giving his report regarding the request of Mr. F. Perz, 651
W. Gladstone St., for relocation of the power pole located on
the soutleast corner of his property at 651 W. Gladstone St.

should be the entire expense of the City.
Mr. Fred Perz, owner of the apartment building at 651 W.

turn into his driveway with his jeep as the pole is 2 feet
in from the driveway. He again told Council he has had two
accidents and three citations due to this problem.
