L. Amoth and Frank Tubandt. Mr Tubandt has been unable to attend meetings because of employ ment out of the city. Mr. Amoth was elected to the City Council on Nov. 8th and it is with regret that we ask the replacement of so active and helpful a member Should it be decided that Kir Amoth does not take office until Jan 1. we would like to retain him in this commission until that time 4 We ask the city Council to In clude sidewalks on the highway from the Bridge of the Gods to the north end of the school property, both sides in the W PA project 5 The commission recommends that a business zone be set from the Bridge of the Gods to Water Street on both sides of the highway to a depth of 200 feet This zone to be for business only and will exclude the building of any residences in the area 8 We ask the Council to consider the purchase ef equipment such as truck, bulldozer and other necessary tools In conjunction with W PA proj- ect We are mindful of the fact that after the road project is completed the mads must be maintained by the city.
