The initial plan presented by
the committee included unpaved
streets selected in all parts OF the
city and provided for the addi-
ton of still other streets as the
work progresses.
It is proposed to seek Works
Progress administration funds for
part of the cost, the whole project
to be submitted in units. The COM
mittee, composed of Harold Tyler,
jr., w. H. Rhodes and John Brun-
ner, asked the city to have all
the engineering work completed SO
there would be no delay should
labor become available through the

Desert mix, a type of surfaclng
used widely in the county, was
recommended by the committee.
1t was estimated that the whole
seven miles could be surfaced for
about the same cost required to
pave one block with the type OF
paving declared to be most serv-
fceable.
