area f rehabilitation has been made. He indicated,
in hi3 judgment, the Rehabilitation Staff is entitled

ning Of the renewal project.

REPORTS (Contfd
Mrs. Curtis said she would appreciate
receiving a list of our current relocation workload
so that she can evaluate our relocation needs at the
next Jousing Authority meeting.
. Mrs. Witherspoon expressed concern over the
safety of the children walking to the Oliver School
from the Laurel Street housing project. She indicated
that he sidewalks are not kept clean of snow and the
children, at times, must walk in the street.
President Wiggins stated that, in his opinion,
the p oblem of sidewalk cleaning was the responsibility
of th abutting property owners.
Mr. Edgar Seybold suggested this matter should
be taken up with the School Corporation and to decide
which side of Western Avenue is to be used and then de-
cide who should clean the snow. President Wiggins stated
he th ught this was a very good suggestion and directed
the R development Staff to make the necessary investiga-
tion ith the school officials that would lead to solving
the o oblem.
