you an application on the part of the city for the paving or resurfacing of Western
Avenue from N(ichigan Street, U.S. #31, to Olive Street, which is part of the route of
Federal Highway #112 and State #2, with a view to making it safer and better for the
vast amount of traffic which passes over it. The Board believes that the details of
this improvement could be best worked out in a conference with the State Highway,
Commission, and therefore is not submitting the details at this time. The Board will
very much appreciate your setting a time and date convenient for all parties concerned,
at the State Highway Commission Office, preferably on a Thursday, when this conference
