<br />}4 <br /> <br />THURSDAY <br /> <br />OCTOBER 29. 1959 <br /> <br />Council agreed to view the property and terrain along Smith Road as a part of its <br />consideration of the curb-and-gutter-and-widening request, meanwhile suggesting <br />that study be given towards improving and controlling traffic movement along <br />Fayette Street. Council, then, by a recorded and unanimous vote, appropriated <br />from its General Fund Emergency Account the sum. of $850.00 for the employment <br />of a ttpatrolmother" for the remainder of the current school year. <br /> <br />City Manager Hirst and Mr. Wilbur Doyle, of Doyle Ready-Mix Concrete Company, Inc., <br />reviewed a contract between the City and Mr. Doyle's firm--executed in May of 1956- <br />in connection with the Doyle request that Council release the Doyle Company from <br />the portion of the contract providing for a right-of-way easement to the City from <br />Brookdale Street (Old Danville Road) around the southeast boundary of the Doyle <br />property. Council took no action on the release request-indicating that it will <br />withhold action on said request pending the presentation of definite plans for the <br />development of the entire Doyle property-but did agree to view the property in an <br />effort to determine the value to the City of the right-of-way easement. <br /> <br />Mayor Shultz, reporting on his re cent meeting with the Henry County Board of <br />Supervisors in connection with a suggestion that a joint airport development <br />commission be established, informed Council that the Board of Supervisors instructed <br />County Connnonwealth's Attorney Kenneth Covington to confer with City Attorney Taylor <br />towards the preparation of an organizational plan for such a commission. <br /> <br />Upon motion, duly seconded and unanimously carried, Council expressed its <br />appreciation to the Appalachian Power Company for its recent comprehensive <br />appraisal of the City's electric utility system--conducted at Council's inv1<tation-- <br />and, also, rejected the purchase offer for the system submitted by' Appalachian on <br />August 25, 1959, instructing City Manager Hirst to so advise Appalachian by letter. <br />
