F. Smith, Urban Engineer for the State Highway Department <br />indicated by letter that the Department of Highways would conduct a survey, <br />which would include planning preparation, of the proposed widening if the <br />City would contribute fifty per cent (50%) of the estimated cost of $2,000.00; <br />whereupon, Council unanimously authorized the expenditure on the City's part <br />of said fifty per cent, or $1,000.00, for said survey and planning preparation, <br />transferring this amount from its General Fl.J1Jd Emergency Account. <br /> <br />Next, City Mana.ger Mathewson rendered a verbal report on the Paving Division's <br /> <br />operations for the current season, reporting that the work done by this <br /> <br />division this yea.r was most successful, having saved the City at least $23,000.00, <br /> <br />as compared with an estimated saving of $18,000.00 at contract prices when the <br /> <br />1953-54 budget was adopted. <br /> <br />Through City Manager Mathewson, Council also received a written review and <br /> <br /> <br />report of the Recreation Department's 1952-5.3 program, and, in appreciation, <br /> <br />Council commended Recreation Director David Russell for his work and successful <br /> <br /> <br />efforts as reflected in said report. <br /> <br />As a result of reported mis-use and abuse of the City Park on East Church <br /> <br /> <br />Street, Council requested City Attorney Stone to draft a proposed ordinance <br /> <br /> <br />establishing "curfew" hours and other regulations for the Park. <br />
