<br />First appeared before the Board, Mr. William Morris with a repetition of his
<br />complaint concerning the routing of trash -hauling to the City►s new landfill as indi-
<br />cated by the information given by the press. Street Commissioner, H. M. Tomlinson,
<br />being present, stated he had made several personal inspections in the matter and in no
<br />instance had he seen any trash-hauler's trucks on Corby Boulevard. Some further
<br />discussion ensued, indicating definitely that the controversy is entirely between Mr.
<br />Morris and the newspaper publisher, and the Board could, therefore, give it no further
<br />attention.
<br />Next appeared before the Board, Mr. Clifton Davis of 110 S. Wellington Street,
<br />reporting the condition of the street in this block causes repeated damage to his
<br />automobile. Street Commissioner, H. M. Tomlinson, being present, informed the Board
<br />;.that this section of street is extremely.difficult to maintain due to its being higher
<br />than the sidewalks and adjoining lots,'and accordingly, it is not feasible to put any
<br />;more gravel on it. The Commissioner stated that the street is graded at intervals and
<br />!!maintained by his department in the best condition possible to maintain dirt streets
<br />in this muck soil area. Mr. Davis insisted "the street could be kept up better than
<br />it has been keptup". Commissioner Tomlinson then suggested that inasmuch as this area
<br />is under the Federal Housing Authority, Mr. Davis and others in the block, should
<br />;;petition that authority for street improvement, and also advised Mr. Davis this street
<br />"would again be leveled up, as soon as the department can get to it."
<br />Mr. Davis then presented to the chairman of the Board, a bill for a current repair job
<br />on his automobile, which he claimed was due to the condition of the street. The Board
<br />!:rejected the bill and informed Mr. Davis payment of such a claim could not be entertained;.
<br />The Board next considered quotations received for the wall washing and painting,
<br />I and the carpenter work involved in the rearrangement of the office of the Building
<br />+Commissioner. The Board awarded the wall -washing and painting to the Morrical Painting
<br />;and Decorating Corporation, and the carpenter work to Charles Aulm Contractor, as having+
<br />"submitted the lowest and best bids.
