The Brookings City Council made another r o u n d on the p o ss ibility of "Just getting a start ” on the street paving program for Brookings next summer. The discussion was parclplta- ted by the Planning Commission recommendation that the city initiate street surfacing, at the cost to the property owners of 30$ a front foot. It was recom mended that the city crew do the work, and the 30$ figure would pay for the m aterials. The planning com m ission also recommended that it be done as much as possible on a volunteer basis. The project would Include a heavy oil surface, which would not be permanent, but would bibid down dust, and would be a base for future work. It was discussed that it would be the only plan within the finan cial reach of the people at thia tim e. It was the general opinion o f the council that "we've got to make a start". Thereactlon of the council wan that there would be difficulties making the paving on a volunteej b asis, and said that it probably would have to be done on a sp ec ial assessm ent district b asis. The planning com m issions idea was to get the people interested down to sign up, so that it could be determined who wants partt«. There was also the question of which streets are ready for the work. In conclusion the council nam - ed a com m ittee, consisting of three councIlmen, and two plan ning com m ission members to work with Bill Spencer to try to determine what streets would be worked on.
