� �� one of the conditions recommended by the Flanning Corrimission was minimum street im- �rovements to be insta.11ed . City Engineer Jain stated that he could not recommend acceptance of any street less than that required of any subdivider. He called attention to the Murphy Construction Company who had been required to build to standard require- ments and in his opinion to reduce the standards as requested by Mr. Peters would not appear feasible. Councilman Herkner stated that he woula go along with the City Engin- eer in his recommendation for proper streets . Mr . Simon Peters stated that it would � be impossible for him to install the standard streets as the cost would be too great � and he did not believe that he should be required to stand the entire expense. Mr. Peters then offered to pay half of the cost of the street but called attention to the fact that property owners above him did not desire to come in which would result in his ""� having to pay for the entire project. After further discussion, Councilman Herkner w� moved that City Engineer' s recommendation regarding streets be approved� seconded by Councilwoman Tinney and carried.
