FRED DANIEL, representing the Texas Trust Company, stated the plans would take more than 200' of their property and might divide their property. MR. PHIL NELSON, Gethsemane Church, inquired if there would be any bridges or embankments in front of the Church property. MR. LOUIS PAGE told the Council that he thought the road would be to the good of the whole area and would be to everybody's advantage to get it worked out, and he certainly approved of the city's accepting the Highway proposition. MR. N. J. WONSLEY, after explanation of the need of additional right-of-way from him, and the delay in construction date, stated it was all right with him, if he would be paid for his property. Representatives from the Church of Christ stated the road would take all of their property, but they were willing for the road to be constructed. Mr. Patterson stated he believed his clients and the school would work out their problems, and that the city would be released from its obligation. After more discussion, Councilman Palmer moved that we accept the proposition of the Highway Department and that we determine that it appears that the road will be built within 300 feet of the centerline of Anderson Lane and that building permits within 300 feet of the centerline of Anderson Lane between Lamar Boulevard and Interregional Highway not be issued without Council approval. The motion, seconded by Councilman Long, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmen Long, Palmer, Pearson, White, Mayor Miller Noes: None There being no further business, the Council adjourned at 4:30 P.M., subject to the call of the Mayor.
