A petition was received signed by property own-rs. representing: of the foot frontage reouest- ini concrete pavement on Union street between 15th nd 16th streets. and referred to ths City sevenths (57) vote of the commission as required by the Charter and was declared defeated.

Bard Street from Superior to River Streets This project was initiated without petition and was proposed because of the heavy volume of traffic traveling from the main business district to River street. This street connects two business sections of the main business area and serves for parking of shoppers and workers and it is also difficult to maintain. We have received a petition of remonstrance representing 40.3 of the total private property frontage and a petition favoring the construction representing 31 of the total private property frontage, and at the public hearing one property owner spoke for the project and one spoke against. Because of its strategic location in relation to our business districts and difficulties in maintenance, we recommend that this project be approved for paving. 11th Avenue front Scott Avenue to Pine Grove Avenue This street improvement was initiated without a petition and was proposed because the paving of the unpaved portion of Eleventh avenue would benefit the City by creating an additional paved highway north and south connecting Tenth street bridge and the international bridge, thereby relieving the bottleneck on the north side of Port Huron caused by two highways, Tenth street and Pine Grove avenue, being the only north and south improved streets in this area.

As the petition against this particular improvement represented but 26.1 of the total private property frontage, and but one objector appeared at the public hearing, and we have since received a request from the Kern Bottling Works to pave this street and this company represents approximately 165 feet we respectfully recommend that this project be approved for paving. Union Street from Military to Fourth Street This street Improvement was also initiated without petition because of difficult maintenance and because it is also a service street connecting the business section and main business thorofare (Military street) to industrial properties on Fourth etreet. Although the petition against the project represents 50.4 of the total private frontage, we believe that there is no hardship indicated and respectfully recommend that the project be approved for paving. Kith Street front Griswold to Court streets This project was Initiated by a petition representing 68.8 of the total private frontage and no petition of remonstrance was received. At the public hearing a Mr.

Parker objected to this paving and his property represents but 2 of the total frontage. We therefore recommend that this street be approved for paving in the 1948 paving program. 17th Street from Griswold to streets This project was initiated by a petition representing 50.5 of the private property, and at the public hearing a petition of remonstrance was filed representing 33.3 of the frontage. No one personally remonstrated at the public hearing. As both the Initiating petition and remonstrance are both short of charter requirements, the decision as to paving rests with the City Commission.

As this street will help as an outlet to Griswold street for the new proposed Naval Armory at 16th and Bancroft, it recommended that the street be paved. Chestnut Street from Military to Fourth Street This street improvement was initiated without petition because of difficult man-tenance and because it is also a service street connecting the business section and main business thorofare (Military street) to industrial properties on Fourth street. Although the remonstrance aganst the project represents 100 of the total private property frontage, we believe that there Is no hardship indicated and respectfully recommend that the project be approved for paving. 8th Street from Mlnne to Jenkin-aon Streets This street improvement was also initiated without petition with the idea of connecting other paved portions of streets in the vicinity. At the public hearing there was presented a petition against paving this street and represented 39.2 of the total private frontage.

A Mr. Higgins and Miss Rossow also personally objected. As this street and area is reasonably served by the existing paved cross streets, we respectfullv recommend that this project be eliminated from the paving program for Rlmrlew Street from Gratiot Avenue to Omar Street This project was initiated by a petition filed in 1939, and signed by eight property owners and representing 49 of the private property frontage. Since this street has been suggested for paving there has been a petition of remonstrance filed representing 61.6 of the private prop-ertv frontage. We have also been contacted by representatives of the Dunn Sulphite Paper Company who have in dicated their willingness to participate in the private property expense to abutting owners.

We therefore recommend that this project be laid on the table pending final agreement of negotiations between the abutting property owners and the Dunn Sulohite Paper Company on distribution of cost. 4. Communication was received from the City Manager advising that some time back, the City Commission approved the itudv of existing water rates by the firm of Ayres. Lewis, Norris and May and that said study has not been completed and further that the Citv of Port Huron is operating on a rate schedule that became effective in Julv, 1925, and has never been changed since said date.
