THE OTHER DRAINAGE TO THE WEST GOES ALONG THE ROAD AND THROUGH MR. C.N. <br />KIRRIE'S PROPERTY. THE ADMINISTRATOR INFORMED THE BOARD THAT THERE WAS <br />A LAWSUIT SOMETIME AGO AND THE COURT DECIDED ON A RIGHT—OF—WAY WHICH <br />RUNS NORTH ON THE SIDE OF MR. KIRRIE'S PROPERTY, AND IT WAS AGREED THAT <br />THE EAST—WEST PART BY MR. KIRRIE'S PROPERTY WOULD BE MOVED 35' TO THE <br />NORTH. ADMINISTRATOR JENNINGS CONTINUED THAT HE DID NOT FEEL JUST <br />CLEANING THE DITCHES WILL SOLVE THE PROBLEM BECAUSE OF THE BALK THEY <br />RUN INTO FURTHER ON. HE STATED THAT HE DID HAVE THE DITCHES CLEANED ALL <br />THE WAY AROUND ONE TIME AND INTENDED TO CUT AN OPENING THROUGH THE BALK, <br />BUT HIS MEN WERE PREVENTED BY SHOTGUN FROM GOING ANY FURTHER. THE <br />ADMINISTRATOR CONTINUED THAT HE HAD RECENTLY RECEIVED A LETTER FROM THE <br />ROSELAND PROPERTY OWNERS ASSOCIATION REQUESTING THE CLEANING OF THE DITCH <br />AT THE SOUTH END ON ELAINE STREET, AND HE HAD TRIED TO DO THIS, BUT RAN <br />INTO OBJECTIONS. <br />ADMINISTRATOR JENNINGS POINTED OUT THAT IT COSTS MONEY TO LOAD <br />AND UNLOAD THE MACHINES NECESSARY TO CLEAN THESE DITCHES AND TAKE THEM <br />BACK AND FORTH TO ROSELAND, AND HE IS UNWILLING TO SEND THEM BACK TILL <br />THE MATTER IS SETTLED. •HE STATED THAT HE BELIEVES WE CAN GIVE THE PEOPLE <br />UP THERE BETTER DRAINAGE AS THERE IS NO MAJOR PROBLEM TO OPENING UP <br />THIS DITCH IF THE PEOPLE THEMSELVES CAN AGREE TO A RIGHT—OF—WAY. THE <br />ADMINISTRATOR SAID HE FELT A NEW DITCH SHOULD BE DUG IN THE LOCATION <br />DETERMINED BY THE COURT AND THE MATERIAL USED TO FILL UP THE OLD DITCH. <br />MR. KIRRIE WOULD THEREBY GAIN SOME LAND WHICH THE COURT AGREED HE SHOULD <br />i <br />HAVE. HE CONTINUED THAT THE PROPER COURSE WOULD BE TO FLAG THE RIGHT—OF— <br />WAY WHERE THE DITCH IS SUPPOSED TO BE AND SOME ARRANGEMENTS MUST BE MADE <br />TO OPEN UP THE LITTLE RIDGE WHERE IT BACKS UP AND OVERFLOWS, THIS <br />RIDGE IS LOCATED ON PRIVATE PROPERTY. <br />BOTH MRS. MCCOLLUM AND MR. KIRRIE WERE PRESENT AND THE ADMINISTRATOR <br />REQUESTED THAT THEY GET TOGETHER WITH OTHER PROPERTY OWNERS IN THE AREA <br />AND TRY AND WORK THIS OUT, <br />MR. KIRRIE STATED HE BELIEVED THERE IS AN EASEMENT BY A.A. BERRY <br />SUBDIVISION THAT CAN BE WORKED ON TO SOLVE THIS PROBLEM. <br />ADMINISTRATOR JENNINGS POINTED OUT THAT A.A. BERRY SUBDIVISION <br />GOES BACK INTO THE 1890'S, AND IT MUST BE DEFINITELY DETERMINED THAT THERE <br />IS A LEGITIMATE EASEMENT AND ALSO CONVINCE THE PEOPLE THERE THAT THERE IS <br />A LEGITIMATE EASEMENT, <br />27 <br />SEP 2 21976 <br />
