Mr. Clifton L. Kinch first appeared before the Board in the matter of Vacation
Resolution No. 2740, remonstrating against the vacating of the area involved, as
representing a piece of the very limited river frontage under control of the City,
and pointing out the interest of a considerable number of our citizens in river sports,
citing the Izaak Walton League and out -board motor enthusiasts. Councilman Walter
C. Erler, being present, stated that in his opinion the City "cannot have too much
access to the river". The Board also took note of a letter addressed to the Board
from the Department of Public Parks, stating the vietnrpoint of their Board in this
matter that this property should be retained in City o�,rnership. The matter of a
franchise held by the Indiana & Michigan Electric Company,in regard to overhead power
transmission lines and an H-frame erected on this property,also received some discussion
and the entire matter was taken under further advisement, decision to be deferred until
one week from this date.
The Board next took up the matter of curtailed bus service on Angela Boulevard and
read the report in this matter, submitted by the Northern Indiana Transit, Inc., wherein
they propose to restore thirty minute service on the Angela line from 6:00 P. M. to
9:10 P. M. on`Tv°onday nights only, commencing this date, and showing cause for their
inability to render this service,other than Monday night, due to lack of patronage.
VACATION RESOLUTION NO. 2737 - 1952
This being the date set, hearing was held on the assessment roll showing the award li
of damages and the assessment of benefits in the matter of vacation of CARROLL STREET �.
from the south line of Farneman Avenue, thence southerly along said Carroll Street a

said locality, under Vacation Resolution No. 2737. !
In the above named assessment roll, no remonstrators appeared and no written
• remonstrances were filed, the Clerk of the Board submitted proofs of publication of
notices and same were found sufficient, and the Board, therefore, finds that the several
lots and parcels of land,have been benefited and damaged in the amounts shown on said
roll. The Board, therefore, decided to take final action on said assessment roll and
declares sar.,qe in all things ratifi c 1, confirmed and approved without modification and
the proceedings closed, and the portion of Carroll Street vacated upon receipt of the
amount of benefit assessments from the various property owners so benefited and all
proceedings had with reference to said street vacation are hereby sustained. 1
