The Board first examined and approved, upon the recommendation of the consulting
engineers, Charles W. Cole & Son, Contract Supplement No. 1 applying to Olive Street
Improvement Program, Contract "C" Rieth-Riley Construction Company, Contractor.
Mr. James Baer, representing the South Bend Junior Chamber of Commerce, appeared
!before the Board requesting permission to park five automobiles in five different
;locations in the downtown district on Michigan Street, for the purpose of advertising
!the Jaycees fund-raising program. The Boardts policy having been that of refusing such
!use of public parking space in the downtown area, pointed out to Mr. Baer that the
jgranting of such a privilege to one organization would bring about a deluge of requests
!of this nature. The Board accordingly denied the request.
Next appeared before the Board, Douglas C. Batson, Minister of the Berean Seventh-Day,
;Adventist Church, requesting permission to conduct their annual Christmas carolling
progran, in the residential area more or less contiguous to their church"for the.holi-
day season commencing 'about December lst, for the purpose of raising missionary funds.
The -Board granted this request.
The Board next examined plans and specifications, submitted by Consoer, Townsend &
Associates, for the construction of a service garage building for the Sewage Treatment
Plant', and passed the following resolution:
"We hereby approve plans and specifications for the service garage
.building of the Sewage Treatment Plant, and the engineers are
hereby requested to prepare a contract supplement, directed to
Sollitt Construction Co., Inc., for the construction of this
building."
TRAFFIC ENGINEER:
The Board next examined letter, dated November 18, 1955, from the Librarian of the
Public Library, addressed to Mayor John A. Scott, relative to the parking meters at
that location. The Board referred this letter to E. H. Miller, Traffic Engineer, for
his investigation and report.
The Traffic Engineer's Department's need for 200 - 10-foot channel posts was next
considered and the Clerk was directed to proceed with this purchase in accord with
Traffic Engineerts requisition dated November 17th.
The letter of U. S. Gypsum Company, over the signature of H. D. Hallberg,
dated November 15th, was next read by the Board. The Clerk was directed to acknowledge
this letter and place it on file.
The Board next considered and approved the release of Purchase Order BW9064, in the
amount of $236.00, in acceptance of the quotation of J. W. Werntz & Son,.Inc., for the
painting of the Civil Defense office, Room 4, City Hall.
The quotation of J. W. Werntz & Son, Inc., for the painting of the Traffic Engineerts'
office, in the amount of $230.00, was next considered and approved by the Board. The
Clerk was directed to issue formal purchase order to cover.
Then appeared before the Board Verner L. Lane, Building Commissioner, and considerable;
discussion ensued, pertaining to the hazardous condition of buildings located at 115
W. Jefferson Boulevard, and 126-128 S. Main Street. The Building Commissioner presented;
copies of notification given the owners and/or trustees of the property involved. The
Board directed the Building Commissioner to prepare notification for the signature of
the Clerk of the Board directing such owners and/or trustees to be present for a hearing';
in this matter, at 10:00 A. M. Monday, November 28, 1955, and present evidence showing
why the Commissionerts order has not been executed within the prescribed five days time
Next appeared before the Board, Ralph A. Haisley, together with two spokesmen, in
the matter of the advertised hearing on the subject of taxi -cab license for said Ralph
A. Haiseley. The Board first read and gave consideration to a letter submitted under
date of November 18th, over the signature of John R. Ligos, Business Agent, Courtesy
Cab Association. Considerable discussion then took place, centering mainly upon the
ordinance governing. Failure on the part of the petitioners to show evidence of the
public need for additinnal taxi -service, convinced the Board that such need does not
exist.at this time, and request for license was accordingly denied.
The time now being 11:00 A. hi. it was so announced, and the Board proceeded with
j! the opening of bids for a local combined sanitary and storm sewer in the Bercliff
Estates Addition:
