Englewood this morning, it had passed him by needlessly. When he

rule, rather than the exception with this bus driver, and that he
needed some sort of public relations course.

similar comments from citizens concerning this bus driver.

driver was an abrupt individual, but that this contact went beyond

to enclose a 70 ft. open ditch on his property in order to encroach
upon it for a parking lot.
Councilman Brown questioned Mr. Carroll as to whether he
saw an advantage in closing it. Mr. Carroll stated that the
advantages to the utility operation would be to reduce maintenance
for utility purposes.
Councilman Blessing left the room at 9:45 P.M.
City Manager Dial stated that there was a question before
the Parks and Recreation Commission previously on this type of
closing. They felt that since so much of the City ditch was
already enclosed, that it would be OK to further enclose minor
sections of it.

closed on both sides of Mr. Corah's property, except for this 70 ft.
