J. Anderson, 309 E. McFadden Avenue, protested the proposed 42-foot widening? in the old section, whereas the new section is 40 feet, and his front porch will have to be removed. He pointed out about 75% of the vehicles on McFadden Avenue turn south b.efore approaching Main Street, and requested consideration of another road to alleviate this condition. Dr. Craig Carter, Minister of the Church of Religious Science, owner of property on the north side of McFadden Avenue at the corner of Orange, stated their Church property would be affected by the widening of this street, and asked if the proposed width could be lessened to 35 feet and still meet the requirements for the gas tax fund. The questions were answered by Council~ man Heinly. Minnie Spangler, 1202 Maple Street, said they planned on remodeling the kitchen and dining r~ and the street widening would cut through these rooms. Fred A. Davis, ll5 E. McFadden Avenue, said his three lots of 50 feet each would beii reduced to 33 feet and be too sm~ll for a building. Mrs. C. H. Lurker stated her property was at the corner of Van Ness near McFadden Avenue dud the widening would reduce her living room by two feet. Mrs. Kenneth Tul~enwald, 842 E. McFaddenl Avenue, advised that taking ten feet off their property would approach the front porch, and the trees would have to be removed. Fred Brownsville, 1203 E. McFadden Avenue, protested that the steps on the side porch would have to be :removed to allOV for tree planting strips and asked if the strips were necessary. Kenneth Turtenwal~, 842 E. McFadden Avenue, remarked there were no sidewalks on their street and did nos want them, and asked for curbing only. Luther Thomas, 930 So. Ross Street, said if ten feet is taken off his corner lot, a valuable Sycamore tree would have to be re-! moved from the patio, and the imminent widening would creat~ an impediment to the sale of his property. Mr. J. W. Law, 854 E. McFadden Avenue, inquired about the cum2ensation for the trees necessarily removed due to the widening. The hearing waS declared closed. Vice-Mayor Hubbard left the Chair.
