After careful consideration of each proposed improvement l'isted under the program,
it w~s felt that the street lights should be given first priority, but should include lights
on French Avenue from 20th Street south to intersection of Park Avenue, and on Park Avenue
from 25th Street south to the intersection of French Avenue, and the City Nanager was in-
structed to submit cost estimate on these additional lights, for fu~;ther consideration.
The Commission also felt that the specifications for air conditioning the City Hall
and Police Station should include central systems instead of windoN, units, and also heating
and requested cost estimates on same for further consideration.
