Don E. smith, , ha rma`n, ✓0 /.-n.e-,k P M.Dollar, Clerk 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. �e6peon September 10, 1968 ACCOUNTS PAYABLE" AUIUST 1968 Standard 04.1 Co. 3r,64 Ii.11toh hook 1400k 70.36 Cities Servi.c,.
