look really good. Gravel and red

should dust coat or not. Was not
sure that we should dust coat 218th.
Les thought that we should dust coat once before the county fair and
that’s it. More discussion
ensued.

Stang said that he’s seen the 40-mph signs all over.
Why did Delaware get skipped.
Reason was that it is a major road to Highway 169.

interested in donating some money. Will
ask By the Yard if they would like to do some sharing in the cost of these by
doing some advertising.
