TRAFFIC DEPARTMENT:
E. H. Miller, Traffic Engineer, being present, the Board asked his decision in
the matter of permit for two -cab taxi stand at the Main Street entrance of the Oliver
Hotel. Mr. Miller stated that before rendering final decision, a consultation between
himself and the Oliver Hotel management is necessary to determine whether a real need
exists for the added service.
A letter, addressed to the City Engineer, enclosing a receipted bill for replace-
ment of front spring and other damage caused by condition of street following sewer
installation, was read and considered.. The Board directed the Clerk to refer this
matter to the Niles Excavating Company, the contractors involved, whose bonding company
is responsible in settlement for damage of this type.

construction of the South Bend intercepting sewer system was.given some discussion
and the Board deferred signing of claim until the next regular meeting.
The remodeling proposed by Armour & Company, to eliminate as nearly as possible
present violation of ordinance governing the loading and unloading of trucks, came
up for some further discussion, with a view to furnishing Traffic Engineer Miller
with a resume of the points in this matter covered in the meeting of December 10tti.
Excavation bonds, each in the sum of $1,000.00, were approved for the following:
J. B. Fleck & Sons & Company
Bernhard D. Johnson
