He stated that the County had been using thisstrip for junked cars and the burning of these caused an odor situation; he also stated that the City often dumped their refuse at a time when no equipment was available to cover it until several hours later.

The Board makes these recommendations for changes in the Typical Section found to befeasible by the State Road: Department: That instead of dividing the job into two Typical Sections as previously proposed, there be one Typical Section through the. entire length of the job, which would contain the proposed five foot bicycle path on either the east side or the west side. as determined most feasible by the design engineer acid to include at each intersection. First Street. or R. D.

The Administrator.reported that the County Road Department was busy With.otherprojecte, that he had not intended to go into a full scale operation on this project but felt that the Road Department could, from time to time, go there and do some drainage work and lay marl roads. It was suggested that the owners of these lots might like to pay the difference between the cost of the marl'roads and paved streets, and the Administrator was authorized to contact the owners to see if they would be willing to pay this difference to bring the Subdivision up to regular Subdivision Regulations. He said that the County would be unable to do any work there until the latter part of the summer. A letter from Bob PaulendfLum's Restaurant was read, • requesting a curb cut on U. S.
