Mayor Anderson took this occasion to extend a welcome to visitors at this session y.
and extended an invitation to any present to speak before the Council..
Mr. Harvey Christian, representing City zngineer Keith Jones advised the Council that
with regard to the proposed improvement of portions of f�ashington and Adams Otreets
specifications had been completed and working drawings would be ready within a day or two.
:tr. Christian outlined for the Uouncil the needs and purposes for the proposed 'work and
the development of plans to accomplish this to the greatest benefit for all concerned. '
The estimated cost of the work outlined is approximately-,4,400.00, of which, approximatelyi
$1,400.00 is assessable against the abudding property, leaving an approximate cost to the
city of about $3,000.00. The project as drawn up does not provide for surfacing as it was
considered that in view of the fact the surfacing should be done at a later date such
surfacing should be made a separate project. This report was followed by a short question
and answer discussion.
