At the request of Councilman Butler, Mr. Edmond was asked to check the possibility
of installing a street light on N. W. 4th Avenue, in the colored section, as requested
by residents in that vicinity.
Several property owners resi~ing on Nassau Street appeared before the Council~ com-
plaining of the flooded condition of the streets around their homes, and request~_~g
that some temporary measure be taken immediately to drain the water from Nassau S~m~eet.
City Manager Edmond explained that an open drain had been blocked off when Mr.
Reid laid a pipe line down Shulson Street in his hew development, but that manholes
and drain pipes would be installed in Nassau Street as soon as the materials w~re
available, which would take care of this drainage problem permanently; in the mean-
time temporary relief would be given the residents of this section at once.
City Manager Edmond asked the authorization of the Council to employ Mr. George
S. Brockway, Engineer, for two or three days to stake out the west line of the side-
walk and establish sidewalk grades on the west side of Ocean Boulevard from Atlantic
Avenue south to Miramar Drive, and ina motion made by Councilman Butler, seconded by
Councilman McNeece, unanimously carried, this request was granted.
