cuddlesacks no longer be accepted but to use T's instead. Mr.

than it is now stated. New roads would include double surface
shoulders, prime coats and fabric. An approximate cost to a

4. Town Wide Water Benefit Area:
The Water Committee felt a .combination of a water surcharge
and a percent charged per thousand of assessment would be in order.
The majority of the revenues would come from the water surcharge
and a small amount from the assessment. ONLY EXISTING AND FUTURE
DISTRICTS WOULD BE INCLUDED IN THESE CHARGES. Mr. Herrick stated the
the annual charge for a family would be approximately $43.00 if
they were hooked up to public water and $19.00 if they were in a
district but not hooked up.
5. Mrs. Kirby will contact Mr. Swearingen to see if it will
