In answer to a question by Councilman McCaron, City Engineer Young explained that previously there had been a charge of $.50 for each foot for staking but this had been discontinued. Mayor Morehead stated that the reason for discontinuing this charge was that there was no incentive for the property owners to put in curb and gutters when they had to pay for the staking. Discussion followed that the present rate for one survey party of three 3) men was $23.50 to $26.50 for each hour; that this amount was paid from the time they left their office.

Councilman McCaron stated if there was no burden on the district, in his opinion, the City was being compensated for it possibly by the use of the County right-of-way.
