the road is to go. met with the
i county court regarding the transfer

am agreed with the court that a

working out a aolutlon whereby the
road can tie m-curv<i and yet not en­
tail the county in heavy expense in

to remain in tne ownership of the

believe this can lu* accomplished and
are working to thia end. it is hoped
that a compromise can l»e at ranged
