Harry Reese asked why West Fifth Street could not be included in arterial improvements and informed that this was the reason for failure of the previous improvement election. Fred Strange advised that the proposed program is practical~ the same as previous~ subJl'd.tted and nothing will hinder residents from organizing their own L.I.a. where not included, which he hopes they will do. That the ..rterials are borne out by State Origin and Destination Survey, and it is up to the people tG form Districts after the arterials are improved. As for Peabody Street, the State improvement is on~'wish- ful thinking and the City will know before money is spent, and TUIIll{ater Hill will be given the same consid- eration in the proposition as other districts. Requests for submission to the ballot from the Municipal League, Lions Club, and Chamber of Commerce were read and ordered filed. ..... Commissioner Taylor informed that he is not opposing program but before placing on ballot he wants people thorough~ informed so they will know what they are voting for.

That provisions be made for the purchase of property and' easements that might be necdssary. Provisions should be made in the Ordinance for the use of any surplus funds from bond issue" due to the failure of certain L.1.D. Districts not carrying on account of majority protest.

Mr. Strange asked Connnissioner Taylor if he is trying to pile rocks in front of the deal and does not want I ,i,Illprovements, as the Connnission and Planning Board have been working toward the same for over two years, thi~ :being the only means of financing the improvement. I I Mr. Taylor then cited !-'.arine Drive fill and which is more important, this or Front Street. Mr. Strange !replied tbat ;>!arine Drive is most important and provisions will be made for improvement by General Obligat- ,ion Bonds which will not require vote.
