Mrs. Gleason saiid she had received a request for street lights from a neighborhood association which did not appear on the list. Mr. Hendrix explained that the request should be sent to the traffic engineer for the City who would send out the proper forms and follow through with notifying sur~onnding neighbors to insure that all who would be effected by the lights wanted them. Mr. Hendrix further stated that if the request was approved, then Council would need to approve a supplemental appropriation fOr the amount needed. Mr. Conover noted concern about the charge for installing underground service, and Mr. Hendrix acknowledged that it was expensive but that the rates were VEPCO's .charges as approved by the State Corporation Commission.
