Gillen had advised Mr. George Bauer, who is also
<br />representing the property owners in this matter that the only trucking firm who had been given official
<br />authority to use this street was Mercury Motorways.
<br />A list of carriers whose trucks were using this thoroughfare was included in the writer's letter
<br />of March 8th to Police Chief Gillen, a copy of which was submitted to the City Council together with a
<br />petition carrying the signatures of over 95/ of the property owners-on this street objecting to this con-
<br />dition.
<br />We have seen no improvement in this connection; in fact, more trucks of a greater number of truck-
<br />ing firms are finding this to be a "convenient " route every day. During the past week, vehic:. les of the
<br />following carriers were observed during the daylight hours on this section of Twyck.enham Drive:
<br />Trans American Freight Lines
<br />South Bend Freight Lines
<br />Tucker Freight Lines
<br />Michigan Motor Freight
<br />Shore Line Express
<br />Commercial Motor Freight
<br />Hover
<br />Independent Trucking Lines
<br />Liberty Highway Company
<br />Clemans Truck Lines
<br />Keeshin Motor Express, Inc.,
<br />Norwalk Truck Lines
<br />West Shore Express
<br />Inter -State System.
<br />There were also many large corss- country gasoline trucks from the Gulf: Standard, and Marathon Oil
<br />Companies. Other vehicles carried no visible names for indentification, and of course, much of this type
<br />of movement is after dark, which makes carrier identification difficulty.
<br />Although some temporary repairs were made to the street during the past week, this improvement will
<br />be short -lived unless something is done to eliminate unwarrented, and we believe, unnecessary violations
<br />of the residential and boulevard restrictions which should protect our neighborhood. We ask, again, that
<br />this matter be investigated and something constructive done about it.
<br />Sincerely,
<br />Donald L. Carter
