Letter dated February 15, 1959 from William R. Dindinger and Vivian I. Dindinger, in which they di not feel that such a small group of property owners should pay for the improvement of Roosevelt St. as it would benefit the entire City of Carlsbad, and proposed that a traffic survey be made of the cars using this street. Also they did not feel the proper ty owners in this area should have to pay for addi- tional drainage facilities.
The City Engineer informed the Council t facilities were not figured in the cost of this proj
Letter dated February 16, 1959 from Miles P. Tolbert stating that when this project wa cussed, the proposed cost was said to be appro ly $7.50 per front foot; however, when he was in Carlsbad on Sunday he found the estimated cost is
$14. 36 per front foot. In view of the fact that this entire area consists of low income rentals, this assessment is too great for the property owners and would cause a financial burden.
The Mayor asked if there were any persons present or their representatives, who had filed written protests that wished to speak in support of their Witten protest?
MR. WILLIAM DINDINGER, 1549 Fargo Ave., El Cajon, stated that he owned property on Roose and did not feel that a 48' street was street is proposed to be improved with 1 In a few years this street would have to and felt the City should look ahead to the fut way that the State does when they build highways.

' The Mayor announced the City Council would now hear any oral protests or objections concerning the work, extent of assessment district or grades.
MR. HOLLIS LINTT, 3480 Roosevelt St., stated
he did not file a written protest; it was his ing when this project was first proposed that it wo cost approximately $7.50 per front foot, but has found out now it would cost approxim front foot; he had checked with some of owners this evening and they were still impression this would cost $7.50 pe probably the City has complied with al necessary, but he felt the City had a mor to see that all the property owners we this estimated cost.
The City Manager recommended that the City parti cipate in this project in the amount of .$4,65 1.00, which would reduce the cost $1.00 per front foot to the property owner. The City Attorney informe the Council the City could contribute towards this project at any time during the proceedings. This would be consistent with the past policy of the council.

informed the Council there would be better drainage due to the curb and gutters, and there would be fire hydrants installed.
LEONARD NAVAREZ, Roosevelt Street, asked if damage were done due to lack of a drainage system, who would be responsible for this damage? The City Engineer informed the Council that due to the change in grade, and the installation of curb and gutter, this hazard should be corrected,
