FIRE DEPARTMENT:
Fire Chief, Richard J. Duck, being present, brought to the attention
of the Board, the need to secure signed contracts from the Trustees and
their Advisory Board, of Portage and German Townships,for the ensuing
year. The Chief pointed out that these contracts, based on 10� per $100.00
of the assessed valuation of the property'of the area so protected, is
actually, in his opinion, insufficient to cover actual cost to the City of
South Bend for the service rendered. The Board directed the Clerk to
Proceed to submit contracts for the continuing of this fire protection
service.
The Board next took up the matter of the claim of the Gamewell Company
covering equipment supplied'in accordance with contract signed October 27,
1952, (Purchase Order BVV4L.6 ), and it was agreed that full
A
is to be made by the City of South Bend, and the Clearing House tAssociation
billed by the City, for their proper portion of the cost of this equipment.
The Clerk was directed to proceed accordingly.
The Report of the South Bend Police Department for the month of
November was examined and ordered filed.
There being no further business to come before the Board, the meeting
adjourned at 10 :50 A. M.
