It was Mr. Bradford's suggestion that if the Board of Directors would approve the road and enter into an agreement with the Village not to interfere in any way with the approvals which are necessary for the road's completion, that he (Mr. Bradford) would recommend to the Village Council that the Village provide water service to that property.
