City Fund For Building Moves Nearer

The $1 million capital improvement fund drew another step nearer Tuesday when the City Commission instructed City Manager L. W. Robinson Jr. to write to fiscal agents for their proposals. The money, as proposed in the 1961-62 capital improvements program, would help finance $185,000 in road improvements in the downtown business section and $50,000 would be earmarked for the sidewalk repair program. Approximately $4,000 would go toward setting up plans for a new library. Street lights in residential areas would eat up $18,480. A new bridge on Blue Road would cost $25,000. Neighborhood parks would get $31,460. Improvements at the City Garage would total $32,900. And $150,000 would go to refinance the Fire Station loan. Another pay as you go version of "Operation Bootstrap" was scrapped by the Commission because of the delays it would cause in getting the capital improvement program underway.
