PAVEMENT OF SPRINGFIELD AVENUE (30) At its meeting on March 14 (Minutes, page 787), the Board (the Executive Committee) voted to accept the University's proper share of the cost of repaving Springfield Avenue, on condition that this extend from W r i g h t Street through to Lincoln Avenue and that the City's share of the gasoline tax be used in part payment of the cost. T h e City had originally proposed repaving only from W r i g h t Street to Goodwin Avenue. T h e city officials have advised that in their opinion it will be impossible to go ahead with the project under the conditions specified by the Executive Committee because 1. T h e City has already allocated its gasoline tax funds for other improvements; its officials consider it impossible to increase the allocation of funds from this source beyond the $2,400 originally contemplated. 2. Objections from property owners on Springfield Avenue east of Goodwin to Lincoln Avenue would block the improvement. These property owners claim that if Springfield Avenue is improved and widened it will become a thorofare, which they consider undesirable. In view of these circumstances, the Director of the Physical Plant Department recommends, and I concur, that the University assume its share of the cost of the paving of Springfield Avenue from W r i g h t Street to Goodwin Avenue, at an estimated cost of $17,205. Action on this matter was deferred.
