<br />i <br /> <br />TUESDAY <br /> <br />APRIL 24, 1973 <br /> <br />along Barrows Mill Road, from Clearview Drive to existing curb-and-gutter at <br /> <br />the Clearview School access road, for which right-of-way is being donated to <br /> <br />the City. <br /> <br />A special committee, considering a request for construction of additional <br /> <br />tennis courts, reported that--after much study of locations and available <br /> <br />sites and taking into account that tennis court construction and usage favors <br /> <br />the battery concept--it now recommends the construction of six new courts <br /> <br />near or adjacent to existing courts near Martinsville High School, proposing <br /> <br />that two such courts (estnnated to cost between $16,000.00 and $17,000.00) <br /> <br />be constructed during the 1973-1974 budget year and the other four courts <br /> <br />during the succeeding two budget years; whereupon, Council indicated that <br /> <br />consideration would be given this recommendation during the preparation of <br /> <br />the City's 1973-1974 budget.
