Martin Post, representing Allstate Insurance Company, 1750 E. Fourth Street, stated they dedicated 12 feet when their building was constructed, and asked if they would have to dedicate an additional 8 feet for the proposed widening to 50 feet between the Santa Aua Freeway and the east City Limits. The Manager explained that the Riverside Free-~ay will be on Tustin Avenue and Fourth Street, and the anticipated traffic off and on the freeway has made it mandatory that it be a six-lane street, between the Santa Ana Freeway and the East City L~m~ts; the County is also building a six-lane highway between Tustin Avenue and Newport Blvd. Mr. W. Stone, llll E. Fourth Street, stated his building is up to the property line and asked if he would have to move the building back.

Miller, owner of property at the northwest corner of Broadwa~ and Eighth Street, said it would take off five to seven feet of the pro- perty, and asked that the setback not be exercised at this point; it would make it untenable to negotiate leases, and his client would find it impossible to market the property.
