ISillen for the CCNZnam Pugazi interests, to march 15th. 417 At this time H. S. Looser, agent for E. R. Handel, purchaser of six acres of the Elizabeth quast Estate in Lot 6, Block 13 Futchins Addition, addressed the Council as to the sharing of the cost of opening of West Elm street through this parcel at the eighty foot width recommended by the city Planning Commission and as shown on the master Plan for this part of Lodi adopted by that Commission. 'ivhe City Planning reca=endation is that 7 -ST = ST the City assume the entire paving cost, outside of curbs and UI?R07ZIENT gutters, as sufficient compensation. mlayor Tolliver stated that the City did not in any case, want to deviate from its established policy, that subdividers pay for street improvement of streets in their subdivisions. City Wareger Meller proposed, in lieu of the Planning Ca=lssion reconnendation, that the City pay for additional street width above the sixty foot normal, and pave this additional width. Councilmen Bull and Haskell agreed that such an agreement would not be a departure from policy but that the establishing of a fair price to be paid for extra land would be another matter to be considered, it being the desire of the City Council to decide in this matter in such manner that the decision would operate in other instances where acquisition of additional street width lands might be necessary. Therefore, an motion of Councilman Bull, Haskell second, - a Board of Appraisal consisting of the City Engineer, IT Handel or his representative and a third member to be appointed by these two, if necessary, reach an agreement as to the value of the hand required for widening this street to eighty feet and submit their findings to the City Council for consideration.
