Fraternity in South Bend, appeared before the
reference to flushing sewers, a practice which
Board and requested consideration with
the City has followed for many years,
and asking; that this be discontinued to give
plumbers an opportunity to furnish
this
service. The Board, after fully
discussing
the matter, considered their proposal
unfavorably and it was moved by Mr. Hunter,
seconded by Is. Woodward and carried
that
this Board make no change from the present practice.
Mr. Anderson reported to the Board that he lied thoroughly investigated the matter
of driving wells on City property and recommended that permission to do this be not
granted applying -to Smith-llonroe.Co. -or any other Company or person_at this or-an.y-
future time until changed by, -the;- Board, action .carried by regular motion-.
The Secretary brought to the attention of the Board a letter from Alex Langel
• refusing to pay for flushing. his sewer at 1219 East Dayton Street, he claiming that the
work was not properly done. After a thorough investigation with the Street Department
who reported that the work was done satisfactorily and if it had not been it would have
been flushed at no cost a second time, the Board directed the Secretary to inform
"r. Langel and insist upon payment of this account.
Continuation certificates covering excavation bonds in favor of Arthur V. Yeyer
and John G. Kestler were approved by the Board.
Excavation bond -in the amount of $1,000.00 in the Home Indemnity Company of New
York in favor of William J. Turnock of South Bend was approved by the Board.
It was regularly moved by P.r. Hunter, seconded by I%Tr. Woodward and regularly
carried that the minutes of special meeting of November 22nd be corrected by eliminating
the words "move to" in the eleventh line of said minutes and that the Clerk be
instructed to correct the minutes in accordance with this motion.

This being the date set hearing was had on the assessment roll showing awards of
damages and the assessment of benefits in the matter of vacation of alley west of
Olive Street from Longley Avenue to the alley north of Longley Avenue, same being
Vacation Resolution ,#2485.
In the above named assessment roll no remonstrators appeared and no written
remonstrances were filed. The Clerk of the hoard submitted proofs of delivery of
notices and same were found to be sufficient. The Board, therefore, finds that the
several lots and parcels of land have been benefitted and damaged in the amounts shown
on said roll. The Board, therefore, decides to take final action on said assessment
roll and declares same in all things ratified, confirmed and approved without modifi-
cation and the proceedings closed and the alley vacated, upon receipt of the amount of
benefits assessed from the various property owners so benefitted and the proceedings
had with reference to said alley vacation are hereby sustained.
