TO: The Members of the Common Council
of the City of South Bend, Indiana
The undersigned respectfully petitions the Common
Council of the City of South Bend to change the name of those
portions of Varsity Drive and Holiday Drive in the City of South
Bend, Indiana, lying North of the North line of Colfax Avenue
to the name of Swanson Circle, and in support thereof, submits
the following:
1. Varsity Drive in theCity of South Bend, extends
from the North line of Marshall Street, Northward past the
North line of Colfax Avenue, where it circles 90 degrees to
the East, and terminates at a point where it meets Holiday Drive,
- midway between Varsity Drive on the West and Holiday Drive on the
East.
2. That Holiday Drive in the City of South Bend,
extends from the North line of Marshall Street, Northward past
the North line of Colfax Avenue, where it circles 90 degrees
to the West, and terminates at a point where it meets Varsity
Drive, midway between Varsity Drive on the West and Holiday
Drive on the East; that each of said streets lie wholly within
Swanson Park Fourth Addition to the City of South Bend, as
platted by the undersigned petitioner.
3. That said portions of Varsity Drive and Holiday
Drive lying North of the North line of Colfax Avenue appear on
the plat of said Subdivision as an inverted "U"; that by reason
thereof it has commonly been described by residents of the
neighborhood as "Swanson Circle "; that the undersigned, C. Harry
Swanson, Inc. or C. Harry Swanson individually is the owner of
all lots fronting upon said two streets, and does not believe
that a change in name to Swanson Circle would cause any incon-
venience or require any change in address.
4. That there is no other street within the corporate
limits of the City of South Bend having the name Swanson, and
that a change of name to Swanson Circle would not, so far as the
undersigned has been able to determine, cause any confusion.
The power to change street names being vested in the
Common Council of this City, this petition is for the reasons above
noted, being respectfully submitted to you.
