~M~NKAT0 PETITION: There having been a petition to repair and surface
M~nkato Street presented at the last council meeting, and there being astral
petitioners present at this meeting, discussion followed as to procedure and cost
for grading and oiling. 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. Council and all present agreed on
this figure, ~nd ~.Ray was instructed to proceed with the repair as soon as the
deposits were in.
~s.Hubbard and kit.Leslie Hendren appeared before council, requesting that
Landis Street North of "E- Street, be graded and oiled, which brought up the question
again of the necessity for abutting property owae~ to share in the cost of gr~ling
~nd surfacing. 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.
BILL BOA1E~: ~r. Leslie Hendren aud Mfs.Hubbard objected strenuously to
the matter of Bill HOards being placed on "E" Street, Just west of Third Avenue, but
were told by Mt. Ray that, under the present Ordinance, Bill Boerds in business

board in question met all of the terms of the existing Ordinance.
