Authorize Advertisement for Bids - Installation of Curbs and Gutters Baker Road
Garth to North Main
City Attorney Laughlin reviewed the necessary steps required to corre-
late the joint venture of city and county in the improvement of Baker Road from
North Main to Garth Road with the County bearing the cost of the street base and
the City the curb and guttering. The City has a choice of either reaching an
agreement with the County, or going out for bids and awarding a contract for the
construction of the curb and guttering, or extending a contract of Brown & Root,
Inc. which is presently in effect. The administration felt that the better

such improvement will have to be coordinated with the County engineers. Council-
