Re: Parade Participation
Honorable members of the Board:
John Thomas Dembinski
May 22, 1972
We have been requested recently by several different organizations asking
that fire equipment and apparatus be used in the leading of various par-
ades in the community.
I feel that under the present conditions that any parades involving South
Bend Fire Department equipment should be limited to those holidays or
parades that are national in scope and that we refuse requests from neigh-
borhood organizations, etc.
Your consideration and recommendation in this matter will be appreciated.
JRB/ss
Very truly yours,
SOUTH BEND FIRE DEPARTMENT
s/ Jack R. Bland, Fire Chief
Upon motion made, seconded and unanimously carried, the Board concurred in
Chief Bland's recommendation and approved denying requests for fire apparatus
to lead neighborhood parades.

LETTER FROM COUNCILMAN PARENT
The following letter was presented:
May 18, 1972
Mr. Charles Sweeney, Chairman
Board of Public Works and.Safety
South Bend, Indiana
Dear Mr. Sweeney:
I have been asked by citizens to bring to your attention that many
motorists do not stop at stop signs, unless there is another vehicle,
pedestrian or obstruction in or near the intersection. Most of these
traffic offenders are never apprehended. As you know, merely slowing
down at a stop sign is a hazard for others using the intersection, as
well as a violation of the Municipal Code.
Please investigate this problem and let me ,:know what actions will be
taken to eliminate the safety hazard caused by the violation of the
stop sign ordinance. Thank you.
Sincerely,
ROP/pdc s/ Roger 0. Parent
Upon motion made, seconded and unanimously carried, the Board directed
that the following letter should be directed to Mr. Parent.

of the City of South Bend be upheld, and we do not condone the conditions
as alleged in your letter.
