for material as before. Councilman Broga stated he did not believe we can do
the number of streets the People are hollering for and it was questionable if
the county could do the work this year. The last two jobs the City has done

Pine Bluff Street and Ocean Ave. were a waste of material. Mayor Sedgwick

this was a three year program and two more coals were required on all streets
done last year. Councilman Henry stated he had built roads and still thought
it was a waste of money. Councilman Farrell stated it was no telling how long
we would have to wait for County Commissioner Saxon to do this work. It might
be a year or two. Councilman Broga suggested resurfacing streets put in last
year and finish those under construction now.
