prently scheduled. He stated that in
view of the impending trial he could not

answer his questions, that a judge would
have to rule on the case.
Mr. Robert Martin stated that he and
other concerned residents of Hickory
Place had by letter to the Council for-
mally requested a releveling and repaying
of Hickory Place. He stated that this
was a two block stretch of concrete that
had not been attended for sixty years and
that as a result had broken and missing
concrete sections. He stated that all
the City had done was to patch the area
with tar between the cracks. He spoke of
incidents of physical injury on the
street and that the run-off was poor and
that people on the Linden Avenue, around
the corner, had suffered yearly from
water run-off into the basements which
caused dry rot.

Councilman Acosta stated that the cheese
distribution, as well as butter, honey
and powered milk was going to be distri-
buted to the senior centers and core cen-
ters in the City. He stated that there
had been some problems of congestion at
the distribution centers, mainly the
Municipal Services Building. He stated
that he had spoken to the County coor-
dinator of the Countywide program and had
found that a new system was going to be
employed, wherein each City would issue
color coated cards, one to each family,
to eliminate duplication from one area to
another which would require residency in
a particular City. He stated that the
cards would be distributed at the senior
centers, for ages 60 and over;
Neighborhood Services, 59 years and
under; and that the cards would be
distributed within two weeks. He stated
that he was trying to have two senior
distribuution centers in addition to the
Neighborhood Services Center.
Mayor Addiego stated that he was not
enthusiastic about including the Grand
Avenue senior center as a distribution
center because of the congestion it had
caused in the past with the Downtown
Merchants.
