<br />easement to properly pipe the ditch. It will cost $1,450.00 for 36 inch pipe and approximately $2,820.00 to
<br />install.

<br />that the property owner purchase the pipe and the City install the same. The Director of Public Works advises

<br />
<br /> Th~ West ~S~de ClVlC League~ went on record as ~pposed to the suggestion made by Mayor
<br /> Smith that the City Council meetings be held during the daytime in lieu of night sessions as has been-the practic~
<br /> for year. To change the regular CiSy Coune, it meetings,:fr/om~daytime ~meetings-would tend to decrease the attendanc~
<br /> and create an_ uninformed citizenry.
<br /> Daytime meetings would not be fair to the present of future Councilmen who-find it nec-
<br />essary To work dusting the day for a livelihood.
