<br />The Board first took up the matter of the parking meter bids, opened at regular
<br />meeting of the Board, Titonday, June 22, 1953, awarded the contract to i\I. H. Rhodes, Inc.
<br />Hartford Conn. for two -hundred Mark -Time parking meters, in exact accord with their
<br />proposal, and directed the Clerk to issue formal purchase order.
<br />Then appeared before the Board Tr. Harold Weber requesting that the Street Department','
<br />be authorized to grade a portion of Campeau Street, opening this street to traffic from
<br />Eddy Street to Bader Avenue. It was pointed out by the Board that no petition for such
<br />opening had been received from resident home -owners in that area, that a dust condition
<br />would be created, and that ruts and mudholes would soon develop, which would compel
<br />the City to gravel the street to keep it open to traffic. Mr. Weber stated the opening
<br />of the street would tend to reduce traffic congestion on Corby and the grading operation,"
<br />in view of the short distance involved, would be comparatively inexpensive. Consideration
<br />was next given to cost of oiling, immediately following the grading operation, and the
<br />Board agreed to proceed with the grading, provided Mr. Weber would assume the oiling a
<br />costs. The matter is to be held in abeyance pending Mr. Weberts decision to supply a
<br />satisfactory oil application.
<br />The Board then recessed for a period of thirty minutes to attend the swearing -in
<br />ceremony in the Council Chambers for three new members of the Board of Education:
<br />Messrs. Orlo Deah.l and Ben Drollinge_r, and Tllrs. Raymond D. Kuespert, and new member
<br />of Board of Park Commissioners, Db?. Paul Gilbert.
<br />Upon reconvening, the Board examined drawing of Survey of the Proposed Sewage
<br />Treatment Plant Site, submitted by Engineer 1I1m. S. Moore. The Board approved the
<br />Cl
<br />drawing, and Mr. Tdoore further agreed to furnish the Board with a written description
<br />of the several parcels of land which are included in this proposed site.
