<br /> Chance, 2008 Washington; and G. W. Julian, 995 West 20th all objected to the paving.
<br /> Various reasons they presented were that the street is not a through street, it 'is in
<br /> good condition as it is, paving would increase traffic and hazard for children, and a
<br /> poll taken of the area indicated about four to one were opposed to the paving. Mack
<br /> Thompson, 915 West 20th, spoke in favor of the paving. He asked where the costs would
<br /> fall and was told the entire project, except the paving of intersections, would be
<br /> assessed to owners of abutting properties.
<br /> 38th from Willamette to Knob Hill Lane - Estimated to cost $4;500~. There were no
<br /> written protests on file. Thomas Marlow, 4050 Hilyard Street, said he owns property
<br /> on both sides of 38th in this area and asked postponement of the project until the
<br /> whole area is paved.
<br /> Adams from 3rd to Blair - Estimated to cost $18,500. A petition signed by property
<br /> owners in the area opposing the project was presented - also, a written protest from
<br /> Carl McDowell, owner of property at 4th and Adams. The Public Works Department reported
<br /> several phone calls to the department from owners of property in the area favoring the
<br /> paving. Willard Stradley, owner of property at 886 West 6th; W. E. Heinke, 643-645 Adams;
<br /> I and Adrian J. May, 363 Adams spoke against the project, saying they felt the cost is un-
<br /> jusitifed at this time and that the street is adequate as it is.
<br /> Hayes, 14th to 15th; 15th, Grant to Hayes - Estimated to cost $11,000. A letter was
<br /> presented from Mr. and Mrs. John Ferguson, 1424 Hayes, objecting to the project unless
<br /> location of the Amazon Parkway right-of-way is known. Written approval was received
<br /> from Clifford R. Manerud, owner of property at 15th am Hayes. George Keating, 1943 Onyx,
<br /> and J ames Boyles, 1621 Grant, owners of properties in the area, inquired concerning time
<br /> e schedule for construction of the Amazon Parkway. Mr. Keating urged paving of the streets,
<br /> and Mr. Boyles favored paving the streets if the Amazon Parkway right-of-way will not take
<br /> it out at a later date.
<br /> Ferry from 32nd to 34th - Estimated to cost $10,000. A petition opposing the paving
<br /> and representing four of the properties to be assessed was presented. James Guse,
<br /> 490 East 32nd, protested the paving project. He said he had found only three people on
<br /> the street in favor of it and that he felt the street, being well graveled, is adequate.
<br /> The Public Works Director remarked about the many complaints received by his office on
<br /> the condition of the street.
<br /> Between Garfield and Chambers, Broadway to 11th - Estimated to cost $29,000. One written
<br /> protest was presented from Cora S. Thompson, 1830 West Broadway. Quinten Olson, owner of
<br /> property at 990 and 984 Chambers, said he could see no great need for a new street and
<br /> asked about the approximate cost of the project. He was told the estimated cost at this
<br /> time is $8.80 per front foot.
<br /> I Mr. Anderson moved seconded by Mrs. Hayward to approve the paving projects between Jackson and Madison
<br /> from 24th to 28th; 38th from Willamette to Knob Hill Lane; Hayes from 14th to 15th, and 15th from
<br /> Grant to Hayes; and between Garfield and Chambers from Broadway to 11th.
<br /> In answer to a question, the Public Works Director said the projects anticipated to be accomp~ished
<br /> this summer are 38th from Willamette to Knob Hill Lane and the Hayes and 15th paving.
<br /> Councilman McDonald asked that the project between Jackson and Madison, 24th to 28th, be delayed,
<br /> e since he was not familiar with the problem, and with the permission of Mr. Anderson and Mrs. Hayward
<br /> that project was deleted from the motion.
