It was also noted that Tom Leland, engineer for the city engineers, T, H. McGuire and Son of Grass Valley, had maintained at an earlier meeting that the slopes would hold and would nog run off igto the street, At that session it was suggested that Leland appear at the next meeting to answer questions about the job. Both Leland and Mrs, Hildebrand were at the Monday night theeting. Under brief questioning by the council, Leland again maintained that while there would be normal sluffing off on the slopes, they would not cave in, Mrs,. Hildebrand maintained that the street "is a mess” and said she was trying to sell her property and the street job had decreased the value of her land. She said Councilman Joe Day, Jr. , was a realtor and the counecil should ask him, Day said the street improvement project had definitely affected property values and if the city had to put in retaining walls it would increase area land values that much more, : Councilman Bob Paine asked Robinson how long it had taken the city to build up enough gas tax monies for the $55,000 project and Robinson said it was about five years, The improvement of the two streets covers less than half. mile.Day suggested that the city would just have to wait and see what happened on the slopes during the winter.
