utility, which insufficiency results in the inefficient operation of
the City's water utility and added cost of such operations; and

resources warrants the relocation of the Engineering Department of

Works Administration building to a new facility that is adequately
sized to house the Department; and

North Main Street, South Bend, housing the Main Street Row, are
desirous of leasing such real estate and improvements to the City for

other facilities for rental; and
WHEREAS, said rental at Main Street Row is for a period of two
years for $22,200.00; and

recommended to the Board of Water Works Commissioners of the City of
