He complained that the City crews are not plowing or grading that street. There is a great deal of traffic, most of which is city trucks, on that street. Mayor Porter explained that the county was going to put soil cement on that street for us with their equipment. The flood took their equipment and the city hasn't had the funds to pave it. He said the city would pay for their share of the paving if the people in the Ricks Wade Addition would agree to pay for the curb and gutter; which is what is done in the original townsite. Mr. Boice stated that the people may agree to tYiat, however, the city should be able to grade that once in awhile and put some gravel on it so that you could drive down there without tearing up their cars. Councilman Barton Jensen assured Mr. Boice that something would be done with it first thing in the spring. Then they will put a good base under and gravel on the top. Mary Smith said if they petitioned in a hurry they would be able to get on the LID now being put together. ~ RE: ZONE CHANGE HEARING Zone change hearing. 8:00 P. M.
