Mr. Bert Gadacz of the New Jersey, Indiana& Illinois Railroad Company questioned the
accuracy of Mr. Millerts report.
Mayor Voorde stated that he definitely wants action taken. Does not like to hear the'
old story of railroad companies promising to reduce switching operation time, or report;
number of engine to company, etc. Mayor Voorde states that cars should not be traveling;
on these little side streets when they could be using the main thoroughfare. i
i The Mayor then introduced Ray Andrysiak, City Engineer. Mr. Andrysiak stressed the
• growing importance of Olive Street. He displayed a map of the Street Improvement Prograrh,
I Also, stated that there were only three (3) thoroughfare streets that run from City Limi'
j t6.:City Limit with Olive Street being one of the main streets, and Michigan Street and
Ironwood Drive, the other thoroughfares.
Mayor Voorde stated there is a solution. Suggests that representatives present meet
with the City Engineer, Ray Andrysiak, immediately after the meeting.
