could be transferred.
b. Councilman Thomas read a letter concerning a complaint
on the street conditions cf Oak Street.
Mayor Armstrong stated she had talked to City Manager about
two suggestions she had and she was going to talk to City
Engineers to see what the City needed.
(1) First, Dunnick Brothers is doing the highway and she
- had suggested that they be contacted to see what kind
of a deal they could give to see if possibly the City
could afford to do two or three more streets; Railroad
Ave., north and south end, and Oak Street would now
be added to the list.
(2) Another suggestion was that the County has an overlay
machine; however, it is not in this precinct. Maybe
the City should rent the machine from the County and
possibly do the streets.

(1) Concerning surface water of the Upper Trinity LTater
