approved plans for street improve-
merit work on Pioneer Way, Fair-
nlount Street and B Street and

Tuesday.
City Engineer Pat Byrne pre-
scnted plans for the street work
and asked tile conunission to ap-
prove a request to the state to
use part of the city's ',c gas tax
nloney for the work. All of the
streets are designated arterials in
the city's street program, and,
therefore eligible fl)r the funds.

from Univei:sity to Wyandotte Av-
enues; Fairmont from Highway
101 to Puget Street, and B St, reeL
to N. 13th Street and No. 13th
SLreet from B to E Streets.
Estimated costs of the projects
are Fairmont, $9,700; Poneer
Way, $14,000 and B and 13th
Streets. $8.300.
Under the state law for use of
the /c gas tax money, the city
pays 25 per cent of the cost and
75 per cent comes from the gas

The stste has to approve the
projects where they are not up to

Byrne said. He said the city does
not have enough gas tax money
available for thework if the pro-
jects were built to the state specif-
ications.
