was reviewed by the Commission: -
"Gentlemen:
At your last meeting, July 16, 1968, permission was granted to

right-of-way used for previous main installations.

engineering this project for the pipeline company. They explained
that normally they would prefer to use their existing right-of-way
for any new lines, however, in this case the gravel pit in Section
18 (State Sand & Gravel) has excavated so much material from the
area adjacent to the present right-of-way easement, that it would
be unsafe engineering practice to attempt to fit this proposed new
main into that easement.
Accordingly, and at extra expense to the pipeline company,
they have been forced to negotiate for a new easement in the gravel
