a hold harmless agreement. ~tr. Dennehy advised a supervised
program will now be held there.

like their own field and this might be possible here. Pr. Kerin
suggested that the debris which the sweeper pulls in be dumped
in this area as fill. l~r. Skinner will be advised of this.

at this time are in very poor condition and it is very hard to
secure parts for the equipment we now have.

insurance for it. The Board agreed to provide him with gas and
oil and when maintenance problems arise he is to come in and
decisions will be made at that time.
