involved - Texaco, W.W. Gri11, and Hilz-Snider Chev. need
to write letters to the Highway Department to encourage

agreed upon was due to the fact that the State said this
is what we are going to do and there really wasn`t anything
City Council could do.

way streets since this would affect his business.
