Honorable Board of Public Works, South Bend, Indiana, Gentlemen:- MISHAWAKA AVENUE, Referring to our recent communicatioZi relative to the present condition of the Miahwaaka Xvenue pavement, we wish to advise that your problem is in no way different than that of probably every 4her'large city in the United States. I aan refer you to a great many cities whose pavements, laid prior to the conelusimn of the World War, have rutted and displaced to an alarming degree due almost entirely to the very vapid increase in motor traffic. both as to the number of _vehicles and to weight- of same. This d#splacement of the r pavements is not confined to any one particular type. Even the more rigid and expensive pavements; such as granite block brick, Portland cement concrete and creosoted block., have failed where the.volume of traffic has an greatly increased during the past three years. Your Mikkawaka Avenue Pavement, construct in 1917, was not dedgiud try .carry the tremendous volume of traffte it is now ebli ed to carry the to to of -the since theoanclusion othe war, With the improvement of additional east and west thoroughfares, much of the heavyv traffic now confind to Mishawaka Avenue will be diverted to other streets and this it 11 have a very'great tendency to improve the present condition, of the Mikawaka Avenue pavement in the years to ome. Your city is fortunate that the dis�placemat of this pavement haef not taken thefbrm of pushing , or creeping, a ocir:,rd in ;many other cities: Had this occured, your pavement would have been prweticd4r impassable for any but very sleet moving vehicles. Very truly yours, .Mr.. G. A Elliott ISAAC VAN TRUMP President. , e City Engineertook up the matter of manholes rebuilt -on Indiana Avenue Trunk sewer -by George Pontarelli, and explained:abou the condition of, manhole at Webster Arnold and McPherson Street not be built'deep enough and the } Board instructed th'e City Eng sneer to spread the cost of 55. ordered in extra portionatel 00 for manholes y on the roll as the cost ofhe sewer.
