Mr. Waggoner, wilt) is attending the City Managers ' Short Course
at Delray Beach, left a communication to the mayor and Town
Council requesting that we start work tmmediately to secure
the necessary right-of-way for making Church Road 60 feet wide ..
as Mr. Mallard has advised that the County will pave it if we
acquire the 60 foot right-of-way. He suggested that if Mr.
Thompson is unable to do this work, due to the time element,
that Mr. Harcourt Bull be employed as he is familiar with the
property and has stated that it could be done for between
610.00 and $15.00 per parcel. There are 15 parcels necessary
for this right-of-way. This matter was discussed and Mr.
Thompson advised that he would not have the time and that Mr.
Bull was far more familiar with this area than he, and could
therefore get the work done quicker. Thereforem upon motion
of Mr. Wardrep, seconded by Mr. Howell approval was given for
Mr, Harcourt Bull tt 'legal work in connection with getting
the deeds for this right---of-way.
