The Clerk read the following communication: January 17, 1957 Common Council of�the City of South Bend Gentlemen: I am writing to you as Chairman of Safety for the McKinley School P.T.A. But, I am also writing to you as a Mother who hopes something will be done this time before it is too late. It took a childs life to put a policewoman on a very dangerous intersection and we are hoping to avoid just such an incident at the corner of Colfax and Ironwood Dr. We were promised a 99licewoman, by the police department, for this very dangerous intersection the first of the year but because of the death of the child at St. Joseph School we were not allowed to have the necessary protection because the budget would not allow another woman. An emergency appropriation for additional policewomen now - -- before its too late again - - -- -would be the propor step for the Council to take at this time. Why not think of our children first? After all - -- -they are the future voters of this community. Lets protect them now, so they may grow up to vote. This is not money wasted. Its money well spent. Lets lock the barn before the horse gets out. Very truly yours, Mrs. M. G. Levy 1507 E. Colfax Ave. South Bend, Ind. Councilman Carr made a motion that the Communication be accepted and placed on file. Councilman Erler seconded the motion. Motion carried. REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE To the Common Council of the City of South Bend:
