<br />Charles E. Gant, employee of 
<br />the 
<br />Bendix Products Corporation, as 
<br />a special 
<br />police officer in and for 
<br />the 
<br />City of South Bend. The Board 
<br />approved 
<br />the appointment and it was, 
<br />accordingly, signed and sealed 
<br />forthwith. 
<br />The Board next reviewed the 
<br />promotions 
<br />-made-in special meeting of 
<br />Tuesday, December 22, 1953, and

<br />of promotions was amended,

<br />, 
<br />Superintendent Ira Hunsbergerts recommendation for the installation of 
<br />a 4000 lumen light at the alley intersection on the east side of Walnut Street, 
<br />between Washington Street and Colfax Avenue, received the approval of the 
<br />Board. 
<br />A petition, dated December 21, 1953, carrying the names of twenty 
<br />Elmer Street residents, requesting improved street lighting at the inter - 
<br />sections of Elmer and Marquette, and Elmer and Hamilton,,was examined 
<br />and referred to Superintendent Hunsberger for investigation and report. 
<br />FIRE DEPARTMENT: 
<br />Fire Chief, Richard J. Duck, being present, brought to the attention 
<br />of the Board, the need to secure signed contracts from the Trustees and 
<br />their Advisory Board, of Portage and German Townships,for the ensuing 
<br />year. The Chief pointed out that these contracts, based on 10� per $100.00 
<br />of the assessed valuation of the property'of the area so protected, is 
<br />actually, in his opinion, insufficient to cover actual cost to the City of 
<br />South Bend for the service rendered. The Board directed the Clerk to 
<br />Proceed to submit contracts for the continuing of this fire protection 
<br />service. 
<br />The Board next took up the matter of the claim of the Gamewell Company 
<br />covering equipment supplied'in accordance with contract signed October 27, 
<br />1952, (Purchase Order BVV4L.6 ), and it was agreed that full 
<br />A 
<br />is to be made by the City of South Bend, and the Clearing House tAssociation 
<br />billed by the City, for their proper portion of the cost of this equipment. 
<br />The Clerk was directed to proceed accordingly. 
<br />The Report of the South Bend Police Department for the month of 
<br />November was examined and ordered filed. 
<br />There being no further business to come before the Board, the meeting 
<br />adjourned at 10 :50 A. M.
