<br />owners. The City Engineer was called upon to explain the situation and Mr. Clubb
<br />reported that the proposed lane would have approximately at25% grad~ w,hich is very,
<br />very steep. . Councilman Farrington reported that the members of the ]inance Committ e
<br />and Councilman Barette had been up and looked the situation over and it was their
<br />report that the request should be denied because of the steepness of the proposed
<br />lane which would create a perpeutal hazard. After further discussion the matter
<br />was referred to the City Engineer to see if there was some possible way of extending
<br />,a lane for this service, but yet one that would be safe. Mr. Clubb was to report
<br />3 back at the next meeting.
