PROPOSES new
WIDENING PLAN
FOR SIXTEENTH
works Board Considers
Hack Suggestion for
Joint Assessment.

Widening of Sixteenth st. from
Boulevard Pl. to Alabama St., and
elimination of the hazardous jog at
Sixteenth and Illinois under a new
plan of assessment was recon-
mended to the city plan commission
today by Oren S. Hack, works
board president.
Hack said the works board favors
combining the widening and
Strengthening project in one resolu-
ton under the thoroughfare law
which provides the city can pay IS
per cent and property owners rs per
cent of costs.
The former works board had
started the project under the assess
ment plan where property owners
were assessed from Washington St.
to Thirty Eighth st. There was
considerable objection to the plan,
hundreds of residents contending
the improvement was for public
welfare and should be paid for by
the city,
Project Long Discussed
The Sixteenth ST. project has been
matter of contention between city
administrative boards and citizens
for years, the improvement plans
being modified at various times.
Plan Engineer Macklin estimated
the project will cost about $356,000.
Under the plan presented by Mack
the board will rescind the former
action of the works body and proA
coed at once with the improvement
under the joint resolution. He
said there are several advantages
of Joint resolution which is being
drawn by City Engineer A. H.
Moore.
City plan commission members
will approve the plan Tuesday, it
is said.
City Engineer A. H. Moore will
submit Morris st. bridge plans to
the plan body for it's approval
Tuesday. The Duvall board con-
tract on an alternate plan for
frightening the bridge did not con-
form with the plans recommended
ton for an eighty-foot span with
sixty-foot roadway. Law provides
the new bridge must conform with
the city thoroughfare plan width.
Drafts 1929 Program
Mack is drafting a program for
1929 to substantiate the request for
a maximum 2-cent levy for the
thoroughfare plan.
The program which will be sub
mitted to the plan commission
Tuesday probably will include:
Extension of Cruise st. from
Maryland to Bates St.; elimination
of jog at Maryland and Shelby;
cutting off corner at Prospect and
Shelby Sts.; elimination of jog at
Michigan and Highland Pl., and
widening of Michigan st. from the
east city limits to White River on
the west.
1t is planned to make Michigan
an east and west thoroughfare to
relieve heavy traffic on Washington
st.
Mack said the commission had
about $2O4,O0O balance in the thor
oughfare fund If the Scent levy
request has been cut to is cents as
was reported at city hall, the COM
mission will receive only $4,000 for
the street widening and straighten-
ing program in 1929.

The rise in price of crude oil an
nounced january 26th, by the Ohio
oil company cf is cents per barre
in the Kevin-S -Sunburst field, was
not unexpected, and is taken BIZ oil
operators to mean that the Kevin-
Sunburst Oil is needed, and that
there is not IN oversupply from the
field, rather q scarcity. Crude oil ia
the field has been selling at pre-
mium, and the KevinsSunburslt is
about the only field in the country
which has not had it's output curtail-
ed by the oil committee in charge OF
the nations output of crude
At it's best this field has not been
able to furnish enough oil for its
territory, and with the stacking off
through the cold weather, conditions
have become more acute as to the
need for KevinrSunIburst crude.
"A still heavier advance is expect
ed in the price of Kevin-Sunburst
crude wibhin the near future by local
operators, and the outlook for extend
ed operationc during the present year
looks brighter than before in the his
