A. B. ROWLAND, 1601 West 39 Street, appeared before the Council regarding the paving of Seiders Avenue, and assessing him $249.17 as his part of paving, what he believed was a private drive. He stated he was never contacted or notified about any move to pave this street, which had never been used to any extent, and which now was the entrance to a Synagogue. The City Manager explained that the street was dedicated at the time the subdivision was made; that the street was now since the Church had been located there, a traffic way; that the slope of the street had always contributed to a maintenance problem. The Director of Public Works stated that the representative from the Church had agreed to paying almost one-half of the cost of the paving of the Street, and another property owner would pay for the paving abutting his lot. It was believed that Mr. Rowland would realize a savings of almost one-half of his original cost. Mr. Rowland stated the other property owner was a developer, and would be saving on the cost of installing utilities. MR. SLINING, speaking for his mother, stated she would have to pay approximately $300.00 within 30 days, and that she would not be using the street, and that paving this particular street would not enhance the property. The City Attorney explained this procedure. Mayor Protem Palmer stated that this amount stated in Mrs. Slining's letter would be reduced about half also, and that the Council would look into the matter again with the Director of Public Works to see how it can be worked out.
