The mayor announced that this meeting was called for the purpose of conferring with. the members of the Board of Supervisors of the Town of New Canada about the division of a.sseta and property of the town. This matter has been delayed from time to time since last October when the village was organized and it appeared that it is now possible to get the matter completely settled. Before the meeting with the members of the New Canada Town Board began, Mr. Don Roberts, a contractor a.nd developer, appeared and advised the council that he wants the council to wait until he can get things settled with the State Highway Department before he finishes Gervais Creek Road, He then raised the question of why a building permit was granted to Thomas Campanaro when the road had not yet been finished, After considerable discussion and argument, much of which was not pertinent to the question at hand, bor. Roberts was asked gust what he had come to the council for and if it was his intention to convey the impression that he doesn't want to do anything aT, all about Gervais Cr®ek Road, Mr. Roberts hastened to advise the council that he is not taking that position but that he believes that someone should share with. him the 4$300.00 cost of com- pleting the road which was the estimated oust by the village engin- eer. He offered to pay 4$150.00. The council took the matter under advisement and took no action. The next business was the meeting with the Board of Super- visors of th.e Town of New Canada, a.ll. of whom were present as well as their treasurer and their clerk. All of the items of cash pro- perty, both real and. personal, were reviewed in detail. A number of questions concerning the legal aspects of the problem were asked of and answered by Mr. Memmer. The two governing bodies finally approved informally and without a motion the following division of propertyt FIRST: Inasmuch as there was no free cash balance at the time of the incorporation of the Village for the reason that the floating indebtedness of the Toorn exceeded its cash, the two governing bodies agreed that the deficit would be shared. Balancing thin deficit off against the personal pro- perty such as grader, truck, road equipment, etc., it wa.s decided that the Town pay to the Village the sum of Two Hundred Ninety-five Dollars (41+295.00).
