City Engineer, Lloyd Taylor read communications from the Indiana State Highway Commission, which explained that the reason for the no parking restrictions was due to the fact that the improvement was being paid out of Federal funds. In order to be eligible for the funds, the Indiana State Highway Commission would have to comply with all restrictions issued by the Federal Government, one of which stipulated that there would be no parking in this area. Edward A. Olczak, Attorney, speaking in behalf of small businessmen on Western Avenue, supported Mr. Szymkowiak's claim that the prohibition of parking would force small businessmen in that location out of business. He also informed the Council that he had visited the Governor's office in Indianapolis and been informed that since federal funds were no longer to be used, the Indiana State Highway Commission would not now have to conform to the original restrictions. Mr. Taylor and City Attorney, Robert J. DuComb stated they have had no communication to that effect. It was decided that Mr. DuComb would communicate with the Indiana State Highway Commission requesting an official statement. There being no further business to come before the Council, Councilman Allen made a motion to adjourn. Councilman Geib seconded the motion. Motion carried. Time: 10:20 P.M.
