The street is now thirty (30) feet wide between curbs and we could widen it to thirty-six (36) feet which would necessitate removing ten of the large trees. The total cost to do this, we estimate to be 423,302.00. Inasmuch as this street is a portion of U. S. Route 250, to be able to secure State or Federal Aid, we would have to have a minimum of forty (40) feet between curbs. To be able to get this, we would have to take out all the trees on one side and eleminate the grass plot completely. We estimate this would cost �31,;c40.00.
