CITY ZONING HEARING SET FOR JULY 1 2 Center Street Improvements Improve-ments Requested By-Business By-Business Men Public hearing on Provo's proposed new zoning ordinance ordin-ance will be held Monday night, July 12, instead of July 8, as originally scheduled, sched-uled, it was decided at city commission meeting Thursday. Thurs-day. Advancement of the hearing to July 12 will permit a more complete com-plete airing of the problem, the commissioners agreed. Also it will give city attorneys and other officials of-ficials more lime to study the legal matters connected with the question. Interest Prevails The zoning hearing will be a lively one. Mayor Mark Anderson believes. Considerable controversy has arisen over the problem, especially es-pecially concerning the matter of mortuaries. A committee headed by Clyde Crockett, representing the business busi-ness interests along Center street, met with the commission, asking that road and sidewalk improvements improve-ments be made along Center street between University avenue and Fifth West. Installation of a drinking fountain foun-tain on the south sidewalk between be-tween First and Second West, raising the gutter along the same sidewalk, and resurfacing the street were among the improvements improve-ments asked by the committee. Mayor Mark Anderson said that making improvements along Center Cen-ter street has long been considered consider-ed by the city, but that no action could be taken before the commissioners com-missioners meet with the state road commission next week. The improvements made likely will r? financed by the city, the road commission, com-mission, and the property owners, the mayor said. j To Resurface Street ! If plans materialize, complete J resurfacing of Center street be tween university avenue ana Fifth West will be made. Rock asphalt, a non-skid surfacing, will be used, according to Commissioner Commission-er J. P. McGuire. R.ock asphalt is durable as well as economical, said Mr. McGuire. Cost of repair for- 68 blocks of this I paving in the northeastern section of Provo for the past year was but $161.98. he said. This amount is less than it would take to sprinkle these streets if they were unsurfaced, he poinfpd out.
