EGULAR MEETING MARCH 11, 1957 <br />investigated: In reference to Councilman Muszynski's request for investigation of the junk yard at 2214 W. Dunham <br />St. the manager of the Mid -City Iron and Supply Company was contacted in person by Sgt. Richard Podell. The manager <br />Mr. Donald Martin Wasserman of 415 S. 26th St. has informed the Sergeant of the following: <br />He has layed -off all his help due to bad business conditions. However, he has hired the South Bend Exter- <br />minating Company to survey and exterminate the rodents mentioned. In reference to the grade of junk over- <br />flowing the sidewalk that situation has been taken care of and the walks are clean. <br />In reference to the report of sewer rats found in the vicinity of the 1300 block of West Grace St. the <br />South Bend Exterminating Company is exterminating for this condition. <br />In reference to the complaint of the Filling Station owned by Frank Fogarty, 1536 S. Main St. the owner <br />was informed by Sergeant Podell to clean up. In conforming with this request the owner had all excess <br />junk removed and is building a picket fence around the back portion of the station. He is also in the <br />process of painting and redecorating. The progress is already very pleasing and noticeable. <br />Very truly, <br />F.R.Nicholas Carter, M.D. <br />Health Officer <br />CC: C. Muszynski <br />A. Tellson <br />Councilman Hahn made a motion that the report be accepted and placed on file. Councilman Carr seconded the motion. <br />Motion carried. <br />ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT <br />TO THE MEMBERS OF THE COMMON COUNCIL: <br />As per your request the City Engineer's office made a thorough investigation and found that side walks are needed <br />along Humboldt Street. However it resolves itself in the following way: New sidewalks can be had any time that <br />the abutting property owners are willing to pay for them. All sidewalks in the city are built and paid for by the <br />property owners. Furthermore some requests have been made by pproperty owners but they insist on putting the walks <br />adjacent to the curb in order to give them more yard. This would not line up with other side walks in that area <br />which are three feet from the curb. I feel that the walks along Humboldt should be at least three feet from the curb <br />also because in all probability Humboldt Street may have to be widened before too long. Locating sidewalks next to <br />the curb in such a manner is hazardous to children walking along going to school as it is so easy to step off the <br />sidewalk into the street. I feel that the sidewalks on Humboldt street should as much as possible adhere to the. <br />same pattern as other streets in the vicinity. <br />R. A. Andrysiak <br />City Engineer <br />Councilman Carr made a motion that the report be accepted and placed on file. Councilman Tellson seconded the <br />motion. -Motion carried. <br />STREET DEPARTMENT <br />MEMO: 0: South Bene Board of Public Works <br />Mrs. Freda Noble , City Clerk <br />SUBJECT: Patching <br />In compliance with request made by the South Bend Common Council through the Board of Public Works, we are pleased to <br />report as follows: <br />Our patching crews are_,working in the vicinity of Vassa, Humboldt, California, Wilber and Johnson streets as well as <br />other areas in the City patching holes as frequently and as swiftly as weather permits. All men not urgently needed <br />on other specific jobs have been assigned to patching chuck -holes for the past month and a half with an equal number <br />of crews relegated to each section in town. <br />During the month of February, a total of 346.58 tons of patching asphalt were used on South Bend streets as compared <br />to 179 tons used in the month of February in 1956, or nearly double the amount a year ago. <br />We will continue to patch as long as weather permits and will.pay close attention to all sections of town as well as <br />the area mentioned above. <br />Respectfully submitted, <br />/s/ Dan W. Richardson <br />Dan W. Richardson <br />Street Commissioner <br />Councilman Hahn made a motion that the report be accepted and placed on file. Councilman Christman seconded the <br />motion. Motion carried. <br />POLICE DEPARTMENT <br />Officers Report 3 -9 -57 <br />Attention Chief Dutrieux: <br />it Freda Noble (For rpt to Council 3- 11 -57) <br />The City Council .requested a report on two items for Monday 3- 11 -57: <br />#1 Report of Trucks traveling East to Greenlawn on E.
