He further stated they would be satisfied with marl or rock or anything. The Chairman asked the County Engineer if he had figured how much it would cost with Asphalt or maybe Concrete. The County Engineer stated a rough estimate would be around $5,000.00 for an asphalt walkway and about $6500.00 for a concrete walkway. Motion was made by Commissioner Waddell, seconded by Commissioner Mac- donald and unanimously carried, that the County Engineer be requested to investigate the possibility of the City aiding us in this project and report back to the Board at the next meeting. And further the Board is only interested in a concrete walkway. A delegation from Roseland appeared before the Board and requested that the County open up the ditch which had been closed because of a request from Mrs. Hansen and others. The County Engineer stated that Ed Carter of Carter Engineering had called him last week and said he had been hired by Mrs. Hansen to do some surveying, etc. in this area for the reason that Mrs. Hansen wants to put in a subdivision, and that after Mr. Carter made his survey he might come up with some solution to the drainage problem in that area. After considerable discussion the Board requested the County Engineer try to obtain a report from Carter Engineering on their findings before the next Board meeting and report back at that time. 1,30 7 'PA:3E247
