It was determined, from the letters, that the work completed on the 'New Earth Channel' was found to be un- satisfactory; the shoulder 'patching' was done satisfactorily. Discussion followed relative to acceptance of the subdivision, with the PINK HORSE exception of the drainaL-;e channel. The Staff recommended acceptance RANCH UNIT N.C. 1 of the subdivision, with the exception of the channel. Councilman Davey moved that the Town accept the roads in Pink Horse Ranch No. 1, on the condition that Mr. Roscoe fulfill his obligation, including the work on the channel. The motion was seconded by Council- man Benson. Mr. N. W. Roscoe explained that he had cleaned the channel and corrected the portion which restricted the flow of water, and that he could not do any further work without encroaching on private property.
