May or Attest: City Clerk UNFINISHED AND NEW BUSINESS Re: Taft Street Openin By common consent the council at this time again took up the matter of the request to open and grade Taft street between Madison and Monroe Streets and as there were in the audience both opponants and proponents of the proposed opening, any who wished so to do were invited by the Mayor to present their comments at this time. Mr. T. H. Baker, Jr. was the first to respond the invitation of the Mayor and stated that as one of those requesting that the street be opened, he felt that his views on the subject had been quite fully expressed at the last regular session of the council and suggested that opponents of the proposed opening who were present at this session cite their reasons for opposing'this improvement. Mal. J. C. Phillips, Mr. Earl W. Helander and Dr. Ray S. Crist, all of whom were present spoke in opposition to the proposed opening and in addition to Iar. Balser, Mr. Hugh E. Burden who was one of the citizens presenting the original request and Mr. Herman N. Simpson to whom Mr. Burden recently sold his proper•::y affected appeared as proponents of the action requested. Opponents of the proposed opening cited the additional cost,to the city, dust nuis- ance of an unimproved street menace from cross traffic at the'.section of Monroe and Taft streets and damage to value of property,purchased because of protection afforded by trees now standing on street, area. Those desiring the opening presented for consideration matters of present danger to life and property by reason of a dead end street inconvenience occasioned by.having only one access and exit to prooerty,and stated that in view of the progress and improvement: 4r� of that district as an area of nice homes, it would be to the interest of the city to provide for the traffic facilities for residents of that area. Councilman Sullivan presented a motion that one other street be opened to serve the, area under discussdon but this received no second and was therefore not acted upon. Councilman Maroldo moved that the council go on record as recommending that the street s cou-zittee review their report as read before the council earlier in this session and "- after due consideration,present their findings at the next regular session. Councilman Carroll seconded this motion and upon voice vote, the motion eras declared carried. ADJOURNMENT No further business appearing at this time for consideration by the council, it eras moved by councilman Maroldo and seconded by councilman Carroll that the council do now adjourn.
