A petition from the residents of Hale Terrace Addition was presented regarding street lights in that locality. The following letter from the Board of Works was sent to each one of the petitioners: November 28, 1967 To: Residents of Hale Terrace (signing street light petitions) Subject: Street Lights For reasons that are self evident, the Board of Works has looked with favor on extending street lights into Hale Terrace Addition. The Board of Works favors such ex- tensions into each new subdivision as it develops to the point at which sufficient home building warrants the protection of street lights. As you may know, the cost of such extensions is borne by the Board of Works, and is not a direct charge against property served by such lighting. Difference of opinion have arisen among residents of Hale Terrace, 1) as to the . desirability or undesirability of any street lights at all, and 2) as to the type of lights and standards to be furnished by the City, if any. The City is prepared to proceed immediately on an installation of underground wiring using aluminum poles, pendents and mercury vapor lights of the general type furnished on South "E", to which there seems to be objections by some residents of Hale Terrace. The City will be prepared, in the future, to furnish a new type of standard which is presently on test on Reeveston Road between 21st and 22nd Streets, consisting of a laminated wood standard with a mercury vapor light with underground circuit upon easements provided on each property line. (The City offers only mercury vapor street lights and have discontinued incandescent lights. This type of light will delay the installation by about three months. It is against the policy of the Board of Works to become involved in neighborhood difference. However, as a means of expediting a program of street lights for Hale Terrace, the Board has agreed at its meeting November 24th to release the above described type of street light for instllation in the spring, when the equipment becomes available. Yours very truly, /s/ Henry M. Jameson President of Public Works & Safety City of Richmond Mr. Keller moved that the Board of Works refer to Mr. Beck of the Richmond Power and Light Company the question of residential Street Lights with a report-back on the various types of residential lights available. Mr. Gehr seconded this motion and on voice vote was carried. Mr. Norman Pilgrim, member of the real estate committee, appeared before the Board with a report on the remaining buildings to be purchased on the proposed site of the new City Building. Mr. Keller moved that a Condemnation Purchase Ordinance in the amount of $119,400.00 to cover the properties in the block between Main and North A Street and Ft. Wayne Avenue and North 5th Street, which have not been purchased, be prepared for Council's consideration. Mr. Gehr seconded this motion and on voice vote was carried. The Board went on record officially in extending their deep appreciation for the wonderful service performed by the Real Estate Committee, headed by Norman Pilgrim. The task was effected in a manner which the Board is satisfied was inherently fair both to the persons involved and to the City.
