He further explained <br />that as a county State aid highway, the County takes <br />funds from the gas tax for maintainance and upkeep, <br />and those funds would be lost if it became a City <br />street. <br />Mr. Minetor clarified that right of way costs are <br />• eligible for MSA reimbursement. <br />Mr. Paulu stated the last word he had had was that <br />bids for the completion of Hwy. 6I0 would be let <br />in July 1991, for 1992 construction.
