and irregularities, that may be corrected.
Mr. Wayne Allan, a resident of 304 W. Dexter, stated that he was not in favor
of paving Kerry Street, as designated in Ordinance 522, because he felt that it would be
a traffic hazard to pedestrians. He felt that the city tax money could be spent for a
better cause. He stated that after taking another petition of the citizens that owned
property facing the street, it was found that 57.99% were not in favor of paving Kerry
Street. U. D. Havelka, a resident of 401 Fairview, stated that he was previously in
favor of paving Kerry Street and had signed the petition for it, but after reconsidering,
decided against it. Mr. Ransdell stated that he was in favor of paving Kerry Street
because it would solve certain drainage problems and as the money for the paving was
already obligated, it would be in order. .
On motion by Councilman Adams, seconded by Councilman Rosprim, Kerry
Street was requested to be withdrawn from the 1967 paving program. Councilmen
Rhodes, Cooley, Boyett and Rosprim voted no. Motion failed to carry.
