MINUTE BOOK No. 24, CITY OF OXFORD
A number of citizens who reside on Jeff Davis Road E x tended in Horne
Sbudivision appeared before the Mayor and Board of Aldermen to request that
the City of Oxford pave and otherwise improve their street. Mr. N. C. Horne,
spokesman for the group, requested that the City Engineer make an estimate of
the cost per lineal foot for the improvements before final action is taken to
declare the improvements necessary.
