CITY MANAGER°S REPORT
The construction of Chestnut Street is now completed with the
exception of a sand seal course which will be placed after the street
has been in use for several weeks. Lake Avenue, from Lake Shore
Drive to Seminole and Ramie Road have been sand sealed and some street and
alley work done in the Blue Goose packing house area. Approximately
one hundred and fifty feet of Anderson Street, from Desoto southward
has been salvaged by sealing and a gravel course.
The majority of the water samples taken from the test well have
been satisfactory. In my opinion we should proceed with digging a well
in this area and it is my recommendation that our engineers be authorized
to advertise for bids.
We will have bids for sanitary garbage packers at our next
meeting, Following the opening of these bids I will submit to you a
revised budget for the fiscal year 1968-69. This recommended budget
will need early consideration as our next fiscal year will soon start.
Representatives of the Drive -In Theatre met with Mayor Smith,
Superintendent Sheldon and myself to discuss the drainage problems.
It rained very hard during the inspection and they now realize the
necessity for home action. They have advised that an effort will be
made towards finding a solution.
