discuasedo It was pointed out that the land al.one might cost as much as $150 1 0000

structing a new residence and needed to knov1 whether or not the City was definitely
going to take their propertyo

of forty acres for a reservoir site would not succeed unless the remainder of too lands
was going to be acquired"
