of the neighbors and report back to the Board.

The Richmond School Board asked the Board' s permission to build sidewalks, curbs and
gutters at the edge of Elks Club Road in front of their property and to trim trees if
necessary to provide walking room for school children. Mr. Cook moved this permission

Mrs. Veach of Veach' s Dime Store appeared before the Board in regard to getting the side-
walk repaired in front of 715-19 East Main Street. Donald Cook, City Engineer, stated
they would repair the sidewalk but would not put in a new one as this location is figured
in the Renewal Program and they would have to dig it back up again.
The Board approved the installation of the following street lights:
III1. Henley Road South from East Main to Dorothy Lane - install 13 and remove 3
2. Bridge Ave. between North 6th and No. W. L. and adjacent areas - install 22
and remove 7

the factory. Mr. Meuser stated that they could eliminate some of the noise with new
blades in their cutters, and also stated he would check further on the ash that is falling
in the neighborhood and see if it could be more thoroughly burned before it leaves the
smokestack.
Mr. E. E. Linburg, Manager of Richmond Gas Corporation, and Attorney W. W. Reller appeared
before the Board to show cause why the Gas Co. still had continuous digging projects going
on in the City and gas leakage. Mr. Linburg told the Board that they did not consider it
feasible to replace complete lines downtown until they knew of the Redevelopment plans.
Mr. Cecere, City Attorney, criticized the lack of communication between the City and the
Gas Co, as the cause of public apprehension. Mr. Linburg told the Board that the Gas Co.
has arranged to have weekly meetings every Wednesday with the Fire Prevention Bureau and
all information from these meetings will be relayed the next day to the Board of Public
Works and Safety. Mr. Reller stated that the many gas leaks were caused by the April 6th
explosion. Mr. Cecere stated that he could understand a two or three block area having
leaks from the explosion, but he would not concede leaks as far as Pearl Street, and also
stated the Board of Public Works felt a responsibility to the citizens and would continue
questioning the Gas Company until it (the Board) felt sure the City was safe of danger from
gas.
Attorney James Ronald and Mr. Jack Clements appeared before the Board for permission to
vacate an alley just north of the First Presbyterian Church. Mr. Cecere advised them to
take it through the Court as the Board of Works had no objection.
Mr. Leonard Yost asked the Board' s tentative approval to close the alley in the 1000 block
back of the Westcott Hotel to remove a chimney. Mr. Cecere moved for approval of this
request upon condition Mr. Yost lets the Traffic Division know when he is ready, seconded ,
by Mr. Hoskins and on unanimous voice vote was carried.

Mr. Max Phillips, Assistant Division Engineer of Penn Central Railroad, told the Board the
No. W. 5th Street crossing will be completely renovated this summer and several other
crossings will also be repaired. City Attorney Cecere stated the City wants these crossings
repaired this summer or the City will take more drastic action.
Mr. Gurley Fox, 1106 Perry Street, appeared before the Board by request to show cause why
IIIhe had purchased a building permit March 4, 1968 to repair his property and had not done
so. Mr. Fox showed pictures of a few minor repairs which did not satisfy the Board. Mr.
Goins, the Building Commissioner, was ordered by the Board to check this out and report
to the Board in two weeks. Mr. Cecere moved this be done, seconded by Mr. Hoskins and
on unanimous voice vote was carried.
