J.: It was certainly a pleasure to meet with you and council member Kline on the 11th. I have enclosed a copy of my letter to the County Engineer, Richard P. Doss, re- Questing a traffic study of Spencer at Farrington. There will be additional ma- • terial applied to the surface at the intersection Spencer at Underwood early next year. Hopefully the modifications to the signal which will allow for protected left turn from Spencer to Underwood will be completed before long. The traffic volwne on Underwood has not been sufficient to warrant the construction of left turn lanes. However, the situation will be reviewed prior to the reconstruction of Underwood Road. You may recall during the discussion of the condition of the north lanes of Fairmont that the impending 1975 Bond Project reconstruction was mentioned as a determining factor in the kind of repairs Precinct 1 has made. The Bond Project will include the removal and replacement of all existing sub-grade. For this reason, Precinct 1 will limit the repair work as much as possible in order to avoid investing both materials and labor in the more lasting repair work which requires replacement of the surface and sub-grade where the detrioration has taken place. Naturally, every- one looks forward to the elimination of this problem by the Bond Project reconstruc- tion. I have asked Mike Noblet, Precinct 1 Environmental Aide, to get in touch with you in order to see if there is anything Precinct 1 can do to assist you regarding the problem you described with the Flood Control ditch between San Jacinto and Texas. Mike is very knowledgeable about the operations within the Flood Control District and is the member of my staff who acts as liaison to the District. As I mentioned at our meeting the area office of Precinct 1 which serves the La Porte area is operated by Jane Cherry and located in the new Clear Lake Courthouse Annex.
