<br />three ways The Town to operate their properties for them The Town to purchase
<br />their properties outright The Town to lease their properties. They reserve the
<br />right to reject any proposition which the Town suggests, if not satisfactory to them.
<br />A discussion of the advantages and disadvantages of the Town acquiring the properties
<br />of the Water District followed. The well sites being the chief advantage to the Town.

<br />Councilman, the Clerk was instructed to write the Pleasanton Township County Water
<br />District that it is the opinion of the Town Council that, at the present time, we are
