the curbs in - it improves the area much. I think it's well worth the money and will never be any cheaper than today. Thank you. MRS. l1ILTON SEGAL, l837 Aglen~ I think that we have a pretty nice neighborhood right now without these curbs, and when you live on a limited income and you cannot afford it, they don't take into consideration people who have just a certain income and cannot afford it. They're thinking because they work, two people work in a family, they can do it. Well, other people can't, and you're assessed and you have to pay it. You got your interest - if you do not pay it, it compounds. ~fuat are you supposed to do when you live on $250 a month, and I think that we do not need it. r1R. GARY SCHROEDER, l856 Aglen: I lived in the City of St. Paul for 17 years of my life. One neighborhood they put new curbs in, five or six years later through city maintenance of plowing, etc., the curbs were eaten away with the salt - completely deteriorated. How can a young couple, such as myself, who, unless I send my wife back to work, afford such a luxury? The street isn't that bad. l1aybe a little up-keeping can be done, but I don't think there's a need for it. MR. DALLAS LEAR, 1900 Aglen~ I might mention that some parts of the City of St. Paul do not have curb, gutter and so forth (inaudible). Just across Larpenteur, as a matter of fact. I would like to ask r~r. Honchell, if they do put in the curb and gutter, what type of curb were you talking about? A sloping curb so we could still get lawn (inaudible) or a 6 inch verticle curb? rm. HONCHELL~ The curb is called a B6-l8 which is the (inaudible) one you described, merely a technical term. It's essentially a straight up and down curb - six inches high. MR. LEAR: right? There is a storm sewer now on Roselawn, is that I MR. HONCHELL~ Yes, we're going to carry the water on the northerly part of Aglen toward Roselawn. ~1R. LEAR: Is there a catch basin now on Roselawn? MR. HONCHELL: A storm sewer under the street. MR. LEAR~ (Inaudible). I'm at 1900. There are two catch basins now. Is that approximately 32 feet apart? r1R. HONCHELL: Close to that, at least. MAYOR DEMOS: Anyone else that wishes to be heard? Any one else? If not, I will declare this hearing closed and turn it over to the Council.
