JEFFERSON STREET SIDEWALK
~urzyn reported on the City Council's request to reconsider concrete sidewalk on
Jefferson Street instead of the previously recommended bituminous type of walk.
Discussion was held on if the concrete was feasible to the needs on the community
or if asphalt would be sufficientfor the expense involved. It was noted that
although concrete would be more expensiv% it would last a considerably longer
time than would asphalt. Holtom recommended that if the money was available to
install a pe~nanent concrete sidewalk that it would be a better choice than asphalt.

rather than a bituminous type of walk. Ayes, Schel~% Melin, Hollom, Farreli and
Logacz. Naye, Rak.

2 layers of asphalt on top.

work for the tennis courts due to an excess of city street work. The Park Board

Murzyn hire one contractor for the entire project. Murzyn stated that being a
governmental bo~y, we have to advertise for bids for the construction of tennis
