Paving Crest Drive - It was explained that City initiation of paving Crest Drive from Wil1amette Street to the City limits has been discussed several times in the past but had been postponed. The drive is arterial in nature and serves a large residential area just outside the City limits. It was explained that this area is under pressure from the County and State to annex in order to have sewers installed to solve serious sanitation problems. Discussion brought out the fact that the new enabling State legislation to allow cities to annex adjacent territories because of sanitation problems which cannot be solved otherwise could not be used unless a Charter amendment is ap- proved by the voters. Mrs. Hayward moved seconded by Mr. Anderson to initiate paving Crest Drive. Motion carried, Mr. McDonald voting no.
