width of go feet after the acquisi-
tion of right of way and the estab-
lishment of final line, The
state is willing to cooperate in the
acquisition of this right of way
but feels that the initial steps
should be taken by the town of
Smyrna. Our right of way depart
ment will help in any way when
called upon. 8. All underground
utilities should be placed by the
town of Smyrna before or during
construction in order to eliminate
the possibility of having to tear up

way with 2-foot integral curb and
gutter. A 2-foot grass plot behind
the curb and 5-foot concrete side
walk. This plot is placed in order
to allow the primary transmission
line, poles anl street lighting to be
placed adjacent to the curb. 5.
Included in the construction will be
the curbs and sidewalk but the
agreement with the town Of Smyr-
ma for future maintenance and re-
construction will be from curb to
curb only" The letter also said
I'VE will immediately begin the
final line and location in order to
determine the exact point where
we will meet u. S. 13 and as soon
as that has been determined, will
notify you so that final arrange
ments for right of way can be ac-
complished."
