<br /> 72-274 The following letter received from Mr. Eddie E. Ellis, 3306 Nelson Street,
<br />was read:
<br />
<br /> "I am writing
<br />Road 3300 block,
<br />center of the road
<br />
<br />this letter on a matter concerning the Telephone Company and Turnpike
<br />which is a single lane highway. The Telephone Company has a hole in the
<br />they work through on the maintenance of the phone wmres.
<br />
<br /> The hours of maintenance is enormous through the week, for the amount of trafficz~hat
<br />goes by this one spot. The curb of the road~ one right-hand side going out of town is full
<br />of "chuck" holes, because of the traffic. So, I suggest this road be widened at least one
<br />lane from Frederick Boulevard to the DMV and a tunnel be furnished on the south side of the
<br />road going out side of town, for the Telephone Company to have access work and their existin
<br />hole in the road be elminated. I hope this will be look into. I've already talked 'to
<br />Mr. Frank Hawkins of Public Works, about this."
