November 6, 1958.
To H. A. Thomason
From F. M. Rugeley
Subject: Swallow Street
Referring to the complaints of the people living adjacent to Swallow Street where it inter-
sects the Industria Route, there is no question that a larger area now drains over this
block of dirt street. As best as I can estimate, no more than 5 acres will drain to this
street. This drainage area is minor compared with many others in town now draining over
dirt streets.
We are now shaping the street, installing culverts at its north end and will put some sand-
stone on the traveled area northward from the highway toward Pecan Street. The sandstone
is surplus material which the highway contractor has donated in order to clean up his
right-of-way.

Motion seconded by Alderman Hall and carried.
Moved by Alderman Hale that the meeting be adjourned.
Motion seconded by Alderman Thacker and carried.
The Board of Alderman
/then adjourned.
