It seemed <br />ludicrous to her to spend this amount of money on maintenance if <br />the grove continues to lose money. She pointed out that road care <br />costs are 50 percent higher than those of private groves in this <br />county. She believed it would be better not to dump any more money <br />into the grove. <br />General Services Director Sonny Dean advised that this is the <br />third time we have rebid this item. The price quoted is for the <br />total services offered. <br />8 <br />August 16, 1994 <br />
