STRONG - RE: PROTESTING PAVING,OF 18TH BETWEEN CHARNEL TON AND LINCOLN WAS SUBMITTED AND READ AS FOLLOWS: 12 13 14 15 ~ "I WOULD LIKE TO SUBMIT MY APPEAL FOR A RECONSIDERATION ON THE PART OF THE MEMBERS OF THE EUGENE C'TY COUNCIL ON THE PAVING PROJECT ON WEST EIGHTEENTH STREET BETWEEN CHARNELTON AND tONCOLN STREETS. I BELIEVE THAT THE CONDITION AND USE OF THE STREET DOES NOT JUSTIFY THE PAVING AT THIS TIME. THE FACT THAT I~ ~UNS ALONG THE BACK OF EUGENE HIGH SCHOOL WOULD MAKE ~HE PAVING OF VERY LITTLE VALUE TO THE SCHOOL, ESPECIALLY SINCE IT SERVES THEM MAINLY AS A PARKING AREA. As FAR AS THE GENERAL PUBLIC IS CONCERNED, THAT PORTION OF EIGHTEENTH STREET IS A SO-CALLED "DEAD END" STREET AT LINCOLN AND IS NPT USED TO ANY GREAT EXTENT. As I UNDERSTAND IT YOU ARE PLAN~ING TO SOME DAY MAKE EIGHTEENTH STREET A THROUGH STREET. AT THAT TIME CERTAINLY THIS BLOCK MUST BE PAVEDj BUT I CANNOT SEE ANY NEED FOR IT NOW. I HAVE TWENTY-FIVE PER CE~T OF THE PROPERTY ALONG THAT BLOCK AND SINCE IT CONSISTS OF A VACANT LOT WHICH COULD NOT STAND THE PAVING. ASSESSMENT, 1 RESPECTFULLY ASK YOU TO WAIT WITH THIS PAVING UNTIL EIGHTEENTH IS MADE A THROUGH STREET."
