REPORT OF PARK DEPARTMENT
Mr. Paul Krueper, Jr.
Councilman Drom Fourth District
South Bend, Indiana
Dear Councilman Krueper:
August 12, 1960
This Department has been notified by the City Clerk's Office that you would like to have a report on the extent of
Dutch elm disease in South Bend and what is being done to curb it.
First I should like to refer you to Chapter 30 of the South Bend Code which is the ordinance coverning trees and
shrubs. This ordinance in substance places the responsibility for the planting, care, trrimming and removal of
trees upon the owner of such real estate. In case of emergency work on the trees or removals may be made by the
Park Department. We estimate such emergencies, caused by storms, cost to the Park Department from $5,000.00 to
$,10,000.00 per year.
I have been sending articles to the newspapers concerning Dutch elm disease since 1955 in order that our citizens
may be made aware of the situation. In 1956 we made a survey.of street treesein South Bend and found that there
were a total of 8,267 American Elms along our streets. At the same time a study in our parks revealed a total of
5,602 American Elm trees. We had only seven cases of Dutch elm disease in South Bend in 1955. Since then the
disease has spread rapidly.
In March, 1956, we requested all licensed arborists and nurserymen to attend a meeting at the Park Administration
Building. At this meeting we explained Dutch elm disease, showed a 20 minute film on the disease and furnished
all persons present with mimeographed directions for -formulations to be used in preventative spraying. We also
set up a reporting system and furnished all licensed arborists with mimeographed forms for such a report. Howe
with no State law or City ordinance to require observance the system failed because of apathy.
For your information I am enclosing some of the mimeographed material furnished to newspapers and arborists.
We requested and received an increase in our Park Budget funds to buy spray materials to be used on elms in our
Parks. However, in spite of our efforts we have presently, by count last week, a total of 104 American elms
which are dead or dying in the parks. These trees are being removed as rapidly as our small forestry department
can handle them. Probably all of the elms which will die this year are already dead or show positive indication,
of the disease. Many of the park dead elms have had a preventative spray. However, this spring was wet, cold and
windy and it was impossible for us to spray all of our park elm trees in the short period when weather was favorably
A check of permits to remove street trees made on August 11th reveals that 234 permits have been issued in 1960 up
to that time for the removal of dead or dying elm trees in the tree and lawn areas. We have no way of knowing how
many have been removed from rear and side yards.
A drive around South Bend will disclose perhaps one hundred or more dead or dying elm trees which have not been
removed at this time. We have approximately fifty calls per week to our office concerning street trees. Not-
withstanding all of the newspaper publicity on this matter a good share of our citizens believe that the cost of
operating a department for trimming and removal of street trees is included in their taxes. Of course this is not
true. If a street tree program were to be adopted this would cost an additional $100,000.00 or more per year.
This estimate is based on the cost of a similar department at Fort Wayne which is called "Tree Preservation"
and had a budget of $120,000.00 in 1960.
In conclusion, information concerning the feasibility of saving the elms by a costly preventative spray program
is highly controversial. Some experts believe that it is a waste of money and all of the elms will eventually die
anyway. There are some that claim the loss can be reduced to approximately three per cent of the total number per
year. A few years ago I was informed that out Indiana State Entomologist recommended that no state legislative
measures be taken to provide an Act for care and removal of elms affected by the disease and so far as I know this
advice was followed.
Very truly yours,

Dear Sirs:
Last Friday, I had need to call on the Howard Park Recreation Department for a supply of athletic equipment for a
large picnic.
I dealt-with a Mrs. Mildred Seick and a Mr. Peter Ranich, and may I say, it was a very pleasant experience. The
attention and interest shown was most gratifying, and certainly rare in this hurried world of ours. I'm also happy
to say they demonstrated that courtesy is not yet completely passe'.
My sincere thanks to these people - and to the Department of Public Recreation for making it possible for us to use
the equipment.
Very truly yours,
/s/ Mrs. T. W. Catt

South Bend, Indiana
Gentlemen:
September 12, 1960
The attached petition of Joseph and Stella Mrozek, to rezone One -Half of Lots 215 and 216, Kaley's 2nd Subdivision,
more commonly known as 501 North Olive Street from "B" Residential Use and f1B" Height and Area District to "C" Com-
mercial Use and "C" Height and Area District was legally advertised on August 22, 1960 and given public hearing
under date of September 8, 1960. The following action was taken:
After due consideration the Commission found that since a commercial establishement has been located upon the

the petition should be granted. It was therefore duly moved, seconded and unanimously carried that the petition
be recommended favorably to the Common Council.
