Adjourned meeting December 22, 1915.
behalf of ttrs Briokell on the improvement of Seth Street, between Briokell Avenue and
Avenue E and have been told that there were persons present at the'meeting when the
resolution waq confirmed, urging that the work be ordered, but perhaps the faot that
it is not necessary was not presented. The street has only one house and that is east
of i+1iami Avenue, and is not the street along by the school house; and, as I understand
it, one of the persons urging the improvement set up the howl that the sotiool ohildrerz
were forded to oli,00 over the rooks. I have been over that sinoe then ana find that
there is a good rook road from Point View to the intersection with 2Sth Street and
Miami Avenue, whioh leads to the aohool,houso, and if it is to serve the children it
will be better for them if no traffio is carried on over the street. sinoe there is but
one house on the street and sinoe 22nd Street on this aide has been ordered
improved, and Broadway on the other side, it seems there is little necessity for the
work especially in view of the fact that so much other work is being done there and
imposing on property owners. Mrs. i3riokell has to pay for most of these improvements
and it is for these reasons that I filed the remonstranoe. if council can reject the
bid for tnat street we shall be glad to have them do so.
Chair:;an Hefty: When tale (natter came up tnere was quite a delegation from that
section of the city, very much in favor of paving this street, anu ehowea council
several reasons why it should be paved, ana we were given to understand tnat really
every property owner on the street was in favor of tne improvement except Mrs. Briokell
Mr. :1ceaskill: There is only one otner property owner on the street, with a. little three
room house; she owns the rest of the property on that street, 1 tra.ink. i understand'
this particular property owner was here ana u-ge.1 the improvement of that street, and
1 don't blame him for I would do so myself, but it is not absolutely necessary for all
of that property to be improved for one mans benefit, especially when so many other
improvements are being male in that district.
Cnairman: it woul;a give a better outlet to the entire section, we were told. however,
tnat is a matter for the council to decide.
.ir. 4cLees iii: Heretoiore tnere has been no opening between 20th and Br caaway, but 32nd
is bein: improved and also Broadway.
...r. H. F. Duval: I own property on 26tn Street between Avenue D and E, ana represent
ot,ir owners. I waa not here at tne meeting referred to but I have been waiting to get
a. roar: in there in order to build; it is reaslly necessary for tne people in the
vicinity of 26th Street tnat it be opened up and be paved through. We have no outlet to
,get to ::roadway, wnicn is quite a way down. The Experimental Station cuts us off and
Caere is no road from 25-n Street. ..,r. hrmilton owns property in tnere anu he is
anxioua to have the Street opened. I was talking to DR Evans the otner day, who
owns property en 2:6tn Street, and he is ales very anxious to have it improved.
..ir. ec.;.s'kill: That bein~ the case and since these owners desire tne street improved, it
coula be uone between Avenue 2 and Ean.. give them at outlet to D. I was suite sure airs
er1 Kr,11 owned aei tne property with few exceptions.
