Mr. Rubbelke of 380 S. Lexington Avenue called today about the proposed improvement of South Lexington Avenue. He told me that he speaks for the people who own property south of Jefferson Avenue on Lexington. He said they have one pri_mary objection to this iunprovement, and that is, that a wider, better road would likely influence the city towards making Lexington a truck route. He said that if they could get firm assurances that this would not happen, most of their objections would be overcome. Can this council give such a firm assurance? If we can give such an assurance, I would suggest that we write to Mr. Rubbelke telling him so.

The sidewalks on Juliet Avenue were replaced during 1963 and being a corner lot owner, the assessment for that pro�ect will become due this comi.ng year too. • The proposed Lexington Parkway improvement pro3ect will be an additional burden upon �e over the next several years. I am well aware that the streets and sidewalks of Saint Paul must be improved from time to t�.me and lcept in the best possible condition. However� as explained above, the burden of this cost is spread over tioo short a period of time. I would like to ask one question: Why are the property o��rners assessed for resurfacing and curbing the streets which are used by all the people who drive cars? Yours very truly, � D. R. GILLESPI M.
