Div. Eng. of the Wabash Ry., appeared before the Board, to consider the petition receiv-
ed by the Common Council and referred to the Board of Public Norks and Safety, asking
that a footbridge be constructed across the railroad tracks at either Brookfield, Grant
or Jackson Sts., to enable the children attending Washington High School to cross these
tracks in safety. After discussing the matter, it was decided that the railroad
companies would eliminate all switching at the Olive St., and the Ford St., crossings
between 7:45 A. K. and 8:15 A. M., to enable the children to cross at these points
without being held up, and that the train which now switches in the yards at 8:00 A. M.
would be scheduled to do the switching at 5:00 A. M. instead.
Mr. Stanley Gezeskowiak, 2505 a. Monroe St. one of the signers of the petition was
present and the Board asked him to check on this and see if by making these changes,
the children would be benefitted and the situation remedied.
It was decided that since a construction program as requested by the petitioners
would incur a financial burden upon the City, for which no funds are available, that
this plan be observed by the railroad officials and the petitioners for a period of
• time and determine its effectiveness.
The Board approved the plan for the sewer extension on Bissell St.,from the West line
of.N. Sunnyside 2nd Addition to Tyckenham Dr.
Continuation certificates were received for Thomas L. Hickey on his excavation bond
and also for the Distler Plumbing and Heating Co., Mishawaka, Ind., on their excavation
