Springs, appeared before Council and stated that his company is the recent pur- chaser of the•station and wish to improve the area.

It will be necessary for the complete relocation of one of the drive- ways as a result of modifying the curb radius. If the com- pany is expected to assume the abnormal cost for construction of the building, it would appear logical that the City might work out a compromise in relation to cost of curb installation.
