�I pavement and it is ilpossible at this time to obtain paving materials.
A recent inspection was made of the unpaved portion of Timber Lane and also 0akcrest
Drive from, Timber Lane to 35th Street. A profile was requested to determine if these
streets have been graded to the grade established by this Board. The streets have been
graded approximately to the established grade, and bank run gravel has been installed
approxiinately 20 feet in width and 6 inches in depth on or near the center line of these
streets.
• Even though this gravel is not exactly to grade, it being as muchas one foot below grad
in some places, the Engineering Department recommends that it be accepted for maintenanc
The remainder of the roadway section is in satisfactory condition. If and when resur-
facing material is available, it will the to bring the final grade to its proper elevation.

I believe that the Council should put into effect a motion instructing the Board of
Public Works to make a complete survey of the critical rubbish disposal situation which
the residents of South :Bend are now facing.
The situation should be investigated from these angles:
1. The possibility of an ordinance setting up a rubbish disposal system'controlle
by the City of South Bend -
2. The possibility of employing a contractor to dispose of the rubbish along -the
same plan as the garbage disposal is now taken care of, with anominal fee to be assessec
each home owner, or -
3. Having a disposal arrangement with those who are now in the business, giving
them concession to certain neighborhoods so that the entire city could be served.
Very truly yours,
J. I`rI. IZc C ar thy,
Member of the Co_mion Council
No action was taken on the above matter.
LEGAL DEPA TiIENT : The :Board approved the claim of 11=arie '',Iatthews in the amount of
7150.00 for injuries allegedly suffered -when she fell on the sidewalk,
