It was the first time that the matter appear ed on the agenda and a three fourths majority was needed to ratify the agreement. , Councilmen R. . L. Van Sickle and Ed Hall voted for further study on the matter as they felt the 20 acres of land located along Bullock rd. might have some value as a future park site, r'rea mod- inson also voted against it as he, had some "questions, State Offer Te state had offered the city $15,000 for use of the land and agreed to level and bank the borrow pit when finished. Van Sickle pointed out that this offer covered only the value of the gravel itself and did not provide for any "dam' sues" in case the land had some other value.

Langford showed slides of the area which indicated that some 70 to 100 oak trees would have to be removed if the state used the property as a burrow-pit, Mayor John W. Snider was opposed to deferring action on the matter and said "I'm not in favor of delaying. . . I don't think it's going to de tract from the many acres of airport land we have already. He added that the highway will benefit the whole com munity. He said: "I am per sonally satisfied that it is the riKht thing to do." It was pointed out that the state will not provide fill dirt for the excavated area and will leave it largely barren rock.
