Mr. George Schmitt of the Indiana & Michigan Electric Company appeared before the
Board and discussed the matter of supplying the City Hall with commercial heat and
replacing present system of boilers. Mr. Schmitt stated that heat could be furnished
through our present one pipe system at approximately $1,800.00 per year, but that if
the City would change over to a two pipe system the heat could be furnished at
approximately $1,200.00, or the same figure that the City is now paying for coal. To
change over from a one pipe to a two pipe system he estimated it would cost approx-
imately $1,000.00. The Board advised him they would consider the matter for later
disposition.
Mr. Qualls reported on the Petition for street light at the intersection of Dayton
Street and Mumford Court that it was necessary to ask for further time to investigate
this, as so far no street light has been located that can be satisfactorily removed
from some other location.
A communication was received from the State Highway Commission in response to the
Board's letter of September 4th in reference to additional paving on Western Avenue.
The Commission, in their reply, enclosed a letter addressed.to Mr. John S. Buczkowski,
President of the Polish -American Central Civic Committee, in which he stated that while
the paving of Western Avenue was much to be desired it should not only be resurfaced
but widened. The difficulties, however, being that there are not sufficient funds to
carry out this project in addition to many others that St. Joseph County will enjoy
under the present program.
Bond of Contractor in favor of Elias G. Metz in the Fidelity and Casualty Company
of New York was approved by the Board.
Mr. John B. Campbell of the Campbell Box & Tag Company, in a communication to the Board,
requested -that the sidewalk now stetting up four or five inches from the street level
over. the Angella Bridge be removed, leaving more room for regular traffic. After
considering this matter fully, the Board decided that many objections would be received
if this was done and communication was therefore placed on file.
