This would look good for their customers. Mr. Gotwald would have to check their plans. Mr. Locher stated that we would have to see their insurance coverage soon on this.

Mr. Backlin stated that they would work on8Oth tomorrow, digging the holes out and filling with gravel. He thought they should gravel the whole piece, although it is holding up quite well. They would like to up -grade the bounty Line; will try some pit -run gravel for the base and add Class 5. Some of the roads are now ready for the oil, but dust control is needed. Calcium Chloride was suggested in front of the driveways. This works well as it packs and keeps the road moist. Mr. Gotwald is checking on liquid sulfite prices.
