Mr. Rosengren stated they were stockpiling the remaining gravel for driveways in the Lakeview area. Mr. L'Allier stated that 80th was impassible after a rainstorm. Mr. L'Allier mentioned that he had heard that there was talk of horses causing damage to gravelled Village roads and invited comment from the audience. This brought on a half-hour of discussion, pro and con as to damage, where one could ride a horse, why some roads were worse than others irregardless of horses, damage by sod-trucks, etc. The discussion was tabled until later so that other business could be attended to.
