Mr. Leon Shapiro, Vice President of 101, said they had tried to deal with the owner of the abutting property, Mr. Till, but have had no success, if they could come to some agreement they would go along with the recommended location; he said they were willing to sign an agreement that they would not sell this land or do anything with it for three years and would dedicate it any time in the three years when it is needed. C. A. Armstrong, City Engineer, said the 66 foot.raodway had been decided when Crenlo came in, there was no plat at that time but he did recommend 66 feet, 75 feet would be better but he said he still felt that 66 feet would be adequate.
