AI a special meeting of the Town
Council held Tuesday night, repre-
sentatives of local civic Organiza-
tons and members of the Council
discussed the community improve
ment plan recently submitted by
the Community Service Committee
of the local Rotary Club and en-
dorsed by all civic organizations of
the community.
The Council, in an unanimous
decision decided to authorize a
complete survey to obtain an es-
innate on the cost of the proposed
improvements in the town proper.
1t was also decided that a commit
tee composed of Council members.
including Mayor Baker and repre-
seEiatives of all the organizations,
should meet with the State High
way Commission to enlist support
in carrying out the program where
it extends beyond town limits.
Included in the proposal is the
extension of Laurel street to town
limits in both easterly and wes-
terly directions; opening of a rail-
road crossing at Laurel street and
the linking of the street with high
ways on either side of town: the
extension of Pine street, in an
easterly direction to town limits:
extension of hard surfaced streets
from curb to curb; widening and
surfacing of Front street to town
limits. The plan also calls for con-
struction by the State Highway
Department of hard surface road
around the airport from South Bed
ford street extended, to link I'D
with the Lewes Highway and the
building of a cutoff road north
OF the town to link up with the
Lewas Highway. These two pro-
jects, if obtained, would lessen the
traffic load in town by permitting
routing of trucks and other traffic |
around the town.
Following the survey the Coun-
Gil will make the results public.
represented in the meeting were
the Rotary and Kiwanis and Lions
Clubs, the V. F. w. and American

tions of the community, including
