The City Manager reported that he did not think it advisable for the City to sell sand and gravel for at least 60days on account of the shortage of this material within a reasonable hauling distance, and that the City would probably need all of the sand and gravel they could get. The Council requested the City Manager to make a further study of this matter and report at the next Council meeting.
