A,ttorney Richard Asbill appeared on behalf of Interlines-Blankenship interests and indicated his clients have no objection to the abandon- ment of the easement in exchange for future street right-of-way, but do object�t'o the proposed alignment (study #2) as it would hinder truck movements on their property and access to-and from their property. Mr. A sbill indicated that if the alignment could be more to the southwest it would'probably be acceptable to his clients. Mayor Moty askecl'1VIr. Wilson (Curto-Kennicott-Wilson) his re- action to the retention of the fishing easement, and Mr. Wilson said he was fearful that-it would-restrict building on the property if there were a recorded easement for fishing.

B. 734) upon salaries presently being paid to councilmen in general law cities in accordance with electorate approval. The opinion of that office is that such electorate approved salaries may continue to be paid but will become inoperative after the next general rnu�nicipal�el'ection �i�n.April , T:9E�6.
