for the record, to allow him to purchase street salt whenever, and if possible,

did not think the Board could do that. Mayor Pickett stated he could not go
along with the procedure the engineer was requesting. Mr. Hohl stated he had
about 75 tons of salt left. Since the weather is so unpredictable he wasn't sure
