RE: Sidewalk - Northwest 20th to 24th Street
Dear Mr. Benner
II/ In answer to your letter of October 31 , 1972 we are willing to pay
up to $350.00 to cover concrete material costs and help our neighbors
get the sidewalk they want.
We understand that we will pay up to this amount at the conclusion
of the project to the supplier.
We understand the sidewalk will be four feet wide matching the
existing sidewalk in the Del Layne Subdivision. We also understand
the sidewalk will have a thickness of fuor inches and employ a minimum
of fill material . We also understand that the sidewalk upon completion
will become the sole responsibility of the City of Richmond in regards
to repairs and maintenance.
We have ground wires running out 400 feet from our tower in every
direction. Because of this when they do the work on the sidewalk they
will probably run into some of our ground wires and we want to be sure
that they will not pull any of them out of the ground.
I would like to suggest that the people doing the actual work check
with our Chief Engineer, Lou Dunning on this ground wire situation before
digging into the ground in preparation for the sidewalk.
Best regards ,
CENTRAL BROADCASTING CORP.
