Citizens Meeting Discusses
Proposition and Requests
Action by Council.
At a meeting nt tho city ball last
evening of pnrtles Interested In for
warding tho proposed boulevard sys
tem, n motion requesting the Mursh
(lold city council to engngo F. K. Get
tlns to cstlmnto tho cost of acquiring
tho property that must bo bought and
also to estimate the cost of putting
In a mnendnm or hard Biirfaco drive
way on the routo wns adoptcll. TIiIb
will bo taken up at tho next meet
ing of tho city council.
Tho meeting was not largely at
tended: Threo of tho membors of
tho council, Messrs. Albrecht, Pow
ers nnd Snvngo wero unnblo to bo
present but tho other membors and
Mnyor Straw woro: J. W. Bennett, .1
II. Flnnngnn, Jny Lawyer, John Klor
nan, M. C Horton, U. T. Street, F.
K. Gcttlns nnd n number of othorH
woro nlso present.
As hns been stated, tho plnn wns
ror tho city to acquire a strip of land
200 feet wldo north nnd south along
tho present city limit lino on the west
from where tho Coqulllo road crosses
Coal Bank Inlet to tho north haund
ary of Marshflold where tho North
Bond council Is to take hold of tho
proposition nnd carry It to the Pony
Inlet brldgo. Also to secure a strip
of In ml 200 or 400 foot wldo extend
lug from the western city limit line
wostorly to n point at or near Tar
heel Point.
Messrs. Lawyer and Klornnn Btnt
cd that thoy would bo willing to cede
to the city a strip through their
property of Biifllclcnt width to muko
a nice boulevard on condition that
tho city Improvo tho rondwny In tho
uenr future. Mr. Lawyer thought
that 200 feot wldo wns probably moro
thnn would bo required or moro than
the city would keep up In nice con
dltlon. Also ho stated that owing to
his company only having n strip 227
feet wide along tho North and South
rond, thoy could not vory woll bo ox
pocted to glvo 100 feet of It for rond
purpnsos.
Somoono wanted to know what tho
city was uxpocted to do In return forlt
.Mr. Lnwyor suggested thnt thoy at
least ought to put In n mnendam
roadway. A countor proposition to
put In a plank rondwny 24 root wldo
wns declared accoptublo by Mr. Klor
nan but Mr. Lawyer Bald that ho
would prefer to wait a llttlo while
and got a pormunont and bottor road
way.
J. W. Bonnott also opposed plank'
Ing and favored tho hard surfaco
road. Ho snld that tnoro was a ques
tlon In his mind ns to whethor the
city had tho right to go out or tho
city limits and expend money for
building or acquiring streets nnd
roads. Someone assured him that
City Attornoy Gobs bolloved thpv
could.
Finnlly Mr. Bonnott stated that If
tho city would Improvo tho highway,
ho ami Mr. Flanagan would glvo a
strip 100 feot wide through their
property If the others would do so.
However, In regard to the east and
west boulevard, he wanted It plncqd
far enough south ho said so that it
would not Interfere with his "colon
baccllll" at tho waterworks reser
voir. C. J. Hlllstrom also owns somo
of tho property affected and said ho
would bo willing to donnto his share
qf the highway providing the city put
in a road or street that was equal to
the value of tho property. Another
property owner near Mr. Hlllstrom
owns a strip 3G6 feet long und 120
feot of which all but a strip twenty
feet wldo would be tak.on by tho pro
posed highway. It was stated that
somo way would have to be. found to
reimburse him for it.
