July 21st.1920 Board of Public Works, South Bend, Indiana. 1 Gentlemen: - I will be out of the city -tonight or would attend t)to,,zeet ing of Your Board with reference to the paving of N. Michigan Street. For your information I am inclosing herewith a letter just received from Mr. Bryan I am -of the opinion that alarge portion of the frontage on this street is dpposed to any expensive pavement at this time. I believe Mr.. Leighton, the street commissioner, could put this street in good condition leveling up the holes and then a top dressing oiled once or twi** a year would keep the dust out. In view of the fact ..that the street car company will not put in a permanent improvement I certainly - ,do not favor building a curb. Yours truly, THOS. W.
