J22 TUESDAY DECEMBER 28. 1954 Preparatory to the proposed widening of Memorial Boulevard from the Joseph Martin School property south to the City's corporate limits, the follo"'ing Water-Street Division report and recommendations were received and accepted by Council with the understanding that City Manager Mathewson will present in the immediate future an estimate of the cost of widening Bridge Street from Church Street to Chestnut Street on one side of said Bridge Street: MEMORANDUM December 17, 1954 To: Mr. Walker H. Graves, Director Water, Electric & Street Department Subject: Utility Improvements along Proposed Hemorial Boulevard Extension I have made a study of existing utilities along the proposed extension of Memorial Boulevard from the Joseph Martin School southward along U.S. 220 to the City Limits. The purpose of this study was to determine whether or not the existing six-inch .'ater main which is nmf serving the River Hill and Rivermont Heights area is of adequate size to satisfectorily supply probable future developments in this area and also to determine whether or not the existing eight-inch sewer main which nmf serves the residences and business establishments along U.S. 220 from the intersection of Summit Street and Memorial Boulevard to the Davis Trailor Camp, located outside the city IL~its near Cooper and Ratcliff Grocery. I do not believe that these utilities are of adequate size to allow for probable future developments in this general area, therefore, I am recommending that consideration be given to the installation of the following: I. The construction of an eight-inch water main, beginning at the end of the existing six-inch main located on Douglas Street adjacent to the Joseph Martin School, south\fard along Douglas Street to 1.Jhittle Street, eastward along vlhittle Street to U.S. 220 South, and southward along U.S. 220 to the City Limits; along with cross connections from this water main to the existing six-inch water main at various intervals. 2. The construction of an additional eight-inch sewer mall1 from the intersection of Oak Grove Avenue and U.S. 220 southward along U.S. 220 to the entrance of Davis Trailor Camp, where the sewer line will intercept the existing sewer main.
