ESTHER NEWLAN, 2525 "N" Avenue, was present and said the portion she was object- ing to was a 17' strip between the curb and the sidewalk; it seemed extremely large, larger than most people's livingrooms; her property was 165' long and that would be a 17' strip to keep up. Mr. Onley pointed out Mrs. Newlanes property on the map. Mrs. Newlan said along this sidewalk originally designed by the Engineering Department it was concrete up to the portion near the tree, the portion being sectioned off at the present time was the asphalt; the asphalt would be a little more of the distant based from the base of the tree from what her drive was, her north drive; she would like permission to have her north drive in asphalt as the City had arranged to do for the sidewalks. There was discussion. Mrs. Newlan inquired if it would be necessary for her driveway to be 17' deep and not put the sidewalk in. Mr. Onley said if they put the driveway in in the Engineering Department the way it was, it had to be concrete; the only people who could change that was this group of men right here. Mrs. Newlan said this was the group of men who voted to hold the tree; she would appre ciate the consideration of less money from her to keep the asphalt in the future. Mayor Morgan asked if this would bother her very much if they didn't put in the sidewalk.
