8 Manager Renshaw advised that he felt that granting the easements would be of material benefit to the District, since it would enable the Power Company to pro­vide an intermediate source of power and increase the dependability of the supply to the well field. He called attention to the fact, however, that the easement along southerly boundary of Section 30 had been laid out to permit construction of a 100 foot street and was, therefore, separated from the boundary of the District property by 30 feet. He questioned whether this would be as desirable from the Districts standpoifat as a location adjoining the boundary. He also pointed out that the ease­ment would cross the forty acres on which an option was being given the School District. In response to a question, Attorney McNamee advised that the option had not actually been prepared and it could be made subject to the easement. Following a lengthy discussion it was agreed to defer action on the matter until a later date and the Manager was instructed to discuss the location of the easement further with the Power Company.
