City to Pay Off Simpson Lake Tract for Brady Lake
The City Council voted to pay 3985 to the court for the Simpson Lake tract needed for Brady Lake though the case remains in County Court. Perry Hartgraves, the city attorney, said possession and construction can proceed, with final costs uncertain. The Simpson Lake Club appeals and proposes an easement instead of purchase for 4.1 acres, a key lake area, while the highway department plans a Dodge road bridge that may affect right of way. Some council members worry easement could invite civil suits and complicate future rights.
