SOUTHWEST AREA. Discussion. The question was raised as to whether Mr.

been established several years ago whereby subdividers would be requested
to contribute money in lieu of land for Parks and Playgrounds so as to
centralize these facilities to the best interest of the City of Hutch-
inson.
Engineer Priebe will continue to work on suggested street layout for
this SW area.
Engineer Priebe suggested that the cost of moving the warehouse belonging
