West Illinois Street property owners to meet with city board
West Illinois Street property owners will meet with the city and board to discuss a plan for a 20 foot middle strip with two side strips funded by property owners. The proposal, aimed at equalizing treatment with the second district, would require removal of parkways and curb repairs. Definite refusal of owners to fund road improvements is unlikely in light of the economic program. City officials hope State Engineer Roy Cochran will seek state aid, possible federal funds, and keep road work tentative until approvals arrive. Citizens are invited to attend the meeting this evening as the council works toward surfacing Illinois street within city limits.
