Attorney John Postelli said
Hadley had bid S30,OOO for the
two city-owned properties as a

anding that he ould get a

ment that Hadley will be given
quick cl im deeds to the
. properties and purchase them
for $100 e ch, not $30,000 as he
had originally planned and he
. al 0 would be held liable for the
properties.

sale by quick-claim deed for the
propertie for $100 each.

sues that ere of great impor­
t nee brought up by

notice that a number ·of heavy
trucks loaded with steel, travel­
ing and parking on orne of the
re idcntial street . The e heavy
truck can "tear up the under­
ground and the urface", What
can be done about it, he said.
Wolf said City Manager
Steve Manning was "wen aware"
of the trucks traveling down the
residential streets and he was
working on the problem.
City Attorney Postelli aid
the City's Engineer would have
to do a traffic study, so he could
determine which treets could
bear the eight and also the en­
gineer h' to ize the street for
the appropriate ize of the truck
that would be going down that
treet.
Acting City Manager Sam
Watson, who was sitting in for
Manning, said. the main
problem at thi time. there are
no signs indicating that the
trucks hould not be on the
