The Shelton City Commission
said Tuesday it would have a de-
cision next week on whether or
not it would accept the offer of
Bonneville Power Administration

new power line through its water-
shed property.
The city and Bonheville have
been working on a proposed con-
tract for the past several week.,

all except the price to be paid
for the easement.
Bonneville has offered $10,600
for the easement which would cor-
m" some 26.6 acres. Mayor Frank

he thought this figure was too
low. The mayor said that until it
c~)uld be explained to his satisfac-
lion why the amonnt offered the
city was less than that. offered to
other property owners in the area,
he would be opposed to approv-
ing the easement.

appraisal of the property by Tom
Morris, Gig Hmbor, which had
been made for the city. Morris set
the vaJue of the property at $14,-

the letter of explanation accom-
panying the appraisal whether this
was an appraisal of the property
on a selling price basis or for the
value of the proposed easement.

ported that the cracks in the walls

quarters in the basement had been
sealed and that it appeared that
