Highway 99 North hon, 490.J.3 Corey, Harvard Avenues To Have 40-Foot Width (Continued lrom Page One) with asphalt and placing of curbs was approved with an emergen cy clause, and sealed bids are to be advertised for as soon as they can be prepared. 1 he work has been approved by the Planning Commission. Together with the widening of Military Street, for which the low bid of House and Bell has been accepted by the council, this work will complete the widening of this highway to the city limits, where it will connect with a 35 foot width county road. The coun cil discussed a J5-foot width for Harvard, but decided upon the broader road to conform with the established policy of 40-foot width streets within the city. The i estimated cost for Harvard wide ning will be $8,902, while that lor Corey will be $5,232. An ordinance also for the Im proving of East Washington St. from Chadwick Street to the east line of Donation Land Claim 39 with cement paving was passed. No remonstrances were register ed at the hearing held prior to passing of the ordinance. Action on improvement of East Third Street was deferred until the next Council meeting, as the plans and specifications are not yet prepared. The City En gineer Arthur Boyer reported that because of work being done by the state, on East Second Ave. South, an exact grade can not be established at this time. Split Vote on New Building Construction of a pumic block building alongside the south side of the City Hall to house Police Department cars and motorcy cles was approved after consid erable discussion by a 4 to 2 vote. Councilmen William Adair, Frank Ashley, Jack Hart and Henry Carstens approved the construc tion, while Harrison Winston and Hal Ayotte voted against the mo tion. The principal objections were I not against the need lor such a building to house the equipment, but to constructing too many additions to the present City Hall, which, it is considered, can not serve the city for many more years. Since only $1,500 Is budgeted for construction of the building, and the lowest estimate was $1, S90, the council voted to meet the balance from the street sinking fund, with provision that a por tion of the building he set aside for use by the Street Depart ment. Final action on the matter was made continguent upon whether the additional money from the street sinking fun1 could be leg ally used. The matter will be given further study by the city attorney before the work will proceed. A 12 x 47-ft. building is contemplated. t Bui Stops Protested Protest registered In a letter by Bob Doty, J. H. Taylor and Jack West to the bus stop in front of their places of business on Jackson at Washington Street, was referred to Councilman Ash ley, chairman of the committee pertaining to the bus route, to investigate and make a recom mendation at the next meeting. The protest stated that some per sons waiting for the bus at this loeatlon have assumed the privi lege of waiting Inside the stores to the point where they have become a nuisance, the com plainants pointed out. A le'ter from the Retail Trades Association of the Chamber of Commerce protesting overtime parking In metered zones was referred also to Councilman Ash ley, Police Committee chairman. I Poles To Be Removed ! Robert J. Keefe, 304 E. Rob erts Street, appeared in behalf of a recent petition asking that city-owned property on Thomp son Street near Roberts be made Into a park. The council had prev iously disapproved the proposal. Inasmuch as a park Is planned on the swimming pool property, i Keefe pointed out the principal problem Js that the designated property Is leing used by the Telephone Company for storage of poles. The residents of the district ohlect to this both from the standolnt that It is un sightly," and "unsafe" for child ren who play around the poles. The Telephone Company has been using the pn)erty under verbal lease. The Council, acknowledg ing the proerty owner's request, vttted to terminate the company's leae by the fust of the year.
