C. PUBLIC HEARINGS
1. Street Improvement - Beam Avenue, Hazelwood Street to T.H. 61.
a. Mayor Axdahl convened the meeting for a public hearing regarding the con -
struction of Beam Avenue from Hazelwood Street to T.H. 61. The Clerk read the
notice of hearing along with the dates of publication.
b. Manager Miller presented the staff report. He further stated that this
project had originally been heard on April 6, 1972. The original hearing was
for permanent street work estimated at a cost of $3,575,000.00. The project
was ordered on April 20, 1972 by the Council; due to the publication of only one
advertising of the hearing in the legal paper, instead of the required two,
we are required to hold another hearing on this. Since that time, the proposal
to reduce the scope of the project has been proposed.
c. Mr. Jim Murphy, of Howard, Needles, Tammen and Bergendoff, made the presen-
tation of what exactly was being proposed on the project.

ject. None wished to be heard.
