of-way must be purchased from general funda. Approximat'ely twelve per cent of entire project cost will
be paid by th'e City as general benefit which should not be undue ha~dshi}l for any individual. It was

a year to complete and it is hoped that i.f.arine Drive: will be completed for use py fall. Mr. Vergeer

and authorizing acquisition of right-of-wa;y. It was estimated that within ninety days, construction
