<br /> 4th. ,Merchauts on High ~%. have general'ly co-operated with the American Legion in a
<br />proposal to ca~ry out a permanent flag decoration scheme in the business ~etion. I believe
<br />that the 0fry should join in this plan. 0c-operation by the 0ity will require the installation
<br />of fifteen sockets amd flags i~ front.of the 0zty s prqper~y a 0curt and High and Washington
<br />sad High ets. The cost of this will be approximately $100.00.
<br /> With the authority of the 0ouncil, the expenses may be def~myed from either ou~
<br />sidewalk funds or repairs to permanent streets.
<br />
<br /> Approval is recommended."

<br /> On motion, the recommendation was referred to Fi~moe 0ommittee.

<br />
<br /> 8th. #~ beg to sub,fit herewith detailed estimat~ of cost of pavimg and installing storm
<br />drains ~nd s~wers on High'St.

<br /> Total cost of paving ~

<br /> Grand total for High St. ......................... I59,667.00
<br /> The estimated cos~ ~r the paving of Elm Ave. between High St. and the George Wash-
<br />ing~en Highway placing sh~e~msDhal~ between High ~nd South Sts., sheet asph.alt topping, from
<br />South St. to Duke St., repairing base sad ~topping oetween I~Ake and Linc21u~s.,~.repairlng.
<br />pene~tion, m~cadam between Linc~ and Jefferson St~. sad concrete pamzng zrem ~f~ers~n m~
<br />~he George Washington Highway is $62,0QO.QO.~ The ~ost.on. Elm Ars.. could be somewna~ re~uce~
<br />by using ch~Oer ~avement, but in my opinion as ~hms wmll be an important highway only the best
<br />paving should be used.
<br />
<br /> tt is obvious therefore that the last bond issue amounting to $200,000.00 will
<br />not be s~fficient to pave, sewer and drain High St. sad pave Elm Ave. between High St. andthe
<br />George Washington highway. It is my opinion sad recommendation that we proceed with the p~ving
<br />of High St. 'as soon as an ~greement can be arrived at with the Virginia Railway and Power Oo.
<br />The paving of Elm Ave. ~should be deferred until additional funds are provided."
<br />
<br /> On motion, the communication was referred to the Finance Committee.
