1City Traffic Engineer Miller called attention to intersection of Twyckenham
Drive and Lincoln Way East where a number of street lights were turned off several
years ago, stating that this intersection was hazardous from a pedestrian standpoint.
After conferring with Mr. Qualls, the Board decided to re -light two boulevard lamps
at this intersection, one on the south side and the other on the north side,. and
asked Mr. Qualls to so notify the Indiana & Michigan Electric Company.
✓Mr. Qualls reported on a petition of residents in the vicinity of RVing Avenue
and Franklin Street, requesting street light, in which he stated that from the
present lighting of that district he would not recommend the installation. His
report is on file in the office of the Board of Public Works; in which the Board
concurred.
Mr. Qualls reported on the petition of fifteen residents in the vicinity of
Donmoyer and Fellows Streets, stating that his investigation showed that this
district needed more light and recommended that a 2500 lumen lamp be installed.
The Board concurred in this report and Mr. �-ualls is requested to so notify the
Indiana. & Michigan Electric Company.
Mr. Qualls reported on petition of Mr. F. E. Shambleau, requesting the re-
lighting of a lamp now desk at 1215 East Wayne Street. Mr. Qualls' report was that
the lights in this vicinity are staggered and the volume of light is quite ample
to supply the actual need, but that when the budget justifys increasing the lighting
facilities in the City, this petition might be considered.
,/ Mr. Qualls submitted blue prints furnished by the Indiana Bell Telephone
Company, outlining a plan for a general overhauling -of their entire outside plant
in South Bend, which is merely replacements and re -arrangement. The only new
construction is shown on prints 35, 64 and 75. Mr. Anderson, City Civil Engineer,
after viewing these prints approved the arrangement and the prints are all on file
in the office of the Board of Public Works.
The meeting adjourned at 11:00 A. M.
