Job to a bid call this fall, we have. eliminated the <br /> pumping station construc.tion and installatio.n. of the lift pumps. However, we are <br /> advertising. for these. pumps and will call for the second and final contract early <br /> next spring. The completion of the piping sys.tem will depend largely on weather <br /> conditions this fall but we hope to be. in a position to accept petitions .for lateral <br /> sewer lines in the West-side area by next summer. The completion of this contract <br /> will practically complete the sanitary trunk sewer net work which was undertaken in <br /> 1946. <br /> I should also like to report at this time that preliminary: plans on the Amazon <br /> project for the area within the City limits are being prepared by the Army Engineers <br /> and should be ready to submit to the Council. for its consideration.. at an early date." <br /> It was moved by Crumbaker, seconded by Hawn that the report of the Manager be re- <br /> ceived and placed .on file.

A r,equest. from. Mrs. Cora I.

There. exist.s to the rear of this building a small house which. is a part of <br /> the property and 1s joined to the building in front by an apartment which is above <br /> the roof-line. Below. this apartment is an area evidently used for garage purposes, <br /> which Mrs. Pirtle also wishes to make over into an apartment. <br /> The Board of Appeals recommends that this request be referred to the <br /> Planning Commission for rezoning. <br /> There is neighborhood protest against this project. <br /> ~ <br />
