MINUTE BOOK No. 24, CITY OF OXFORD
It appearing that those protesting the improvements on Ole Miss Drive and
Cherokee Drive constitutes a majority of property owners owning more that (50%)
Fifty per cent of the front footage of the property involved and actually re-
siding on property owned by them and included within that part of the streets
proposed to be specially improved, or otherwise actually occupying property
owned by them included within the area, the Mayor and Board, therefore, re-
scinded its prior resolution declaring the improvements proposed necessary and
abandoned going forward with such improvements.
With respect to Jackson Avenue Extended, Mr. T. E. Combs, one qualified
under Section 3664-04, objected to the proposed improvements, and Mr. Harold
Bushing, who stated that he represented Mrs. Mary Judge, appeared and advised
that Mrs. Judge objected to such improvements on Jackson Avenue. The Board
finds that although Mrs. Judge is one qualified to object under Section 3664-04
her objection may not be sustained unless she appears in person, by attorney,
or by petition and, Mr. Bushing not being An attorney, the objection offered
in behalf of Mrs. Judge by him is not a valid objections. Mr. Russell Blair,
representing Mr. Seth Styers and Mr. Gerald A. Gafford, appeared and advised
that his clients would not object and that they would supply part of the funds
for the proposed improvements if the City would assume, a part of the expense
in the improvements. Mr. Blair's proposition not being clear to the Mayor and
Board, the City Attorney was advised to request Mr. Blair to make such proposal
in writing and, in the meantime, the Mayor and Board took up the matter of the
objections to Jackson Avenue Extended under advisement and continued it for
further consideation.
