RE: EASEMENT THROUGH PROPERTY Mayor Porter said he met with De Loy Ward about the easement through his property. He wants to develop about eight lots as we agreed to about a month ago. The mayor suggested that we pass a resolution saying that on 8 lots he could hook up to the sewer and charge would be just the same as it is for the people in the city in return for his giving us the easement. The water hookup and everything else would be the same as anyone else outside the city. At the end of 7th South at 2nd West there is a strip of land that goes over where the college is but there is no street. John Millar suggested that we gravel approximately a 250 lane to allow those people to go into their pro- perty to develop it.
