<br />l{eve that the territory proposed to be served by ~routes #l thigh tt~u~t7 He~on~d rou~e
<br />~S (Tru~ton) is now adequ~tel~ served by the Virginia Railw&y ~ P&wer~C~mD~. hnd ~o'net
<br /> ~ ~ _ou~es. I ~lso reco~end ~ ordin~nce~to ~e~d ~nd re,ordain
<br />therefore recom~nend these two ~ ~ _
<br />'An'0r~in~nce te Amend ~ud Re-ordain Section ~, Section 8, Section ~, Sec$ib~ 10,'of an 0r~inance

<br />City ~f Portsmouth, Virginia,~ adopted by the Cit~y Council ~uly 5th, t~2S, am amended," by
<br />adding to the ~oproved routes Route ~B as reconnuended by the Transportation Supervisor~~
<br />
<br /> On motion of Er. Stewart (R.E.B.), the privilege of the floor was granted te any one
<br />present~in~ere~ted in this m~tter.
<br />
<br />Geo. A. Eelvin ~nd ~o~ H. Shearin spoke as to the petition.

<br /> 8th. "~ith reference to the recommendation ~er the paving of High Street,west of Chest~
<br />nu~ Street, m~de by the Portsmouth Chs~uber of Ce~erce, attention~ is' i~vited to,he f~% that
<br />unless provision is ~de ~t the same time for the paving~ of the portion Of the street occupied
<br />b~ the tracks of the Virginia Rmilv~y and Power Ccmps~v, two objectienmble diffic~lties will
<br />present themselves.
<br />
<br /> 1. ti .the central ~o~i~en o~ the s~reet is le~t unpaved, rain ~all~nE on the u~aved
<br />portion will find m~ts way u~der the paved pertmons~sat~ura zng the suB-grade and tend~ te
<br />ca, se the destructmon of the concrete foundation due to the settlement.
<br />
<br /> 2. The cross section of the present p~vement is not properly designed, the side slopes
<br />being to~ steep. If these ~lepes are given the prope~ inclination, the track~ of the' Virginia
<br />R~ilw~y'and ~ower Company will be left ~t a highe~ elevatie~ than She a'_d~ace~t pave~nt. 'Even
<br />gr~nted, therefore,,th~t a way could be found by the Fin~uce ~ommittee to provide fund~ fo~ this
<br /> ws~k,~ it would be~dvisable to undertake it ~util ~u agreement h~d been ~eached with the trac-
<br />%~on company so as te mnsure that the paving of the portion of thg :street occupied by their
<br />tr~cks should be undertaken simultaneously with the rest ef the work?
<br />
<br /> ~'. Broo~s moved that the City ~n~ger make ~ throu-~ test of the co~nditien of uDDer
<br />Hig~a stree~ ~nd repem% back to the Council. The motion woos adopted~
<br />
