Honorable Gentleman: In Re:Valentine Srodas " claim,WesternAvenue Along N.Y,C.R.R. There is now pending before the Circuit Court of St.Joseph county,an action �. against the city of South Bend by the Sorda's for obstructions and impediments interferring with ingress and agress to the real property owned by the Sroda's as a result of the elevation of the road bed on Western avenue of the N:Y.C.R.R. right of way. The points involved in this action are very fine and dependent upon --' the attitude of the court and the jury. The City of South Bend in completing the new elevation is about to -:enter upon the commission of a new series of damagee to.the Sorda property.According to an ordiance the City of South Bend is bound to.furnish proper lateral support - to the Sorda land.Since the said lies in the ftm of a triangle with the acute 1 point of the trian..glealong Western Ave at the railroad property,it must certainly;' appear to both engineers of the R.R.and the city that it is impossible to furnish` proper lateral support to a strip of land converging to a fine :Obint,hence our theory of damages in the new action will be certain that the city attorney.Mr Edwin Hunter,though I have not conferred with him ,will agree with me: The retaining wall theory,if the city builds a retaining wall on the land dedicated to the city! or on the road bed it will naturally decrease the width of the street for which again liability rests on the city and damages accrue to the Sordas,another theory; in which I am certain Mr Hunter must agree with me. If again the city should decide to abadond the retaining wall idea and use i the seven feet abutting the Sorda's property to make a slope from the present surface line to a depressed side walk of seven feet,the entire city will be up in arms against the present adminstration for disfiguring the appearance of the street. There seems to be no escape for the city of South Bend from commitiing acts �. in relation to the elevation,which-acts would result in positive damagesto the \ Sordas.Since the damages are positive and can 'be seen and agreed upon ahead of construction,then why not settle with Sroda by takeing over the property and Converting the land which eventually the city.kust pay for,to some use at the time --' of construction thus saving the city considerable expense. We are willing to talk reasonable settlement with the city of South Bend and invite the Honorable Board of PublIc _N orks at any agreed time to discuss such a settlement. Very respectfully Yours, Chas R.Lewinski. x attorney for Srodas. F The matter was referred to the city attorney. t The meeting ourne 10.30 A.I. ATTEST Clerk Bog of Public 'forks
