<br /> On motion of Nm. Stewart, the appropriation was laid on the table until the next regular
<br />meeting of oounoil.
<br /> 3rd. "I respectfully recommend that Elm Ave. from Hig~ to South St. be widened wit? inte-
<br />gral curves. The pavement is now 18 ft. wide ~ud will reoumre 6 ft. on either side which will
<br />make it 30 ft. wide, also to change the High Bt. radius, at mu approximate cost of $6,655.00.
<br /> There is a balance inthe Street Improvement Bond Fund of $10,127.82 and I recommend
<br /> that the amount be taken from this fund, which is available.~
<br /> On motion, the appropriation was laid on the table until the next r~gmlar meeting of
<br /> 0ouncil.
<br /> 4th. '"I respectfully recommend that the parked a~ea on Washington St. between High and
<br /> County ets; be p~ved with asphalt with concrete base. In recommending this, it is necessary
<br /> that drainage be considered in order to take care of the additional burden put on the present
<br /> drain by the run-off from the large roof areas of the buildings in that vicinity ~ud possible
<br /> new buildings.which no doubt .will be e~ected in the future, which'will make stomm conditions
<br /> worse on Washington St. at King, High ~ud ~ueen Sts., du~ing extraordinary rains.
<br /> It will ~herefore be necessary that an appropriation of $15,000.00 be made to take
<br /> care of these drains~e-conditioms a~also~to pave the parked area. This c~mu~er has been in
<br /> b~d shape for a good many.years and I beli~ve-~he work should be done at this time. The present
<br /> 30" terra' ootta pipedrain extends from High and Washington to thecreek north of Hampton Place.
<br /> it is proposed to construct an ~dditional concrete pipe from a point north of High St. to the
<br /> creek north of Hampton Place. The total length of this new drain will be approximately 1~O0 ft.
<br /> It will be c~oss-connected with the present drain at several points with 36" pipe. Six manholes
<br /> and the necessary catch basins will have to.be constructed in connection with this project. The
<br /> proposed drain Will be constructed in the grass-plots, therefore eliminating the necessity of
<br /> cutting up either the existing sidewalks or the existing pavements except at the intersections
<br /> with cross streets. T~ere is a balance of $39,395.96 in the New Sewerage Fund. I see no reason
<br /> why this appropriation should not come from this fund."
<br /> the s~pprop~iation was lald on the table until the next regular meeting of
