<br />10 <br /> <br />TUESDAY <br /> <br />JANUARY 8, 1963 <br /> <br />",- <br /> <br />Council acknowledged receipt of a petition--for future consideration--submitted <br /> <br />by residents of Highland Ridge Avenue, requesting the construction of curb-and-gutter <br /> <br />(on a shared-cost basis) by the City on this street. <br /> <br />Subject to City Attorney Cubine's approval as to phraseology and legality, Council <br /> <br />approved an easement agreement permitting the Southwestern Virginia Gas Company to <br /> <br />cross City-owned property on the south side of Smith River with a gas transmission <br /> <br />line to serve customers which might locate in the City's Industrial Park. The <br /> <br />property in question was described as that purchased (in January, 1960) from Mr. <br /> <br />O. B. Hedgecock for a sewage disposal plant site. The Southwestern Virginia Gas <br /> <br />Company stipulated and agreed that, upon notice by the City or a subsequent owner <br /> <br />of the property, it would remove any gas lines constructed across the property. <br /> <br />Upon recommendation of City Manager Hirst, Council authorized the constructing of <br /> <br />additional transformer-bank capacity in the City's electric substations, at an <br /> <br />estimated cost of $60,000-$70,000 for which funds are available, to meet present <br /> <br />and anticipated demands upon the City's electric system. <br /> <br />- <br /> <br />Mr. J. L. Adams, manager of the local H. L. Green Company store at the corner of <br /> <br />Main and Franklin Streets, renewed his complaint (of December 21, 1962) pertaining <br /> <br />to the condition of pedestrian signal lights at the corner of Main and Walnut <br /> <br />Streets and at the corner of Main and Franklin Streets. <br /> <br />- <br /> <br />Mr. William B. Muse, and others, appeared before Council and (1) inquired as to the <br /> <br />cause of electric power interruption, which occurred in December, 1962, and (2) <br /> <br />suggested that a traffic signal be installed at the intersection of Beaver Street <br />and Memorial Boulevard North. <br /> <br />Council was adjourned. <br /> <br /> <br />.-.".t1\..-.,--.J <br /> <br />"f Cnuncil <br />
