The Planning Commission was vary active in the year 1952. Daring
tho early part of the year we were bustly engagaq with the City
Commission preparing necessary data to ready our Arterial Bond
Issuo proposal for the ballot. This took some doing as not ovory-
one concerned ~as convinced it was the thirg to do inasmuch as
the people had failed to approve a like issue in July of 19$0.
Meetings were held ~ith a group of citizens wno offered to raise
money to pay for a publicity c811paign for the bond issue. The
money was raised and then the Planning Com~isslcn was charged with
the reponsibility of expending same.
The results of the election on March 11th, 1952 were v'ry gratifying
to the Planning Commission as noeI'll 75% of th.e poople approved
the issue.
