1.~ ~~ ed by the following preliminary estimates: GRADING Labor and Equipment X2300.00 Clay .fill material for ditches 1950.00 Black dirt for dressing boulevards 1300.00 Drainage and appurtenances 3225.00 Machine laid asphalt curb 3960.00 L~ungren also said there are a large number of surfaced driveways along this street, many of which will have to be slightly revised because of the new grade. No provision has been made to cover the cost of reconstructing or resurfacing these driveway entrances under the surfacing provision of the sanitary sewer program. Normally, if such is desired, it is included and considered as part of the curb construction program. The above mentioned cost estimate, therefore, includes this work. If curbing is not included as part of this improvement, an additional item will have to be added to the bituminous surfacing to cover the cost of the driveways. As a part of this report, he submitted two sets of preliminary plans covering Tatum Street. Mayor Nilsen pointed out that if they wanted a City Section, they would have to cut down the grade. The new finished grade would vary from a cut of zero to 9". There was a discussion regarding the culvert. The following points were brought out: Culvert was installed in 19110. It is impossible for water from Falcon Woods to drain onto Lindig~s property. It is impossible to run the water to the Gottfried Pit at the pre8eint time. The people along the street were then called on for their opinions and responded as follows: 1920 - no comment 1905 - no comment 1903 - no comment 1900 - Bloomfield said he didn't think it should be finished to a City Section at the present time. 1892 - Richard Finn said he thought the cost was too high. 1891 - No Comment 1890 - D. P. Shannon inquired about the possibility of putting in the storm sewer at the present time. L~ungren said. it was imposs- ible, but he thinks there will be a street between Tatum and Fairview in the future and storm sewer arrangements could be made so Tatum would not have to be torn up again for the install- ation of storm sewer. Shannon said they hadno particular water problem but that he would go along with regrading. 1885 - no comment 1880 - no comment 1879 - no comment 1870 - no comment 1885 - Curtis Larson said he didn't see any connection between the so called water problem and the filling of the ditches; he doesn~t think filling of ditches would change water problem; he under- stood ditches could be filled without constructing curbing. L~ungren advised that in some cases they use a swale section which brings the water out into the street about a foot. Larson said he would be in favor of the swale section if it
