Pollard reported yesterday he had been advised by an official in the San Luis Obispo office of L. E.

Gibson, district state highway engineer, that 66 feet would be a suitable width for the widened thorofare. The councilman also reported unofficially that the state would meet half the cost of widening and the city-at-large and property owners would be. required to share the remaining cost. Before asking the city engineers office to prepare plans and specifications, we'll try to get the exact requirements in writing from the state," Pollard advised.
