LENOLT TRACT IMPROVEMENTS. It was explained that due to typographical error in the newspaper it was necessary 3 to introduce resolution to start the program again, and because of this the Council did not call for bids at the last meeting. Acting Mayor Granger stated that whether the work was started now or in the y spring was up to the property owners in Lenolt, that the Council would do exactly as they wished and that if they called for bids, if possible it might be well to vait until March in order to give the con- tractor 120 clear days to work. However, the work would start now if they wished. Mr. Ronan, Mrs. Clane, Mrs. Perkins and Mrs. Smith, also other representing Lenolt spoke. Opinion seemed to be divided. Some of the residents and Council members were of the opinion that a contractor would not tear up all the streets at once but complete a block or two at a timg, but Cityitngineer explained that the City could not dictate to the contractor in whAt manner he shohld do the work. Mayor Granger stated that once the work was started the City would not be called upon to stand the expense of putting in rock fill for them to get in and out and that all the.cities do the Peninsula were taking a stand to cancel all street work during the winter. Each Council member expressed the same opinion and all wished the minutes to record their stand in this matter that the City eould not spend any rioney to maintain streets until the streets were completed. Councilman Spillers offered resolution and moved, adoption calling for bids, seconded by Councilman Morgan and carried on roll call. Mayor Werder noted absent.
