dents who have been named to

need to be made He also
suggested that the city pave
one of the short streets in town
as a beginning of a continuing
project to improve city streets.
There are some people, Fogg
said, who have never had a
paved street. The mayor also
pointed out that paving one
strdet at a time would be better
than having to go back and fill
in holes which are then washed
out during rains.
Pete Massaro, city works
superintendent, said such a
program would show no great
immediate results but in the
long range would provide some
good streets for Ingleside
One spectator in the audience
questioned the council about
paving part of Avenue A past
Fourth Street. Mrs. David
Cobb, wife of the councilman,
asked the council if that
particular section of Avenue A
will be overlooked again
Mrs. Cobb said that after
Hurricane Celia the city had left
that section unpaved so that it
could get government help. She
said T>aUujQ# had been done
since the^and that the street is
in very bad condition.
Mrs. Cobb’s question was
raised when councilmen joked
that they copld not pave their
own streets.
Massaro told the council that
he has spoken to county
commissioner Pat Kindle about
a project now under way to pave
Avenue A from Highway 35 in
Aransas Pass to Fourth Street
in Ingleside. This does not
include the area Mrs. Cobb was
concerned about
Massaro said Kindle had said
the county will pave the area
from Mooney Lane to Fourth
Street which is inside the city
limits and would like the city’s
participating in the project.
Massaro said the council would
have to get together with Kindle
on the matter
The city will conduct a survey
of streets to determine possi-
bilities for pavement The
survey will take into account
the traffic on the streets and the
length
