<br />countant, at $300.~00 for preps.ration of .~cost report in. connection with the informal ~ppr~isal
<br />of the Norfolk County ferries, is requested and a special appropriation of $300.00 for this
<br />purpose, recomm~e~ded.
<br />
<br /> Action at the present meeting of the Council is suggested, as the County has already

<br /> 16th. "I regret to ~ounce the death of Er~ W. Jones Williams, Justice of the Peace,
<br />which occurred on August loth, 1924.~
<br /> On motion, the notice was ordered to be filed.
<br />
<br /> l?th. "I ~m forwarding herewith petition cf certaiu res%dents of Linden Ave., protesting
<br />against the~paving of that street with penetration macadam and asking that it be either paved
<br />with asphalt or concrete, or that the ~ving be delayed.
<br />
<br /> t previously expressed the view that it was an error to pave resident streets with
<br />so exoensive a pavement as sheet asphalt. Linden Ave. is a dead-ended street over which the
<br />traffic w~ll be light and purely local, and I believe that penetration m~c~iam of the same
<br />kind as is being used in Port Norfolk and proposed for West Park View will give good satis-
<br />faction for m~uy years.
<br />
<br /> I therefore recommend that the plan to p~ve Linden Ave. with penetration m~cadam
<br />be ahered to, and that the Olerk of the Oouncil inform the petitioners o~ the reasons for this
<br />decision."
<br />
<br /> On me,ion of Mr..White, the communication was referred b~ok to the City M~ager for
<br />conference with the petitioners.
