Mt.Phelps stated that he personally had paid $600.00 to have these streets put in shape to be expended 12 ye~m'a ago, and said very little money had been spent since for their upkeep. He did not feel that the property o~mers should be penalized for this neglect. HOwever, after an explanation by Mr.~ay that it was necessary to correct some of the faults of the original grading before oiling could be done, it was finally agreed that a char~ of ten cents per foot of abutting property to the owners was fair and equitable.

Mt.Ray explained that 12~ls street had been accepted some t~- ago, but that no money had been spent by abutting property cruets. He said that the records show that streets and subdivisions have been brought to grade and sUrfaced with a reasonable amOunt of graniSe or oll at the expense of the property owners. ~Lr.Ray estimated the cost to the ownerS of five cents per square foot and requesl~d authority from the council to spend an extra three or four cents per sqUare foot, so that a heavier type of surface could be installed, thereby reducing future maintenance cost. ~ further explained that the matter of not allowing parking on the north side of "E' Street, may have to be enforced within the near future, ~nd that both Mr.P~lm~r and M~r.Hendren were thus informed before their investments were ~fter much discussion in which Councllw~ Kidder expressed his displeasure over the Lurprowment of a short dead-end street, it was mo~d by Councilman Burnside, seconded by Councilm-~ Keithley, and carried, that the city proceed with the grading and sUrfacing of that portion of Landis Street on which the proper deposits by the property owners had been made.
