City Rejects 6000 Toward State Right of Way Purchase
City council last night approved a finance committee report that the city will not advance 6000 toward buying the old right of way for the state highway. The plan would have the city and county each contribute 6000 and the state highway department 11.6, totaling 27800, but city solicitor said funds cannot be turned over to the state for this purchase. The only way the city could participate would be if the state buys the property and conducts the improvement, with the city sharing costs.
