has informed him she wants $25 a
lot-a total of $250-before giving
easements.
/ Mayor Andrew Bettwy declared
"The lots are not worth two bits at
present the ground is worthless
now. it would cost from $500 to
$1,000 to pave in front of each lot
and here comes the state highway
department and wants to pave free.
The new highway would add $1,000
to the value of Mrs Wright's pro-
perty".

Wright who is now out of town on
a vacation trip will not be back un-
til about the 21ft of October and
