Air Patrol to have an all weather airport, however, the funds are low and member-
ship small so it will take some time to be self- sufficient. It was estimated

Avenue, Dorris to most vrester]y house shown as estimate of 81,484.00. Total
estimate on the estimate overall project was $22,578.00. The council had asked
Mr. Berlin to prepare these estimates after the-council had received a request
from I. L. Lerner for sewage connection to a proposed negroid subdivision in
Central Heights Addition. The estimates were discussed at length, however, the
Council agreed that it was in no position financially to start such a major
project. Even after Mr. Lerner suggested a re- routing of the sewer lines no
feasible plan could be arranged for city financing at this time. Councilman Lusk
suggested that Mr. Lerner bear the complete cost of the project and the City
re- imburse him with a two year period from the date construction shall begin.
Mr. Lerner favored such a proposal, however, he refused to provide a greater sum
than $10,000.00. Councilman H. M. Campbell moved to instruct the Mayor, City
Manager and City Attorney to negotiate an agreement wherein Mr. Lerner will
finance the construction of a sewer line or lines of adequate size to service a
subdivision of approximately 600 homes, said construction hot to exceed $10,000.00;
the funds to be advanced•to the city by Mr. Leaner, at no interest rate, upon
notice from the City Manager that the city is ready to begin construction; Yr.
Lerner to be reimbursed by the city within twenty -two (22) months from the date
said money is received by the city. Councilman Lusk seconded the motion. The

Abandon - Non-Existing. Streets - Central Heights

non - existing streets in Central Heights according to the plat of said subdivision
recorded in the map records of Harris County, Texas. He then asked permission
to replat blocks one to seventeen inclusive of Central Heights in accordance
with the Subdivision Ordinance of the City of Baytown. Councilman H. M. Campbell
moved that the Mayor and City Clerk be authorized to sign an instrument abandoning
non - existing streets in Central Heights Subdivision as shown on the plat filed
in the County Court records in the year 1928; the surveyor be further instructed
to disregard the plat as placed on record and a new plat be prepared which will
