Cammack, Mrs. Taylor and Mr. Alexander, representing <br />citizens of Roseland, appeared before the Board and voiced dissapproval <br />of Northwood Street railway crossing being closed by the Railway Company. <br />After considerable discussion Motion was made by Commissioner Macdonald, <br />seconded by Commissioner McCullers and unanimously carried, that the <br />County Attorney write a letter to Mr: Thornton, Vice President and Chief <br />Operating Officer of the Florida East Coast Railway, protesting this <br />action and requesting that it be corrected at once. <br />The Charman read the following letter from Mr. N. B. Ryall: <br />"April 22, 1962 <br />Mr. Robert Graves, Chairman, <br />Indian River County Commission <br />Vero Beach, Florida <br />Dear Mr. Graves: <br />Several property owners in the Northwestern area of Indian River County <br />are unable to reach their properties by other than a 4 -wheel drive <br />vehicle. The access road to this property is known as the Fellsmere- <br />Kenansville grade. <br />It seems impractical at this time to secure funds for improvement of <br />this entire road. However, if you could start at the West end of this <br />road in Indian River County and apply a cap of marl where needed East <br />fo'r 4 miles and install a few small culverts, our situation would be greatly <br />relieved. Mr. Smucker has made up the specifications for this work. Mr. <br />Hamilton has inspected the area and found a convenient source of marl <br />which can be used. <br />The interested land owners are willing to contribute $1500 toward this <br />work if it can be undertaken soon. We believe this should -cover the cost <br />of labor and fuel for the county equipment. <br />'Thank you for your consideration in this matter. <br />Yours very truly, <br />/s/ N. B. Ryall <br />N. B. Ryall" <br />After considerable discussion Motion was made by Commissioner <br />
