<br />CITY OF SOUTH BEND
<br />South Bend, Indiana
<br />HUMAN RELATIONS COMMISSION
<br />October 5, 1971
<br />Mr. James A. Bickel
<br />City Controller
<br />County -City Bldg.
<br />South Bend, Indiana
<br />Dear Mr. Bickel,
<br />The rumor control phone now located in the Human Relations Office is no longer
<br />being paid for by the South Bend Tribune. They've ceased paying for this phone as
<br />of April 1971 and the commission has voted to retain this phone because of its im-
<br />portanct to the South Bend Community. We have incurred a bill of $124.70 as of
<br />Oct. 25, 1971. The total bill for the fiscal year 1971 at a rate of $19.40 per
<br />month will be $163.50. Please allocate this amount from our Account #363 for the
<br />payment of these phone bills.
<br />Also please see to it that a sum of $232.80 is allocated from Account #363 for
<br />this phone for fiscal year 1972.
<br />Thank you,
<br />/s/ 0. T. Bergeron
<br />0. T. Bergeron, Chairman
<br />Human Relations Commission if
<br />Mr. Bickel stated that he advised Mr. Mullins that we could do nothing about this phone bill for
<br />1972 until next year.
<br />Miss Guthrie inquired where Mr. Mullins has been since April, if the TRIBUNE discontinued paying
<br />this phone bill in April. General discussion among the Council members conveyed that the rumor
<br />control phone service was helpful and a crime deterrent. Councilman Janet Allen moved for
<br />adoption of the resolution, seconded by Councilman Grounds. The resolution was adopted by a
<br />roll call vote of 8 ayes (Councilmen Laven, Allen, Reinke, Craven, Grounds, Szymkowiak, Wise and
<br />Zielinski), 1 nay (Councilman Palmer), 0 absent.
